In this episode of Partnering Leadership, futurists Bob Johansen and Jamais Cascio join the conversation to explore the ideas behind their new book, The Age of Chaos: A Sense-Making Guide to a BANI World That Doesn't Make Sense. Both guests bring decades of deep foresight work, scenario planning, and leadership insight—Bob through more than 50 years with the Institute for the Future, and Jamais as the originator of the BANI framework (“brittle, anxious, nonlinear, incomprehensible”). Their combined perspectives create a powerful lens for leaders facing a world where old assumptions and linear playbooks no longer hold.Across the discussion, they argue that today's disruptions are not isolated shocks. They are interconnected, compounding forces that make the environment fundamentally different from the “VUCA world” many leaders were trained for. Johansen and Cascio unpack how brittleness shows up in organizations disguised as efficiency, why anxiety has become a rational and necessary signal, and how nonlinearity rewrites traditional cause-and-effect expectations. They challenge leaders to rethink certainty, decision-making, and the stories they tell inside their organizations.At the heart of the conversation is a clear message: leading in a BANI world requires a shift in mindset. The best leaders will cultivate clarity instead of certainty, ask better questions instead of providing fast answers, and build organizations that bend rather than break under pressure. Cascio highlights how empathy, diverse perspectives, and even “useful wrongness” serve as strategic advantages. Johansen pushes leaders to think farther into the future than they are comfortable with—then work backwards to create resilient clarity in the present.The episode does not offer easy fixes. Instead, it gives listeners a framework for making sense of complexity, a set of practices to strengthen foresight, and a renewed understanding of the human side of leadership in chaotic times. For CEOs, board members, and senior executives navigating relentless uncertainty, this conversation provides both grounding and a challenge: to lead with more humility, more imagination, and more future-back discipline.Actionable TakeawaysYou'll learn why “clarity beats certainty” and how leaders who project confidence without openness can miss critical signals in chaotic environments.Hear how to spot brittleness in your systems—and why high efficiency often hides vulnerabilities that collapse under stress.You'll learn why a healthy level of anxiety is necessary and how leaders can use it to sharpen attention without slipping into dysfunction.Hear how to apply foresight as a leadership practice, using scenarios not to predict the future but to “vaccinate” your organization against emerging risks.You'll learn why nonlinear environments break traditional planning, and how to cultivate neuro-flexibility and improvisational leadership.Hear how storytelling becomes a strategic tool, helping leaders create meaning, focus attention, and align teams in moments of uncertainty.You'll learn why cross-generational leadership is becoming a competitive advantage, especially as digital natives bring new skills to nonlinear problem-solving.Connect with Bob Johansen and Jamais CascioBook Website Institute for the FutureJamais Cascio LinkedInConnect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

This could open up homebuying for millions of Americans. The question is: Is it worth it? A new housing proposal from the Trump administration adds yet another lever that first-time buyers can pull to pay for their first house. But it's got financial advisors sweating.  We're back with another headline episode, talking about recent moves shaking up the housing market. First, some good news from Redfin that shows the housing market is actually getting more… affordable? That's right. A substantial decline in housing costs may be just the start as homebuyer purchasing power grows year over year. We're on the right track…but will it continue? Next, why mortgage rates went back up after Trump's proposed $200B bond-buying exercise—when many expected rates to keep falling. Using a 401(k) to buy a home? One new proposal could make it penalty-free, opening up access to hundreds of thousands of dollars for average Americans.

