- About Perry:

Perry is an entrepreneur, author, speaker and self-styled social engineer. He is the founder of Copiosis, a socioeconomic system designed to gently retire capitalism. I speak with him extensively about it in this episode.

He also founded the Transamorous Network, a media project designed to support the transgender community, as well as Positively Focused, a 1:1 spiritual mentoring company serving individuals in their quest for self-awareness.

Perry served nine years in the Marine Corps as a Marine Journalist, nine years in the federal government working in Power Marketing as a media relations executive. In the private sector he was an executive at Intel where he worked for seven years serving the corporation and representing Intel on boards of many Oregon nonprofit organizations before becoming an entrepreneur.

He has a broad spiritual background which informs his entrepreneurial approach. It includes direct experience with Ayahuasca plant medicines, many years of meditation and esoteric martial arts, scholarly work in Buddhism, and more recently, a prolonged inquiry into the nature of reality supported by personal research, and inspiration and encouragement from results received.
Perry also has a Masters of Business Administration from George Fox University and a journalism certificate from the Defense Department. He lives in Portland, Oregon.


- About Copiosis:
(from the press kit)

Founded on July 4, 2013 Copiosis is increasingly being recognized around the world as a desirable successor to capitalism. It offers humanity all of capitalism’s benefits, with none of it’s problems. Copiosis has only emerged as a possibility within the last few decades simply because we lacked the technology required to implement it.

Generally, here’s how Copiosis works. Instead of allowing capital to flow to activities which generate a monetary profit, but also come with dire consequences, Copiosis provides a built-in mechanism to ensure capital only flows to activities having a NET EFFECT of making people and the planet better off.

Copiosis accomplishes this goal by replacing money with a completely virtual form of currency called net benefit reward or NBR. NBR functions like money in that you can redeem it for luxury goods. But unlike money, NBR is only redeemable, not transferrable. You and only you can redeem your NBR. When you redeem your NBR, it will cease to exist. Similarly, when you are awarded NBR, it isn’t transferred from someone else’s account. It is simply created from nothing into your account.

In Copiosis, NBR is society’s way of rewarding people who create a net benefit for people and the planet. While the algorithm is a bit more complex than this, it can be simplified as follows for any given activity:

Net Benefit = Positive Impacts – Negative Impacts
