Eric Weinstein on a World Running Out of Road
Eric Weinstein joins Triggernometry for a sweeping diagnosis of why the world feels like it's losing grip. He argues that our institutions aren't just failing — they're structurally incapable of honesty. And with AI poised to dissolve the capital-labour relationship, the reckoning may arrive before anyone is ready.
This visual guide breaks down Weinstein's dense but rewarding ideas into navigable sections — from the mechanics of institutional capture to a timeline of economic stagnation, and the two phases of AI disruption.
