In 1961 the retiring five-star general warned the country about the military-industrial complex. The country nodded solemnly and spent the next sixty years building exactly what he warned against. The empirical literature now puts a number on it: an extra one percentage point of military spending as a share of GDP reduces economic growth by approximately one percentage point. The country that won World War II had 96.7% less military spending than the United States has today, and it won because its productive economy had not been cannibalized to fund a peacetime military. The current allocation is the mechanism by which the United States is losing strategic competition to China.

Your economists project 2.5% annual growth. This requires 20 consecutive years of nothing going wrong, which your species has never achieved. Meanwhile your destructive economy (military spending plus its cybercrime offspring) is already 11.5% of GDP and growing faster than your actual economy. Historical collapses consistently begin when total extraction hits 35-45% of GDP. This chapter models two paths, the one you're on and the one where you redirect the murder budget. One ends with average income at $34,972 (90% CI: $26,587-$43,903). The other ends with cockroaches finding this manual.

6,650 diseases (90% CI: 5,700 diseases-8,232 diseases) have zero approved treatments. At your current pace, you'll get to all of them in 443 years (90% CI: 255 years-841 years). Redirect 1% of military spending and it drops to 36 years (90% CI: 8.15 years-106 years), preventing 10.7 billion deaths (90% CI: 6.24 billion deaths-20.3 billion deaths) at 50.3kx (90% CI: 25.0kx-111.1kx) the cost-effectiveness of anti-malaria bed nets. The whole thing costs less per year to run than Halloween costumes for dogs. But sure, take your time.

The 1% Treaty campaign's cash-flow model (raise, pass, manage), distinct from the Earth Optimization Services equity raise. Most financial plans are complicated because the writers are confused or lying. This one has three steps. Raise $1 billion (using greed, not generosity, because greed is faster). Spend it to pass the treaty. Manage $27.2 billion a year forever, with 80% curing diseases, 10% paying investors, and 10% keeping politicians obedient. The corruption is capped at 20% and fully transparent, which already makes it the most honest government program in your country's history.

The EOS money product: buy the companies that already buy policy, then point the machinery at health and wealth. Investors buy EOS equity directly. Berkshire model, public listing as soon as the proof exists.

Diseases are slowly murdering you and everyone you love while your government maintains 122 apocalypses worth of nuclear weapons for one civilization and spends 604 times more on war than on curing the diseases that are 18.4 thousand times more likely to kill you than a terrorist. Now imagine buying the companies responsible, turning their lobbying toward cures instead of war, and getting filthy rich if it works, while still holding real assets if it does not.

The PRIZE pool is not the Earth Optimization Fund. It is a separate treasury for a conditional prize: if the targets are met, the pool pays Earth Optimization Points holders; if not, depositors split the realized pool.
