Code And Council

"Bold ideas. Fast takes. Counsel for your Council that compounds."

Code and Council is a weekly podcast where two synthetic hosts — Jerry and Rachel — unravel the world’s most consequential ideas with rigor, and historical depth. Each episode weaves together landmark interviews, archival research, and expert commentary to examine how power, technology, and human behavior collide across time. From Cold War grand strategy to the rise of neural networks, from investor psychology to the birth of artificial intelligence, Code and Council traces the patterns beneath the headlines. Why did expert systems collapse while connectionism thrived? How did a 1950 policy memo quietly launch the military-industrial era? What does Charles Munger’s worldview reveal about cognition, risk, and systems thinking? This isn’t a podcast about hot takes — it’s about long arcs. Using synthetic narration, Code and Council builds from first principles, linking past and present, theory and application, philosophy and infrastructure. If you're curious about the ideas that build institutions, shape technologies, and define futures, this is your show. Intelligent but accessible, grounded yet uncanny — Code and Council is where strategic history meets machine learning, and where thought itself becomes terrain. codeandcouncil.substack.com

    The Prussian Warning: Clausewitz on Institutional Decay

    In October 1806, the Prussian army—heir to Frederick the Great's victories and Europe's model of military discipline—disintegrated in a single day of combat against Napoleon. Carl von Clausewitz, a young officer who experienced this catastrophe firsthand, spent the rest of his life analyzing how institutions that appear strongest often prove most brittle. This episode examines the Prussian state from its eighteenth-century peak through its twentieth-century dissolution, tracing how the Junker aristocracy's dominance created both military excellence and fatal rigidity. Through Clausewitz's analytical framework, we explore the transformation of substance into ceremony, the isolation of professional expertise from broader society, and the confusion of organizational form with functional capacity. The conversation moves from Frederick the Great's battlefield innovations through the trauma of 1806, the partial reforms that followed, Bismarck's tactical brilliance in preserving aristocratic power within a modernizing Germany, and ultimately to the system's final collapse in two world wars. Throughout, Clausewitz serves as our guide—not as a military theorist offering tactical doctrine, but as an observer of institutional dynamics whose insights about friction, moral forces, and the relationship between war and politics transcend their historical moment. While rooted in eighteenth and nineteenth-century Prussia, the patterns identified here appear across cultures and centuries: the Roman legions' transformation from fighting force to ceremonial guard, the Ming bureaucracy's evolution from meritocratic innovation to literary exercise, the Ottoman Empire's adoption of European military technology while maintaining social structures that prevented its effective use. The episode examines these historical patterns not as predictive templates but as analytical tools for understanding how institutions maintain or lose vitality over time. This is a public episode.

    Green Gold: The Banana Empire—From Steamships to Supermarkets

    This Code and Council episode documentary traces the banana trade from its scrappy beginnings to the present day—an apolitical, deeply reported history of how a single crop transformed companies and countries. Part I follows the rise: Lorenzo Dow Baker’s first cargo, Andrew Preston’s Boston Fruit system, Minor C. Keith’s railways-for-land concessions, United Fruit’s Great White Fleet, and the rivalries with Cuyamel and Standard that forged an oligopoly across the Caribbean basin. We see how labor camps, clinics, scrip, and company towns organized daily life—and how “banana republic” entered the lexicon. Part II tracks the long reconfiguration: the Great Depression and wartime years; the fall of Gros Michel to Panama disease and the turn to Cavendish; the 1934 Costa Rica strike and Honduras 1954; Guatemala’s 1952–54 land reform crisis; hurricanes, scandals, and consolidation into Chiquita, Dole, and Del Monte; European “banana wars”; containerization; and today’s supermarket-driven logistics. Across a century, the business moves from vertical empires to modular networks, while Central American societies absorb enduring legacies in land, labor, infrastructure, and politics. This is the story behind the cheapest fruit in the grocery aisle—and the clock that still governs every green banana. This is a public episode.

    The Last Dynasty: How the Romanovs Fell in Slow Motion

    For three centuries, the Romanov dynasty ruled the largest empire on earth. In 1917, it collapsed in a matter of days. But the real story isn't how quickly it fell—it's how slowly it died. In this episode of Code and Council, we trace sixty years of systemic decay from Alexander II's "Great Reforms" through Nicholas II's abdication. This isn't just the story of a dynasty's end—it's a case study in how well-intentioned but inadequate reforms, rigid ideology, and the inability to adapt to change can destroy even the most seemingly powerful institutions. What we explore: * How Alexander II's emancipation of the serfs created more problems than it solved * The vicious cycle between reform and revolutionary terror * Why rapid industrialization without political adaptation became a powder keg * How Nicholas II's personal failings magnified systemic weaknesses * The role of World War I as the final catalyst for collapse * The brutal execution of the royal family and birth of the Soviet Union Key themes: * The danger of half-measures in times of crisis * How technological change can outpace political institutions * The human cost of failing to adapt to modernity * Why the collapse of one system doesn't guarantee a better replacement From the assassination of Alexander II to the basement in Yekaterinburg, this is the story of how an empire that seemed eternal proved to be achingly fragile. It's a cautionary tale about leadership, legitimacy, and the price of clinging to power while the world transforms around you. This episode includes: * Extended analysis of the "Great Reforms" and their unintended consequences * Primary source quotes from the Romanov family's final months * Connections between 19th-century Russian failures and modern political crises * Discussion of how individual personality traits can shape historical outcomes The Romanov dynasty's fall offers stark lessons about institutional decay, the limits of autocracy, and what happens when reform comes too little, too late. In an age of rapid change and political instability, these aren't just historical curiosities—they're warnings. This is a public episode.

