    The Biggest US Cash Study Came Back With Nothing

    The largest US cash experiment returned a big fat zero on measurable child outcomes. Dalton Conley tells Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave the American dream only worked because WWII obliterated every competitor. The 1960s negative income tax kept people unemployed longer and increased divorce. AI leaders dropped the jobs apocalypse narrative once it scared people. A MAGA-Bernie coalition might be the only path left — but 11% of the US population can theoretically block it in the Senate.

    Robots, Free Housing, and the Death of Money — with Chris Remboldt (Full)

    Forty percent of Americans are one paycheck from crisis — and Chris Remboldt says that's shareholder capitalism deliberately optimizing stock price over human welfare. Post-money means real wealth is time, energy, and atoms. He tells Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley that UBI is a dead end, ad-supported free housing and food arrive in 10-15 years, and a self-replicating Von Neumann fleet lands in four years. Dave pushes back on who actually owns the AI making all of this possible.

    The Fed's new chair wants to strip "outlier" prices from the CPI calculation — right when prices are the highest they've been in years. 4.2% inflation is additive: it stacks on last year's, and Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley say rewriting the formula isn't the same as fixing it. Gold and silver just printed a weekly double top after running from $1,700 to near $5,000 an ounce — Jerremy called the reversal in April. The SpaceX IPO at $1.7 trillion — the largest in human history — already pulled 8% out of the QQQ as institutional funds liquidate positions to buy in. In a K-shape economy, the sleeper play isn't chips: it's TJ Maxx, Dollar General, and Five Below. (00:00) Fed's redefining inflation math — not fixing the actual prices(03:20) "Transitory" is back — Dave explains why it's still a lie(05:07) Gold and silver double top Jerremy flagged back in April(06:18) Energy ETF compressed since March — big directional move loading(07:19) SpaceX IPO pulling 8% out of QQQ as funds liquidate(08:52) $1.7 trillion — the largest IPO in human history, visualized(10:59) Lock-up vesting and brain drain — Dave's AOL experience applied to SpaceX(13:09) Sam Altman's sovereign wealth pitch on Capitol Hill for AI stocks(14:45) K-shape economy plays — why TJ Maxx and Five Below are scorching 🌍 Connect with us: Instagram | YouTube | X

    Superintelligence Is Already Here. The Robot Fleet Lands in Four Years.

    Chris Remboldt says superintelligence is already here and a self-replicating Von Neumann robot fleet arrives in four years. He predicts AI companies will quietly replace broken institutions because regulated industries can never reform themselves from inside. Dave pushes back hard: Big AI strip-mined decades of collective intellectual capital for free, and the robots should hit Liberia before the Tesla factory. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley close out with a final verdict — AI is a dumpster fire for another decade, and MrBeast already proved it.

    Starting at Negative 100: Why Help Isn't Coming for You

    Most people aren't starting at zero — they're at negative 100, and Chris Remboldt says the first move is giving up the belief that help is coming. He tells Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley that UBI "makes him think of the DMV" and that in 10-15 years food and housing are free — ad-supported. Labor is a terrible foundation for human dignity. The best mind-virus architect wins every election. Timestamps: (00:00) Negative 100 – people starting in the hole don't have the luxury of optimism(01:28) The calibration problem – why nobody is coming to save you first(02:49) The floor has never been higher – but addiction is the real modern crisis(04:43) Short-form video is the addiction – more pervasive than anything else(06:20) Labor and dignity – why your job title is a terrible identity foundation(07:29) Your hero's journey – where are you in your own mythology(08:38) The infinite money glitch – Elon's robot thesis and when the fleet arrives(10:54) UBI is a horseshoe – on a horse we're about to stop riding(12:37) Free housing, free food — with ads – the 10-15 year window(15:21) Human-made becomes luxury – once machines make everything else(17:23) Mind-virus architect wins – the real power dynamic in every election(20:09) Two hours beats eight – Alpha School's gamified curriculum explained Connect: Chris Remboldt – LinkedIn | X 🌍 Connect with us: Instagram | YouTube | X

    Shareholder Capitalism Broke the Deal. AI Has a Four-Year Fix.

    Shareholder charters legally force companies to prioritize quarterly stock prices over mission — and Chris Remboldt says that's the engine behind a generation priced out of owning anything. Post-money isn't a utopia pitch: it's a recognition that real wealth is time, energy, and atoms. Chris tells Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley that a stay-at-home mom can now ship a product with AI that used to require a 10-person tech company. The old deal isn't dead. It's sick.