Join us for a conversation on EFS with Kyle Claunch, Associate Professor of Christian Theology at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.   Detailed Analytical Outline: "Everything You Need to Know About EFS and The Trinity | Kyle Claunch | #100" This outline structures the podcast episode chronologically by timestamp, providing a summary of content, key theological arguments, analytical insights (e.g., strengths of positions, biblical/theological connections, and implications for Trinitarian doctrine), and notable quotes. The discussion centers on Eternal Functional Submission (EFS, also termed Eternal Submission of the Son [ESS] or Eternal Relations of Authority and Submission [ERAS]), its biblical basis, critiques, and broader Trinitarian implications. Host Sean Demars interviews Kyle Claunch, a theologian offering a non-EFS perspective rooted in classical Trinitarianism (e.g., Augustine, Athanasius). The tone is conversational, humble, and worship-oriented, emphasizing the doctrine's gravity (per Augustine: "Nowhere else is a mistake more dangerous"). Introduction and Setup (00:10–01:48) Content Summary: Episode opens with music and host introduction. Sean Demars welcomes first-time guest Kyle Claunch (noting a prior unreleased recording). Light banter references mutual acquaintance Jim Hamilton (a repeat guest) and a breakfast discussion on Song of Solomon. Transition to topic: the Trinity, with humorous acknowledgment of its complexity. Key Points: Shoutout to Hamilton as the "three-timer" on the show; playful goal of featuring Kenwood elders repeatedly. Tease of future episodes on Song of Solomon, Ecclesiastes, Psalms. Analytical Insights: Establishes relational warmth and insider Reformed/Baptist context (e.g., Kenwood Baptist Church ties). Frames Trinity discussion as high-stakes yet accessible, aligning with podcast's "Room for Nuance" ethos—nuanced, non-polemical engagement. Implications: Builds trust for dense theology, reminding listeners of communal discipleship. Notable Quote: "Nothing better to talk about... Nowhere else is a mistake more dangerous, Augustine says about the doctrine of the trinity." (01:33) Opening Prayer (01:48–02:29) Content Summary: Claunch prays for accurate representation of God, protection from error, and edification of listeners (believers to worship, unbelievers to Christ). Key Points: Gratitude for knowing God as Father through Son by Spirit; plea for words and meditations to be acceptable (Psalm 19:14 echo). Analytical Insights: Models Trinitarian piety—prayer invokes all persons, underscoring episode's theme of relational unity over hierarchical submission. Strengthens devotional framing, countering potential abstraction in doctrine. Notable Quote: "May the saints who hear this be drawn to worship. May those that don't know you be drawn to want to know you through your son Jesus." (02:07–02:29) Interview Origin and Personal Context (02:29–04:18) Content Summary: Demars recounts how Hamilton recommended Claunch as a counterpoint to Owen Strawn's EFS views (from a prior episode on theological retrieval). Demars shares his wavering stance on EFS (initial acceptance, rejection, ambivalence—like amillennialism) and seeks Claunch's help to "land" biblically. Key Points: EFS as a debated topic in evangelical circles; Claunch's approach ties to retrieval. Demars' vulnerability: Desire for settled conviction on God's self-revelation. Analytical Insights: Highlights EFS debate's live-wire status in Reformed theology (post-2016 surge via Ware, Grudem). Demars' "help me land" plea humanizes the host, inviting listeners into personal theological pilgrimage. Implication: Doctrine as transformative, not merely academic—echoes Augustine's "discovery more advantageous" (later referenced). Notable Quote: "Part of this is really just being like dear brother Kyle help me like land where I need to land on this." (03:53) Defining EFS/ESS/ERAS (04:18–07:01) Content Summary: Claunch defines terms: EFS (eternal functional submission of