About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of AI on the social contract and explores various economic trends and investment strategies.

This week, we discuss why AI is breaking the social contract between public markets and the American people. We deep dive into why only the self-motivated will win the AI era, the $60 trillion wealth transfer from boomers to millennials and Gen Z, the rise of scarce asset trades (Ferraris, Birkins, dinosaur bones), why the Anthropic and OpenAI IPOs at multi-trillion valuations might break markets, why May CPI hitting a 3-year high pushes December hike odds to 70%, why Mythos and quantum risk are overhyped, and where we're putting cash to work in gold, uranium, and pipeline MLPs.
