While I absolutely love @RealVision and think everyone should be a subscriber to learn about investing and improve their financial future, the Exponentialist is my favorite and more where I belong. This is more for the technologist and trying to figure out what kind of future we
While I spend a lot of time here on macro and crypto, my really deep thinking on technology, AI, energy, robotics etc is what consumes my real thinking time. As always it starts in my research service GMI and spreads into other products and spills into free stuff here on X and

A while back I started tracking the emergence of a new aesthetic, which I call Hallucinatory Realism well here's a wonderful example:

Mindblowing fact in the London Review of Books, in a piece on depopulation by David Runciman: Japan now produces more nappies for incontinent adults than it does for infants so much of the future will be made via the collision of two epic megatrends: falling human population

In my earlier post, I mentioned The Exponentialist on @RealVision. It is a community for people who want a clear view of the decade in front of us as AI, energy, biotech, and robotics rewrite the operating system of the global economy. The next ten years will compress change at

As technological progress converges and accelerates and we move into an exponential world, how we work, invest, communicate, and live will change irrevocably.
What’s stopping you from financial freedom? Your knowledge gap. Mine was. I’ve spent my entire career deep in technology and financial systems. I understood data, processes, logic. I enjoyed studying markets. I thought I was informed. I wasn’t informed enough. Because markets

British people, it's time to lay off Noah now. He went the wrong way, we all make mistakes we must be tolerant with our American friends
Today, I made the mistake of flying from Dublin to Paris via London's Heathrow Airport. This was a remarkably stupid move on my part, given that London, and by extension Heathrow, is located in the failing formerly-developed country known as "the UK". I almost paid dearly for

It is obvious that conservatism as a meaningful worldview and current practice has evaporated from our politics. It doesn't exist any more. From the 1980s onwards, authentic conservatism as it had previously existed was supplanted by a quite different worldview that only

‘Bitcoin turns energy into truth’ must read from @tadtweets 👇
Bitcoin and the Reversal of Entropy On my mind today is Asimov’s short story The Last Question (given to me by a buddy). It ends with the universe dying and a machine, the last remnant of intelligence, whispering, “Let there be light.” The story asks whether entropy, the slow

@BasedJeffBezos @trevormccrt1 A recent essay on intelligence per unit energy, first published in @RaoulGMI's Global Macro Investor: https://t.co/xsrwJpTg0w
In a post-human economy fuelled by AI agents and robots, GDP becomes meaningless so what comes next? in my new essay, I propose an answer. Intelligence output per unit energy is the core metric inside the radically new economic system taking shape now https://t.co/bWzwvE2QeZ

For years I've been writing about the coming post-human economy and now it's starting to bite, and people are starting to wake up. AI agents eat knowledge work. Robots eat physical labour and what we're seeing now is just the start. Enterprise AI adoption is so early, like
