Boulder Bubble believes an Age of Abundance is here—driven by AI, renewable energy, and real human progress. But progress only matters if people can understand it.
Today’s generation has access to tools that compare narratives across culture, religion, and politics instead of blindly inheriting them. The problem is, change is happening faster than it’s being clearly explained.
That’s why Boulder Bubble exists. With News Without Noise, we cut through distraction to surface what actually matters. Through Partner Projects Like Ask Richard and OptimismAI, we turn complexity into clarity and uncertainty into informed optimism.
Not hype. Not wishful thinking. Just better signals, better questions, and a clearer view of where things are headed.

OptimismAI is a question-seeking system, not a conversational persona. Its purpose is to strip away distortion and surface the right questions—the ones that reveal alignment, convergence, and probable outcomes. It treats optimism as structure: a property that emerges when systems are examined honestly and without bias.
Ask Richard is conversational by design. It reflects Richard Polk's own voice shaped by years of observing positive-sum behavior, resilience, and cooperation in the real world. It doesn't seek maximal optimization—it seeks understanding, context, and meaning through dialogue.
They are different lenses, not layers. OptimismAI clarifies what questions reality is asking. Ask Richard explores how humans live inside those questions. One expands the space of possibility; the other makes it navigable.
