๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ Two world view: Dark & Light

  • Dark = we are entering economic singularity; zero upward mobility, we are all Fucked.
  • Light = we are entering radical abundance; 100% elimination of material want; we are infinity.

๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ 3 theses for dark

  1. The world is Zero-sum; ignore GTO, winners take all, detach from social and moral signals, wealth has no feelings, just focus on allocation & positioning, consensus are for losers. Practical investment strategies: geopolitical arbitrage (Kindness, virtues, freedom are for losers), invest in less savory places
  2. War needs kinetic energy; force projection beats intellectual elegance. Lawrence Tao can't win a street fight in the ghetto. Go after dual-use and military-aligned builders. Practical investment strategies: defense tech, Autonomous systems, government cronies
  3. Back to the stone age; assume the worst (the dark age), anything that's the base layer of civilization is valuable. Practical investment strategies: energy producer, rare earth mining/processing, grid infra, large scale industrial farming.

๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ 3 theses for light

  1. Economic value ladder holds: agrarian โ†’ industrial โ†’ knowledge โ†’ services โ†’ Experiential. AI takes away all tasks; demand for high-touch human experiences. Drivers: aging boomers hold 70% of wealth, concentrated capital per child, mobility and global relocation. Investment strategies: longevity, retirement experience design (not a place where you go to die, but a place you go for 20 years of blissful vacation). Hyper-bespoked education, lifestyle arbitrage (trade your US middle class lifestyle for an upper class residency in Thailand). High-touch mentorship (20 students to 1 teacher โ†’ 1 student 20 mentors)
  2. โ†’ Experiential โ†’ Transformational. AI replaces all roles, but does not eliminate identity. Assume all traditional intuitions need to die; no more colleges, just new class of business that focus on transformation. Vocational training were for GED losers, not Harvard grads can apply for re-skilling platforms, personal reinvention systems. Core belief: AI automates competence. It does not automate the meaning of life.
  3. "So long, thanks for all the fish"... If spacex will have 1 TW data centers, 1 million geo-synced sats, 100 Colossus supercomputers, and space origin will build a "Marriott resort" on the moon, then space exploration, advanced manufacturing, planetary engineering will play a huge role. So, space is the final frontierโ€ฆ let's seek out new life, new civilizations, and to boldly go where no man has gone before. Investment : go after 2nd / 3rd order industries before the 1 starship / hour launch happens.

๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ Both dark & light assume: acceleration, asymmetric outcomes, death of priors; vacuum needs new equilibrium. The golden age of optimism is dead, but the hope is 10x stronger.

  • ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ let's start w/ 3 core thesis. What are yours?
