EP.19 IN LOCK-STEP TOWARDS THE MARKET SUPER-ORGANISM
In this politics and finance-focused episode, the guys start off with a chat about the recent New Zealand election results, what the next term of governance holds in store for Prime Minister Jacinda Adern and her Labour government, and the implications of this (2:05).
Following this, they explore the relationship between movements in politics and the movement of money in finance- particularly in big-tech (17:30), the recent Hunter Biden "scandal" (25:50), Hayden's new-found suspicion that we're all a part of one large super-organism connected through the internet (38:29) and the feasibility of Amazon as the final harbinger of socialism through its capacity to solve the age-old economics conundrum of the planner's dilemma (45:15).
To finish off, they talk about the impending(?) spiritual death of humankind, the appropriation of wealth by tech from other sectors, voting-related chaos, and more.