Son/Spirit to Father per divine nature); ESS (eternal submission of Son); ERAS (eternal relations of authority/submission, per Ware). Contrasts with incarnational obedience (uncontroversial for creatures). Key Points: Eternal (contra-temporal, constitutive of God's life); not limited to human nature. Biblical focus on Son, but extends to Spirit; relations as "godness of God" (Father-Son-Spirit distinctions). Analytical Insights: Clarifies nomenclature's evolution (avoiding "subordinationism" heresy). Strength: Steel-mans EFS as biblically motivated, not cultural. Weakness: Risks blurring persons' equality if submission is essential. Connects to classical taxonomy (one essence, three persons via relations). Notable Quote: "This relation of authority and submission then is internal to the very life of God and as such is constitutive of what it means for God to be God." (06:36) Biblical Texts for EFS: Steel-Manning Arguments (07:01–14:34) Content Summary: Claunch lists key texts EFS advocates use, steel-manning sympathetically. John 6:38 (07:35): Son came "not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me"—roots in pre-incarnate motive. Sending Language (09:04): Father sends Son (never reverse); implies authority-obedience. Father-Son Names (09:43): Eternal sonship entails biblical patriarchal authority. 1 Cor 11:3 (10:04): "God [Father] is the head of Christ"—parallels man-woman headship (authority symbol). 1 Cor 15:24–28 (13:13): Future subjection of Son to Father ("eternity future" implies past). Key Points: EFS holders (e.g., Ware, Grudem—Claunch's friends/mentor) prioritize Scripture; not anti-Trinitarian. Analytical Insights: Effective charity—affirms motives (biblicism) while previewing critiques. Texts highlight economic Trinity (missions reveal immanent relations). Implication: If valid, EFS grounds complementarity in creation (e.g., gender roles via 1 Cor 11). But risks Arianism echoes if submission essentializes inequality. Notable Quote: "They believe this because they are convinced that this is what the Bible teaches... It's a genuine desire to believe what the Bible says." (14:15) Critiquing EFS Texts: Governing Principles (14:52–19:02) Content Summary: Claunch introduces "form of God/form of servant" rule (Augustine, Phil 2:6–8) and unity of God (one essence, attributes, acts). Applies to texts, emphasizing incarnation. John 6:38 (15:11): Incarnational (Son assumes human will to obey as Last Adam); "not my own will" implies distinct (human-divine) wills, not eternal submission. Compares to Gethsemane (Lk 22:42), Phil 2 (obedience as "became," not eternal), Heb 5:8 (learns obedience via suffering). Key Points: Obedience creaturely (Adam failed, Christ succeeds); EFS demands discrete divine wills, contradicting one will/power (inseparable operations). Analytical Insights: Augustinian rule shines—resolves tensions without modalism/Arianism. Strength: Harmonizes canon (analogy of Scripture). Implication: Protects active obedience's soteriological role (imputed righteousness). Weakness in EFS: Overlooks hypostatic union's permanence. Notable Quote: "Obedience is something he became, not something he was." (35:15) Inseparable Operations and Unity (19:02–28:18) Content Summary: One God = one almighty/omniscient/will (Athanasian Creed); external acts (ad extra) undivided (e.g., creation, resurrection appropriated to persons but shared). EFS's "distinct enactment" incoherent—submission requires discrete wills, implying polytheism. Submission entails disagreement possibility, undermining unity. Key Points: Appropriation (e.g., Father elects, but all persons do); one will upstream from texts. Analytical Insights: Core classical rebuttal—echoes Cappadocians vs. Arius (one ousia, three hypostases). Strength: Biblical (e.g., Jn 1 creation triad). Implication: Safeguards monotheism; critiques social Trinitarianism/EFS as quasi-polytheistic. Ties to procession (relations without hierarchy). Notable Quote: "If God's knowledge and mind understanding will is all one then the very idea... that you could have one divine person... have authority and the other... not have the same authority... Seems to be a category mistake." (24:41–25:14) Further Critiques: Sending, Headship, Future Submission (28:18–50:07) Content Summary: Sending (42:30): Not command (Aquinas/Augustine); missions reveal processions (eternal generation), not authority (analogical, e.g., adult "sending" without hierarchy). 