October 25 Raoul Pal: Four Frameworks, One Code

Why does growth keep slowing? Why does everything feel so expensive? Why do assets keep going up while wages feel flat? And why is AI arriving right now?
They sound like four different questions. Raoul Pal says they have one answer, and this film lays it out: four frameworks built over 21 years of Global Macro Investor (GMI), and the single code underneath them.
The full story is in my new book, The Everything Code (out 3 November): https://lnk.to/everythingcode
THE FOUR FRAMEWORKS
1. The Everything Code. Debt, demographics and liquidity working together to drive asset prices through debasement. Why growth slows, why debt has to be rolled over with ever more liquidity, and how GMI's calls have fared, the ones that worked and the ones that did not.
2. The Exponential Age. Every major technology going exponential at the same time, for the first time in history, each one feeding the others. Energy, compute and intelligence, and an honest look at how fast it is really moving.
3. The Economic Singularity. The point where the economic models of the last 250 years stop working, because the economy accelerates past what our instruments can measure. Raoul's view is around 2030.
4. The Universal Code. The framework underneath the other three. Everything is compute, and four laws (intelligence efficiency, compression, coherence and memetic selection) show up at every scale, from physics and biology to technology, culture and markets. Raoul is clear that this is his thesis: it is on firm ground, and it is not proven.
After the four chapters comes a short section on what to own, in three layers (the token producers, the application layer and the substrate). Then the film zooms all the way out in powers of ten, from quarks to the cosmic web, which looks strikingly like a brain's network of neurons.

October 01 AI Needs Crypto with Ran Neuner
Raoul welcomes back Ran Neuner, co-founder of OnChain Capital, to discuss why Ran believes crypto is entering its first real bull market, driven by genuine product-market fit, growing protocol revenues, tokenization, and an altcoin-led cycle. Ran argues the much bigger opportunity is the convergence of AI agents and blockchain, with potentially billions of agents using crypto rails for always-on transactions. Recorded September 23, 2026.

Raoul Pal welcomes back Richard Galvin, Co-Founder of Digital Asset Capital Management to break down why crypto may be nearing the end of its long, frustrating reset.

September 04 Crypto, Stocks, and Liquidity: The Truth They Won't Tell You | Drinks With Raoul Pal - September 3, 2026
Get those bud lights ready and those Doritos bags open, because it's time for another episode of Drink with Raoul. Raoul Pal cuts through the chaos with an urgent update on what’s really driving the market selloff. He’ll walk you through the broader macro picture, where we are in the business cycle, and what the extended cycle theory tells us about what’s next. This is about zooming out, understanding the structure beneath the surface, and staying focused while others lose their heads. Expect alpha, clarity, and yes... some snobby snacks and wine talk to take the edge off. If you need perspective, you’ll find it here.
