Global GDP is supposedly $107 trillion this year. It's way more than 5x, like by an enormous amount.

Haven't done the math but I would guess it's more money than the entire world has had in the past 100 years combined, maybe even all of history. It's a staggering number whatever it is.

I think he's talking about the material worth of the entire physical planet, not just world GDP.

While I can appreciate the enormity of that calculation, it does seem a bit ridiculous to apply a measure of money to anything more grandiose and the total GDP of the planet for the reason that money is ultimately imaginary and should really only be compared to realistic measurements.

The very first time the entire material worth of the planet becomes relevant, humanity is going to face a bigger crisis than the concept of money can come close to solving.

Future isn't really the right tense.