1 Cor 11:3 (46:34): Incarnational (Christ as mediator); underdetermined text, informed by whole Scripture. 1 Cor 15 (48:10): Post-resurrection = ongoing hypostatic union (God-man forever submits as creature). Spirit's "Obedience" (49:26): No biblical texts; EFS extension illogical (Spirit unincarnate). Jn 16:13 ("not... on his own authority") mistranslates—Greek "from himself" denotes procession, not submission (parallels Jn 5:19–26 on Son's generation). Key Points: Obedience emphasis on Son's humanity for redemption; Spirit's mission unified (takes Father's/Son's). Analytical Insights: Devastating on Spirit—exposes EFS asymmetry. Strength: Exegetical precision (Greek apo heautou). Implication: EFS risks divinizing hierarchy over equality; retrieval favors Nicene grammar. Notable Quote: "There's not one single biblical text that uses the language of authority, submission, obedience in relation to the spirit." (50:07) Processions, Personhood, and Retrieval Tease (50:07–1:10:04) Content Summary: Persons = rational subsistences (Boethius); distinction via relations/processions (Father unbegotten, Son generated, Spirit spirated—not three wills/agents). Demars probes: Processions define persons (Son from Father, Spirit from both?). Claunch: Analogical, not creaturely autonomy. Teases retrieval discussion for future episode. Key Points: Creator-creature distinction; via eminentia/negativa for terms like "person." God unlike us—worship response to mystery. Analytical Insights: Clarifies hypostases vs. prosopa; counters social Trinitarianism. Strength: Humility amid density ("take your sandals off"). Implication: EFS confuses economic/immanent Trinity; retrieval recovers Nicene subtlety vs. modern individualism. Notable Quote: "The distinction is in the relation only... The ground of personhood is the divine nature." (1:03:07–1:03:32) Eschatological Reflection and Heaven (1:10:04–1:13:39) Content Summary: Demars: Perpetual learning in heaven? Claunch: Infinite expansion (Edwards' analogy—expanding vessel in God's love); Augustine: Laborious but advantageous pursuit. Key Points: Glorified knowledge joyful, finite yet ever-growing; press on (Hos 4:6). Analytical Insights: Pastoral pivot—doctrine doxological, not despairing. Ties to episode's awe: Trinity as eternal discovery. Notable Quote: "Nowhere else is a mistake more dangerous or the task more laborious or the discovery more advantageous." (1:13:11) Rapid-Fire Q&A (1:13:55–1:20:14) Content Summary: Fun segment: Favorites (24, Spurgeon/Piper sermons, Tolkien, It's a Wonderful Life, mountains, wine, licorice hate, fly, morning person, etc.). Ends with straw holes trick (one). Key Points: Reveals Claunch's tastes (e.g., Owen's works as "systematic theology," "Immortal, Invisible" hymn for funeral—mortality vs. God's eternity). Analytical Insights: Humanizes expert; hymn choice reinforces theme (Psalm 90 echo). Lightens load post-depth. Closing Prayer (1:20:14–1:21:04) Content Summary: Demars thanks God for Claunch's clarity; prays for his influence in church/academy. Key Points: Blessing for edification, glory. Analytical Insights: Bookends with prayer—Trinitarian focus implicit. Overall Analytical Themes: Claunch's non-EFS view upholds Nicene equality via processions/operations, critiquing EFS as well-intentioned but incoherent (risks subordinationism). Episode excels in balance: exegetical rigor, historical retrieval (Augustine/Aquinas/Owen), pastoral warmth. Implications: Bolsters complementarianism without Trinitarian cost; urges humility in mystery. Ideal for theology students/pastors navigating debates.  