    The Haystack and the Empire: Jack Bogle, the Big Three, and the Shape of Capital:

    From the muddy fields of medieval serfdom to the algorithmic boardrooms of the Big Three, this two-hundred–minute conversation traces the long arc of how wealth and power concentrate, fracture, and reassemble. Jerry and Rachel chart the rise and fall of empires, the command economies of China and Russia, and the global market order that emerged from their collapse and restructuring. At its center is Jack Bogle’s haystack — the index fund that promised ordinary investors a fair shake — and the empire it inadvertently helped build: Vanguard, BlackRock, and State Street as “universal owners” of the modern world. Along the way, they the ripple effects of Soviet collapse, the crypto rebellion, and the looming role of AI in shaping capital itself. It’s a history lesson, a cautionary tale, and a question: can governance ever win against gravity.

    Beyond the Hype - GPT-5, AGI, and the Global Infrastructure Arms Race

    When Sam Altman says he feels "useless" compared to his own creation and compares GPT-5's development to the Manhattan Project, it's time to pay attention. OpenAI just launched what they're calling "PhD-level" AI, but behind the sleek interface lies one of the most audacious—and potentially reckless—infrastructure bets in tech history. In this deep-dive episode, Jerry and Rachel unpack the massive forces reshaping the AI landscape: The Product Revolution: GPT-5 isn't just another model upgrade. With hallucination rates plummeting from 12.9% to just 4.8%, and the ability to seamlessly switch between fast responses and deep reasoning, this represents a fundamental shift from chatbot to digital agent. But is it genuine progress toward AGI, or sophisticated pattern matching dressed up in revolutionary rhetoric? The Infrastructure Arms Race: OpenAI's Project Stargate promises $500 billion in AI infrastructure by 2029—if the money actually exists. While SoftBank's CFO admits fundraising has "bogged down" and no funds have been secured, construction crews are already building data centers in Texas. Meanwhile, Microsoft ($80B), Google, and Amazon are deploying their own massive counter-strategies, each betting hundreds of billions on different visions of the AI-powered future. The Geopolitical Stakes: This isn't just about business anymore. AI infrastructure has become a strategic national asset, with OpenAI's "democratic AI" initiative creating new forms of technological diplomacy—or digital colonialism, depending on your perspective. When a single data center consumes more electricity than entire countries, every infrastructure decision becomes a geopolitical choice. The Sustainability Paradox: Google's revolutionary "demand response" system that flexibly shifts power usage. AWS's industry-leading efficiency metrics. Microsoft's carbon-negative commitments. The biggest tech companies are racing to build the most environmentally responsible way to burn massive amounts of power for AI training and inference. The Manhattan Project Moment: Altman's unusually candid anxiety about feeling like "there are no adults in the room" reflects a genuine tension about the pace of AI development outstripping our ability to understand or control the consequences. Are we building genuinely transformative technology, or are we in the midst of the biggest speculative bubble in tech history? From the technical architecture enabling GPT-5's "real-time router" to the complex debt financing behind Project Stargate, from Nvidia's 80% market dominance to the hyperscalers' custom silicon strategies, this episode breaks down the high-stakes competition that will determine who controls the infrastructure of intelligence itself. The decisions being made right now—about chips, data centers, power grids, and international partnerships—will shape the next decade of technological development and economic competition. Whether you're a developer choosing APIs, an executive planning cloud strategy, or a citizen wondering about AI's societal impact, these infrastructure choices have consequences that extend far beyond Silicon Valley. Key revelations: * Why GPT-5's pricing strategy is triggering a developer ecosystem price war * The real reason behind OpenAI's $11.9 billion CoreWeave partnership * How Google's energy management innovations are reshaping data center approvals * The hidden dependencies that make "sovereign AI" less sovereign than it appears * What Sam Altman's Manhattan Project comparison really means for AI governance Join Jerry and Rachel for an unflinching analysis of the infrastructure arms race that's reshaping technology, geopolitics, and the global economy—and ask yourself: Are we building the foundation for a better future, or the most expensive mistake in human history?Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r1VGwMbsn8 Works cited ChatGPT maker OpenAI launches its fastest and most innovative model GPT 5, CEO Sam Altman says: Users will feel like they're interacting with, accessed August 7, 2025, https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/chatgpt-maker-openai-launches-its-fastest-and-most-innovative-model-gpt-5-ceo-sam-altman-says-users-will-feel-like-theyre-interacting-with/articleshow/123172446.cms With GPT-5, OpenAI Promises Access to PhD-Level' AI Expertise | PCMag, accessed August 7, 2025, https://www.pcmag.com/news/with-gpt-5-openai-promises-access-to-phd-level-ai-expertise OpenAI unveils ChatGPT‑5.
