The old system was never fit for purpose - and now it's collapsing around us. So how do we co-create a Thrutopian future that we'd all be proud to leave as our legacy? What stories can we weave of possibility? Of transformation? What happens if we commit to a world based on generative values: compassion, courage, integrity? What happens if we let go of the race for meaningless money and commit instead to the things that really matter: clean air, clean water, clean soil - and clean, clear, courageous connections between all parts of ourselves, between ourselves and each other, between ourselves and the Web of Life - so that we can reclaim our birthright as self-conscious nodes in the web of life? We can do this. Some of us already are. Every week on Accidental Gods we speak with the people who are living this world into being, courageous pathfinders who are exploring the emergent edge of inter-becoming. As a species, we have all the answers, we just haven't yet crafted all the new stories and woven them into a future that works. We have the choice now - we can choose to transform…or we can face the chaos of a failing system. Our Choice. Our Chance.…","last_synced_at":"2026-09-16T10:24:02.025894+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/accidental-gods-the-thrutopian-podcast-830699"},"episode":{"title":"Playing the (New) Money Game - how to recreate sustainable money with Stef Kuypers of Happonomy","slug":"playing-the-new-money-game-how-to-recreate-sustainable-money-with-stef-kuypers-of-happonomy","published_at":"2026-05-13T00:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/accidental-gods-the-thrutopian-podcast-830699/playing-the-new-money-game-how-to-recreate-sustainable-money-with-stef-kuypers-of-happonomy","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/accidental-gods-the-thrutopian-podcast-830699","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/2ab94e2d","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/2ab94e2d/ae6c332a.mp3","summary":"If the death cult of predatory capitalism is based on money as the commodification of suffering (which it is) - how do we create a monetary system that encourages people to help each other, to create communities of place, purpose and passion that are genuinely supportive and to invest where trust and hope lead, rather than simply the hoarding of ever-increasing amounts of value? Stef Kuypers is an astonishing individual. He taught himself coding at age 14 and moved into a career in IT - but he's a complete polymath and, after working the fields of creative thinking, improvisation, and business interventions, he took a deep dive into economics, monetary systems, complexity theory and human behaviour. Today he researches how monetary systems influence both our individual behavior and how it affects the way we organize our society. He's creator of the Sustainable Money Model and works for Happonomy in Belgium. He's also aware that we don't just need a system that will work differently, we need to find ways to help people transcend the inner blocks that tell us the existing system is the only one that can work and anything else is unrealistic. So, as an avid gamer online and on tabletops, he's devised board games that help people to experience what it's like to live in worlds that work differently. And if you or anyone listening is associated with any kinds of games companies, please let us know - because regenerative gaming that models regenerative ways of living has to be one of the ways forward. That apart, we explored many routes to money and how we might handle it differently - enjoy!