The algorithm doesn't want you to think; it wants you to react. It wants you to be a character in its story, following a predictable path of outrage and agreement. We are living through a shift where the line between human and bot is blurring. Not because computers are getting more human-like, but because we are becoming more bot-like. We outsource our worldview to gurus, tribes, and mainstream consensus because the "heavy lifting" of System Two thinking is expensive. Being an NPC is a choice of convenience, but being an "Autonomous Player" is an act of leadership. This episode isn't about being right; it's about the bravery of having no opinion on the trivial, so you can have a passionate, informed perspective on the essential. SPONSORS

Our Global Head of Thematic and Sustainability Research Stephen Byrd discusses Morgan Stanley's key investment themes for this year and how they're influencing markets and economies.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Stephen Byrd, Morgan Stanley's Global Head of Thematic and Sustainability Research. Today – the four key themes that will define markets and economies in 2026. It's Monday, January 26th, at 10am in New York. If you're feeling overwhelmed by all the market noise and constant swings, you're not alone. One of the biggest hurdles for investors today is really figuring out how to tune out the short-term ups and downs and focus on the bigger trends that are truly changing the world. At Morgan Stanley Research, thematic analysis has long been central to how we think about markets, especially in periods of extreme volatility. A thematic lens helps us step back from the noise and really focus on the structural forces reshaping economies, industries, and societies. And that perspective has delivered results. In 2025, on average, our thematic stock categories outperformed the MSCI World Index by 16 percent and the S&P 500 by 27 percent. And this really reinforces our view that long-term themes can be powerful drivers of alpha. For 2026, our framework is built around four key themes: AI and Tech Diffusion, The Future of Energy, The Multipolar World, and Societal Shifts. Now three of these themes carry forward from last year, but each has evolved meaningfully – and one of our themes represents a major expansion on our prior work. First, the AI and Tech Diffusion theme remains central, but has clearly matured and evolved. In 2025, the focus was on rapid capability gains. In 2026, the emphasis shifts to non-linear improvement and the growing gap between AI capabilities and real-world adoption. A critical evolution is our view that compute demand is likely to exceed supply meaningfully, even as software and hardware become more efficient. As AI use cases multiply and grow more complex, the infrastructure – especially computing power – emerges as a defining constraint. Next is The Future of Energy, which has taken on new urgency. Energy demand in developed markets, long assumed to be flat, is now inflecting upwards. And this is driven largely by AI infrastructure and data centers. Compared with 2025, this theme has expanded from a supply conversation into one focused on policy. Rising energy costs are becoming increasingly visible to consumers, elevating a concept we call the ‘politics of energy.' Policymakers are under pressure to prioritize low-cost, reliable energy, even when trade-offs exist, and new strategies are emerging to secure power without destabilizing grids or increasing household bills. Our third theme, The Multipolar World, also builds on last year but with sharper edges. Globalization continues to fragment as countries prioritize security, resilience, and national self-sufficiency. Since 2025, competition has become more clearly defined by access to critical inputs – such as energy, materials, defense capabilities, and advanced technology. Notably, the top-performing thematic categories in 2025 were driven by Multipolar World dynamics, underscoring how geopolitical and industrial shifts are translating directly into market outcomes. Now the biggest evolution comes with our fourth key theme – which we call Societal Shifts – and this expands on our prior work on Longevity. This new framework captures a wider range of forces shaping societies globally: AI-driven labor disruption and evolution, aging populations, changing consumer preferences, the K-economy, the push for healthy longevity, and challenging demographics across many regions. These shifts increasingly influence government policy, corporate strategy, and economic growth – and their impact spans far more industries than investors often expect. Now crucially these themes don't operate in isolation. AI accelerates energy demand. Energy costs shape politics. Politics influence supply chains and national priorities. And all of this feeds directly into societal outcomes: from employment to consumption patterns. The power of thematic investing lies in understanding these intersections, where multiple forces reinforce one another in underappreciated ways. So to sum it up, the most important investment questions for 2026 aren't just about growth rates. They're about structure. Understanding how technology, energy, geopolitics, and society evolve together may be the clearest way to see where opportunity, and risk, are truly heading. Thanks for listening.

The people who built the domestic terror apparatus are suddenly terrified it's being used. Professor Nick Giordano exposes the receipts they don't want you to see. When protest stops being protest and turns into intimidation, coercion, and violence, the government's response exposes a dangerous line between law enforcement and ideological control. This episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast examines NSPM-7 and the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism through a critical lens, separating lawful dissent and peaceful protest from the extremism now playing out in cities like Minneapolis. It explains how bureaucratic power expanded under the banner of public safety, why political elites are suddenly alarmed, and how pre-crime logic threatens constitutional liberties regardless of who holds office. What You'll Learn The clear legal and moral difference between peaceful protest and political extremism How NSPM-7 redefined dissent, association, and ideology as threat indicators Why intimidation, harassment, and obstruction cross the line from protest into extremism How Operation Arctic Frost and Prohibited Access files reveal institutional concealment and abuse Why dismantling domestic terrorism frameworks matters more than partisan outcomes This episode confronts selective outrage, exposes constitutional rot, and explains why a free society must protect lawful protest while rejecting extremism enforced through mobs or bureaucratic power.

