War is the most entertaining thing humans have ever created, and that's not my opinion, that's physics. From Gilgamesh to the Ukraine-Russia conflict, we have never been able to look away. But something shifted. Social media removed the last bit of friction between the attention war generates and the money it makes, and now every company is going to monetize your fear, your grief, and your moral outrage simultaneously. I don't know if there's a way out. But I think you need to know it's happening. This episode goes deep on why China is actively working to make AI unpopular in the United States, why the college debt bubble was a trillion-dollar trap that locked millennials out of capitalism, and what the Kuma arc in One Piece teaches us about fatherhood, sacrifice, and finding meaning when the world is engineered to break you. If you make it to the end, you'll know why I'm seriously considering buying three robotaxis and why it's also keeping me up at night.
