Are we in a bubble? Is that the right question? What is the K-shaped economy and why does it matter?
AI and the Global Economy
Talk of bubbles and supercycles is naive and an unhelpful guide for executives, investors, and policymakers

The Truth Wars project is live on Substack. From "post-truth" 2016, things are worse, not better. What can we do?
I'm new on Substack and loving it after decades of Facebook and LinkedIn slop - check it (and me!) out and like and follow. (Or, hate and comment - either way.)

Man. We on the left need to stand for tolerance and reason. The right has a shit ton of business billionaires throwing money and influence at politics. What Mark said shouldn't be treated as gospel, but we have a bad habit of going after our own. Disagreement is where progress lies bros and sisters.
The replies on here may not be as racist as Twitter, but they damn sure are hateful.
Talk AI: FU, AI sucks go away
Talk Business: Go away
Talk Healthcare: Crickets.
Engagement went from great convos on many topics, to agree with me or you are a nazi fascist
We are forcing posts to X

Mark is right. Bluesky’s not as racist as X, but it’s getting just as hateful.
We need to be smarter than the right (low bar) and less cruel (also low bar). I’m proudly left but if we can’t make space for disagreement, we lose the plot and the platform.
Read more care more.

AI Isn’t the enemy
I’ve seen AI help students learn two years of material in six weeks and catch deadly diseases where doctors are few and hope is thinner.
That’s dignity not dystopia.
I’m far-left. I’m not shilling for corporate America. Let us not give up on a future where AI serves people.

Some friends think supporting AI means you’ve sold out.
Nope. Like you, I believe in human dignity. Not because I trust the people who built it—but because I trust us to reclaim it.
Some of us are in it for justice.
If we step away, the worst people will shape the future alone.

When you read about the slide from democracy to "competitive authoritarianism" in other countries, it's composed of things like this. No big, sudden breaches, the kind that might spark widespread resistance. Just crossing these little lines, one at a time, each one a seemingly small thing ...

Trump is a spin master. His complete capitulation to China being proclaimed a victory. China secured a 90 day reprieve offering nothing other than dropping its reciprocal tariffs.
Problem is this kind of crazy erratic behavior is making countries reposition their economies around alternatives.

Starting my 9th book: Truth Wars.
Truth isn’t just under attack — it’s being carpet-bombed.
State propaganda. Corporate spin. Goebbels-level narrative control 2.0.
Started it in 2016. Shelved it.
Now? It’s time to finish the damn thing.

Where a few live to 120, while millions still die young from diseases we’ve already solved.
AI doesn’t make the world fair.
It makes the world more of whatever it already is.
So what kind of world are we building?

Last week’s tariff hike? Bigger than Smoot-Hawley.
Global trade’s a way bigger chunk of GDP now, so this stuff *hurts*.
Hong Kong tanked 11%—worst since ‘08.
What’s the logic? “Make America richer by making the world poorer.”
That’s not strategy—that’s **mercantilist fan fiction**.