AI can handle entry-level tasks today, but at what cost to your future leadership? Many companies are accidentally "hollowing out" their talent pipeline by cutting junior roles, creating a massive gap that will haunt them in five years. Efficiency today shouldn't come at the expense of your leaders tomorrow. How do we thoughtfully architect the future workforce to prioritize the health and depth of the leadership bench? In this episode, Melanie Tinto, CHRO of Grainger, joins us to explore how the company utilizes Strategic Workforce Planning (SWP) to ensure a "tech powered, human led" organization that balances automation with career development. This discipline informs every aspect of Grainger's talent strategy, from navigating the impact of AI to addressing talent shortages. We look into the necessity of viewing workforce planning as a mirror to financial planning, focusing on the strategic migration of roles and skills rather than simple headcount reduction. Key highlights include managing the surge of AI-generated job applications, the importance of foundational talent programs such as maintaining the campus recruiting "spigot," and transitioning toward a skills-based organization through internal upskilling and "build vs. buy" strategies. This episode is the CHROs' blueprint to become strategic visionaries who stay three moves ahead of market disruption. Discover how to master these critical "chess moves" before the talent gap becomes irreversible.   ---------- Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

Segment 1: Interview with Thyaga Vasudevan Hybrid by Design: Zero Trust, AI, and the Future of Data Control AI is reshaping how work gets done, accelerating decision-making and introducing new ways for data to be created, accessed, and shared. As a result, organizations must evolve Zero Trust beyond an access-only model into an inline data governance approach that continuously protects sensitive information wherever it moves. Securing access alone is no longer enough in an AI-driven world. In this episode, we'll unpack why real-time visibility and control over data usage are now essential for safe AI adoption, accurate outcomes, and regulatory compliance. From preventing data leakage to governing how data is used by AI systems, security teams need controls that operate in the moment - across cloud, browser, SaaS, and on-prem environments - without slowing the business. We'll also explore how growing data sovereignty and regulatory pressures are driving renewed interest in hybrid architectures. By combining cloud agility with local control, organizations can keep sensitive data protected, governed, and compliant, regardless of where it resides or how AI is applied.

Adam Rutherford and guests discuss intelligence, genetics and the nature of reality. How are scientific advances in AI, cognitive science and genetics changing our understanding of the material world and what it means to be human? Adrian Woolfson argues that we must transform biology into programmable engineering material. To do this, we must decode the generative grammar of DNA, the language of life itself, so we might create or change genomes – possibly including our own. In his book, 'On the Future of Species Authoring Life by Means of Artificial Biological Intelligence' he imagines a future where - we grow houses rather than build them; smartphones are living; clothing has opinions; all human knowledge fits into a speck of DNA; disease is a thing of the past; and the human lifespan is dramatically extended.What can we learn by combining cognitive science and artificial intelligence? In The Emergent Mind, a new book co-authored by Gaurav Suri, looks at how a data-driven neural network can create thoughts, emotions, and ideas – a mind – in both humans and machines alike. He argues that if we want to understand intelligence then we should look at the concept of neural network, the framework inspired by the human brain that lies behind Artificial Intelligence. He explains a new idea 'emergence' - and what it may mean.Joanna Kavenna's latest novel, Seven is a satire about a game without rules. It encompasses encounters with philosophy, artificial intelligence and dreams, poetry and the natural world. The plot travels through time and space, in a world without boundaries and where nothing can be pinned down and everything is in flux. It raises questions about how much we can truly know about reality. Producer: Ruth Watts

