Peter Joseph closes the first season of his satirical series by building a Time Machine on set and using it to run two competing forecasts: one tracking the trends already pushing society toward deeper decline, the other sketching what the world could look like if people actually organized around solving shared problems. The second vision leans on Buckminster Fuller's 1961 thought experiment "The World Game," a simulation built to make resources work for everyone on the planet without ecological damage, which Joseph uses as a working model against the current economic and political order. Musician Kellee Maize and comedian Rick Overton make guest appearances, and recurring characters Louie the Logic Gremlin and Bob the skeleton punctuate the segments between the two timelines. As with the rest of the series, the target is faith-based reasoning propping up religion, politics, and economics alike, argued through direct address to camera rather than interviews or field footage. It ends the season on the split between where current habits are heading and where deliberate cooperation could take things instead.
