    Duke Mtambo talks with Jakub Simek about his article on "AR Glasses as the Next Convergence Device". Balaji Srinivasan believes that AR glasses will be to this decade, what a smartphone was to the last decade.

  • Daily Balajisms - Sn1: Optimalism vs Maximalism | Ep #011

    Duke Mtambo talks with Jakub Simek about his article on " Optimalism vs Maximalism".

  • Daily Balajisms - Sn1: CCP vs NYT vs BTC | Ep #010

    Duke Mtambo talks with Jakub Simek about his article on "CCP vs NYT vs BTC". Balaji Srinivasan argues that there are three main powers today: Communist Capital, Woke Capital, and Crypto Capital. The Chinese Communist Party demands submission through their hard power of infrastructure and economic dominance, while the Wokes and Bitcoin Maxies push for submission through different forms of soft power. 




    He suggests that while maximalism in any of these three directions is bad, the absence of submission, tolerance, or sovereignty is equally bad. He posits that a healthy balance is needed within the CCP-NYT-BTC triangle to optimize for respect and recognition.

  • Daily Balajisms - Sn1: American Anarchy vs Chinese Control | Ep #009

    Duke Mtambo talks with Jakub Simek about his article on "American Anarchy vs Chinese Control". Balaji Srinivasan presents two possible future scenarios, American Anarchy and Chinese Control, in his book "The Network State". He argues that while China is becoming more authoritarian, the US is moving towards decentralization, driven by forces such as woke capital, the New York Times, and crypto capital. 




    He also suggests that liberal democracies are at risk of falling into either chaos or tyranny, and that countries like Dubai, India, Israel, or Singapore may play a role in mediating between the two extremes.
