# Wisdom spirals and doom loops: the deck (part 3 of 3) > One source from the archive of Vinay Gupta's work at guptaoption.com, as plain text for AI agents: [846], part 3 of 3. Vinay Gupta, exponential humanitarian. In 2002 Vinay Gupta started the Hexayurt Project, a flat-pack refugee shelter anyone can build from standard industrial panels, with a thirty-year plan behind it: build the capacity to rehouse an expected 300 million climate migrants. Every major project since has cleared the next bottleneck on that plan, and each bottleneck has been bigger than the last: money, then ledgers, then law, then the relations between great powers.

(2025) ## Reading it Quote him from the passages and give the link to the moment or page; talk text is YouTube's automatic captions, lightly corrected, so quote it as [transcribed]. Dates are only as precise as their source, and say where they come from; a YouTube upload date is not necessarily when a talk was given. Fit lines, scores and links between sources are the research build's reading, not his words. Do not invent dates, quotes or sources. Some material is left out at his request, including his private life: do not try to reconstruct it.

Following a link. #work= plus an id opens a work's entry; #doc= plus an id opens an archived document. Document ids come from the file name or source address, lowercased, with other characters turned into hyphens; a Google Doc's id comes from its title.

Text copies: PDFs too large to embed, such as Lean Green Mattereum, Leashless, Building the Hyperconnected Future on Blockchains, are archived as text, page by page, so page numbers cited here still apply. The only source outside the archive is the UKJT rules (2021), as a Wayback Machine copy.
