About this podcast
Time Standard explores the potential of a civilization organized around a universal invariant—time. By anchoring value to a fixed temporal cadence, it converts energy and labor into measurable claims on real time instead of promises about the future. In this system, productivity does not inflate asset prices or expand leverage. Instead, it collapses costs, increases optionality, and returns surplus time to everyone through lower prices and greater resilience.
Follow along as we explore the potential of a hopeful world settling on a Time Standard.
