That was one of the most captivating presentations I’ve seen this year. As someone at the coal face of the bottom of the S curve - it’s validating and I see all of those trends daily. Thank you for sharing this.

What’s interesting about “spending like there is no tomorrow” is my experience volunteering with chronically impoverished people. Incoming volunteers would ask, “if these people are so poor, why do they have a new car?”

And the answer was twofold: 1) there has never been a “future” taught here—when you are struggling for survival, tomorrow doesn’t exist.

And 2) this new car is the one thing that can be owned—it’s an investment—it’s collateral.

The fact that this impoverished mindset is now the mindset of many people who aren’t financially struggling but are struggling with meaning is chilling. And comforting in its community-building.

Interesting talk, side thought: maybe if I die broke I will have an ad-supported funeral.

People fight with their HOAs across the country to keep skeletons up!? Ahhahahahaha I can attest this a very real thing. I can’t believe it’s an epidemic.

“If we can’t see the future why do we continue investing in it.” This is wild. I wasn’t aware there was a growing movement around this idea.
