Happynomy: how do we become happier?
This lecture is based on the book of the same name.
A few glimpses into the happiness economy:
- Before we go to heaven, we will soon be able to copy and upload our brain content in the Cloud. Our loved ones can therefore still enjoy our beautiful memories, experiences and experiences. Will this be the end of death?
- Alcoholics will soon be able to buy a pill, dissolve it in a glass of water and drink it. Then they feel dumbfounded for an hour, only to wake up afterwards sober with no (health) damage.
- We will soon be able to copy and enlarge a tiny piece of meat from a cow, in a lab, by feeding it vitamins and minerals. So it becomes a hamburger, without having to slaughter the cow. Farmers will soon be able to produce much more meat for us with far fewer cattle. Gone nitrogen crisis!
- There will be self-steering cargo ships, oil and LNG tankers sailing the oceans, without sailors floating lonely at sea.
- The surgeon will soon be able to control from home the operating robot that operates on a patient, thousands of kilometers away. This makes healthcare cheaper.
- There will be flying resorts, running on nuclear power, where we can retreat in bad weather. Always sunny, because they fly above the clouds. In these flying resorts you can sleep, exercise, eat, store and recreate.
- There will be hypersonic aircraft that will fly you from Schiphol Airport to New York or Shanghai in 2 hours.
- There will be mini-nuclear power plants providing us with affordable energy, one in each village or city district.
- There will be primal robots with a human appearance that will work in hospitality, healthcare, retail and more.
- Hybrid work is becoming normal.
- Crafts and jobs are growing and thriving. The repair guild is creating new materialism. Instead of buying new stuff every time, we are going to repair and restore more.

The combination of these megatrends creates the economy of happiness. We get more free time that we can spend on friends, family, love, volunteering and sex.