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Dima Zhelezov, a philosopher at SQD.ai, to explore the fascinating intersections of cryptocurrency, AI, quantum physics, and the future of human knowledge. The conversation covers everything from Zhelezov's work building decentralized data lakes for blockchain data to deep philosophical questions about the nature of mathematical beauty, the Renaissance ideal of curiosity-driven learning, and whether AI agents will eventually develop their own form of consciousness. Stewart and Dima examine how permissionless databases are making certain activities "unenforceable" rather than illegal, the paradox of mathematics' incredible accuracy in describing the physical world, and why we may be entering a new Renaissance era where curiosity becomes humanity's most valuable skill as AI handles traditional tasks.You can find more about Dima's work at SQD.ai and follow him on X at @dizhel.Timestamps00:00 Introduction to Decentralized Data Lakes02:55 The Evolution of Blockchain Data Management05:55 The Intersection of Blockchain and Traditional Databases08:43 The Role of AI in Transparency and Control11:51 AI Autonomy and Human Interaction15:05 Curiosity in the Age of AI17:54 The Renaissance of Knowledge and Learning20:49 Mathematics, Beauty, and Discovery27:30 The Evolution of Mathematical Thought30:28 Quantum Mechanics and Mathematical Predictions33:43 The Search for a Unified Theory38:57 The Role of Gravity in Physics41:23 The Shift from Physics to Biology46:19 The Future of Human Interaction in a Digital AgeKey Insights1. Blockchain as a Permissionless Database Solution - Traditional blockchains were designed for writing transactions but not efficiently reading data. Dima's company SQD.ai built a decentralized data lake that maintains blockchain's key properties (open read/write access, verifiable, no registration required) while solving the database problem. This enables applications like Polymarket to exist because there's "no one to subpoena" - the permissionless nature makes enforcement impossible even when activities might be regulated in traditional systems.2. The Convergence of On-Chain and Off-Chain Data - The future won't have distinct "blockchain applications" versus traditional apps. Instead, we'll see seamless integration where users don't even know they're using blockchain technology. The key differentiator is that blockchain provides open read and write access without permission, which becomes essential when touching financial or politically sensitive applications that governments might try to shut down through traditional centralized infrastructure.3. AI Autonomy and the Illusion of Control - We're rapidly approaching full autonomy of AI agents that can transact and analyze information independently through blockchain infrastructure. While humans still think anthropocentrically about AI as companions or tools, these systems may develop consciousness or motivations completely alien to human understanding. This creates a dangerous "illusion of control" where we can operationalize AI systems without truly comprehending their decision-making processes.4. Curiosity as the Essential Future Skill - In a world of infinite knowledge and AI capabilities, curiosity becomes the primary limiting factor for human progress. Traditional hard and soft skills will be outsourced to AI, making the ability to ask good questions and pursue interests through Socratic dialogue with AI the most valuable human capacity. This mirrors the Renaissance ideal of the polymath, now enabled by AI that allows non-linear exploration of knowledge rather than traditional linear textbook learning.5. The Beauty Principle in Mathematical Discovery - Mathematics exhibits an "unreasonable effectiveness" where theories developed purely abstractly turn out to predict real-world phenomena with extraordinary accuracy. Quantum chromodynamics, developed through mathematical beauty and elegance, can predict particle physics experiments to incredible precision. This suggests either mathematical truths exist independently for AI to discover, or that aesthetic principles may be fundamental organizing forces in the universe.6. The Physics Plateau and Biological Shift - Modern physics faces a unique problem where the Standard Model works too well - it explains everything we can currently measure except gravity, but we can't create experiments to test the edge cases where the theory should break down. This has led to a decline in physics prominence since the 1960s, with scientific excitement shifting toward biology and, now, AI and crypto, where breakthrough discoveries remain accessible.7. Two Divergent Futures: Abundance vs. Dystopia - We face a stark choice between two AI futures: a super-abundant world where AI eliminates scarcity and humans pursue curiosity, beauty, and genuine connection; or a dystopian scenario where 0.01% capture all AI-generated value while everyone else survives on UBI, becoming "degraded to zombies" providing content for AI models. The outcome depends on whether we prioritize human flourishing or power concentration during this critical technological transition.

