Andrew — this was one of the most grounded and necessary conversations I’ve seen in a long time. You and Don covered so much of what people are feeling but rarely hear spoken aloud with this kind of clarity. The political system is failing to represent most Americans, AI is transforming the labor market faster than expected, and the frustration, fatigue, and loss of trust are real — but so is the hunger for something better.
You said something that struck me: “It’s just a matter of time before there’s a political realignment.” I believe that too. But it has to be more than political. It has to be cultural, economic, and even philosophical — a values-level shift in how we see ourselves, each other, and the systems we build.
That’s why a few of us have been quietly working on something called The Unity Project — a nonpartisan initiative to unify and uplift people in this moment of breakdown and breakthrough. It aligns deeply with what you’re building through Forward. We’re focused on practical solutions, electoral reforms, and building new models like The Unity Economy — a post-scarcity economic framework rooted in the reality that we live in an infinite, ever-expanding universe. Not metaphorically — scientifically. Scarcity is not a law of nature, it’s a design flaw we have the tools to fix.
AI doesn’t have to be a force of mass displacement. It can be a force of liberation — if we have the courage and coordination to redesign our systems around shared prosperity, human dignity, and compassionate service. That starts with telling the truth. With forming coalitions. And with remembering that independence doesn’t mean isolation — it means freedom to build together from a place of values, not dogma.
So thank you for continuing to lead, speak up, and build. If this resonates with anyone reading, The Unity Project is one piece of this shared puzzle:
