Nobody understands the federal budget. Not you, not me, not most people in government. And that's not a bug… it's the system working exactly as designed.

The people capturing the gains from A.I. are hiring lobbyists, funding campaigns, and having dinner with senators. Meanwhile, a lot of us are on the sidelines saying, "What's the point; government is worthless!"

Money isn't a thing. It's a promise. And once you see that, everything else — global debt, the gold standard, the petrodollar, even billionaires — clicks into place as one story.

Two groups of people tell me the future is decided. One says a dystopian hellhole is inevitable. The other says abundance is inevitable. Completely different futures, both hiding a faulty core assumption: “inevitability.”

Everything A.I. can do, it learned from us. Our language. Our knowledge. Our data. But are you seeing the returns, or just the disruption? We all deserve better!

The barrier between having an idea and reaching a million people has never been smaller. So why are most brilliant ideas still dying in someone's head?

A few days ago I asked A.I. to summarize an article for me. The article was about how speed has become more important than depth. It took me a second to get the irony.

If work feels draining, housing feels impossible, healthcare feels deadly, and debt feels endless… that's not a coincidence. It's our economic operating system working exactly as designed.

You’re not broke because you made bad choices. You’re broke because the system needs you to stay that way. This isn't a conspiracy. It's just "good capitalism."

Everybody's asking "Will A.I. take my job?" but the right question is: “What happens if A.I. actually succeeds?” If A.I. eliminates human labor, who's left to buy anything??