    Ron Lynch on UBI, the Surveillance State, and Who Owns You (Full)

    Ron Lynch moved $6 billion in consumer sales, made four films, and called Spielberg from a grocery store basement at 23. He says UBI doesn't hand out income — it hands out outcome, and outcome without effort is a cage. Alaska's $1,700 annual checks prove nothing; the realistic number is $30K, and at that level you buy complacency — and when a neighbor dies, their check redistributes. Plantations ran on UBI. The surveillance stack to enforce it — Palantir, IDEMIA, Allied Universal — is already built and waiting. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley pull every thread for an hour. Timestamps: (00:00) $15K monthly government check – free money or slow ownership?(01:25) Grocery clerk at 23 – calls Spielberg from the basement, gets in(04:59) $150 in art supplies – the path to a million-dollar painting(07:07) Purpose destroyed – Ron's one-sentence verdict on UBI's real cost(09:16) Rice, not Lunchables – why TeleHelp chose limitation over comfort(10:52) Alaska's $1,700 check – why it proves nothing about real UBI(14:28) $30K and complacency – the real number and what it actually buys(16:47) Tribal math – your death doubles someone else's UBI payment(19:16) Palantir, IDEMIA, Allied Universal – the stack already watching you(22:11) No middle class – feudalism returns, and it comes with Wi-Fi(24:38) Tiny homes, shared kitchens – Ron's word for them is cages(27:45) Manifesto for a Modern Millennium – Ron's update to Common Sense(28:54) Three to five hours – the only time humans ever needed to survive(31:55) Not the check, the chain – Ron's one-line verdict on UBI(32:08) Photo albums hit the table – every phone disappeared instantly(33:28) Freedom vs liberty – ability to choose versus actually doing it(43:24) Netflix disrupted at $5K – what happens when anyone makes films(46:32) $1 movies, blockchain – the creator studio with no corporations(47:44) One film funds the dynasty – some kid's future built on one story(48:58) Make the case for UBI – Dave asks, Ron's answer lands hard(49:28) Plantations ran on UBI – if you love slavery, love this policy(50:08) Which dystopia are we – lightning round picks the film we're in(50:35) Bible outside of time – not predictive, told from a different vantage(55:30) Last thing to trust – not the government with your income(56:03) UBI vs communism – Ron's verdict is worse, not equal(56:48) AI won't create jobs – Ron says that's a human responsibility(59:10) Is purpose chained to a paycheck – Dave's final pushback on Ron Connect: Ron Lynch – Website | Trust Me | The Prismic | Substack 🌍 Connect with us: Instagram | YouTube | X

    Blockchain Studios at $5K and Why UBI Is Worse Than Communism

    UBI isn't communism — it's worse, and the strongest case for it ends with one word: slavery. Ron Lynch says in five years you'll produce a feature film for $5,000 using AI tools and four photos — blockchain kills the studio middleman, $1 admissions split 50/50 with creators, and some random kid funds his family's entire dynasty off one film. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley run the lightning round: which dystopian film we're already in, whether the Bible is predictive or retrospective, and why AI won't create jobs — that's a human responsibility. Dave pushes back on whether purpose is really chained to a paycheck. Ron's final word is a story about one person who proved it isn't. Timestamps: (00:12) Netflix disrupted at $5K – what happens when anyone makes films(03:10) $1 movies, no corporations – Ron's blockchain creator studio model(04:38) One film funds the dynasty – some kid pays for his family's future(05:30) Make the case for UBI – Dave asks, Ron's answer surprises(06:10) Plantations ran on UBI – if you love slavery, love this(07:00) Which dystopia are we building – lightning round picks the film(07:30) Bible isn't predictive – Ron says it's told from outside time(12:18) Last thing to trust – not the government with your income(12:59) UBI vs communism – Ron says UBI is worse, not equal(13:42) AI won't create jobs – Ron says that's a human responsibility(16:03) Purpose chained to a paycheck – Dave's pushback on Ron's core claim(19:09) Ron's final word – one story that proves any of us can Connect: Ron Lynch – Website | Trust Me | The Prismic | Substack 🌍 Connect with us: Instagram | YouTube | X
