Is our global economy a parasitic loop stealing from the future? In this episode, we decode the global credit food chain and investigate how the Bond Vigilantes of 2025—the market’s ultimate enforcers—use interest rates to penalize “high-entropy” government policies.

We dive deep into the concept of Entropy Debt: the idea that when one generation over-leverages the future, they aren’t just borrowing money—they are exporting disorder and chaos to their offspring. We analyze the 2025 “One Big Beautiful Bill” as a final “Senior Subsidy” and discuss whether the AI Ouroboros (the closed-loop compute economy) will be the tool that pays off this debt or the one that accelerates our systemic collapse. Finally, we explore the “Maturation Theory”: How the “Trump experiments” and the looming Great Wealth Transfer of 2026 might be forcing a “phase shift” from a parasitic to a symbiotic social contract.