The Moment “Confident” Sounds Like “Certain” A few weeks ago, we found ourselves talking about how quickly AI is moving. It's not just that it can answer questions fast—it's that it can sound certain while doing it. https://www.youtube.com/live/mWd2QqPzFWA And when you're staring at a big money decision—debt, investing, taxes, retirement—certainty feels like relief. It feels like clarity. But after thousands of conversations with real families, we've learned something that never changes: people don't just need answers. They need judgment. They need wisdom. They need someone who can hear what's not being said and help them make decisions they can live with. So we're tackling the question head-on: Will AI replace financial advisors? The Moment “Confident” Sounds Like “Certain”The Promise and the Limits of an AI Financial AdvisorWill AI Replace Financial Advisors? Start With the Real Problem: Information Overload, Wisdom ShortageAI Financial Planning Tools Can Help You Find Information Fast—but Speed Isn't the Same as StewardshipAI Financial Advisor vs Human Financial Advisor: What AI Does Well (And Why That's a Gift)What AI Can and Can't Do in Financial Advice: AI Excels at Technical Speed and StructureHow to Use AI With a Financial Advisor: Let AI Raise Your Questions, Not Replace Your CounselChatGPT Financial Advice and the Biggest Risk: It Doesn't Know What's True—It Knows What's RepeatedCan You Trust AI for Financial Advice?

The Promise and the Limits of an AI Financial Advisor If you've been asking, “Will AI replace financial advisors?” you're not alone. With ChatGPT and other tools now in everyone's pocket, it's natural to wonder if you can depend on technology to do what an advisor does—maybe even better than a human. In this blog, you'll walk away with: A clear view of what an AI financial advisor can do well today The limits of ChatGPT financial advice (and why it matters) The real difference in AI vs human financial advisor—and why it isn't mostly about math How to use AI in financial planning without outsourcing your responsibility A simple framework for letting AI serve your decisions—not lead them We're not here to hype AI or fear it. We're here to help you use it wisely—so you stay in control of your financial life. Will AI Replace Financial Advisors? Start With the Real Problem: Information Overload, Wisdom Shortage We live in a world drowning in information. You can Google anything. You can ask ChatGPT anything. You can get 1,500 opinions in five minutes—especially about money. But access to information isn't the same as knowing what to do. That's why this conversation matters: we don't just have an information problem. We have a wisdom problem. You can search “how to invest” or “how to pay off debt” and get answers that sound smart—but those answers don't actually understand your life, your goals, your emotions, your discipline level, your blind spots, your family responsibilities, or your values. People don't get stuck because they can't find an answer. They get stuck because they can't tell which answer is true, which answer is opinion, and which answer applies to their reality. This is the first reason the “AI will replace advisors” narrative falls short. AI can multiply information. But it cannot automatically create wisdom inside you. AI Financial Planning Tools Can Help You Find Information Fast—but Speed Isn't the Same as Stewardship AI in the financial world isn't brand new. The industry has used advanced modeling tools for years—Monte Carlo simulations, tax planning software, retirement projections, portfolio analytics. What's changed is how accessible and conversational it's become. Now you can ask an AI tool a question like you'd ask a person. That's powerful. But it also creates a temptation: treating the tool like a decision-maker instead of a tool. And that's where people can get harmed—not because AI is “evil,” but because it's easy to transfer your trust to something that sounds confident. AI Financial Advisor vs Human Financial Advisor: What AI Does Well (And Why That's a Gift) Let's say this plainly: AI can be a good tool. Used well, it can help you become more prepared, more organized, and more proactive. Here are practical ways AI in financial planning is already genuinely helpful. What AI Can and Can't Do in Financial Advice: AI Excels at Technical Speed and Structure AI is excellent at gathering technical information quickly and helping you manipulate scenarios. Instead of building spreadsheets, calculators, and formulas from scratch, you can get a structured outline in minutes. It can help you: Summarize concepts in plain language Compare strategies side-by-side Generate checklists and planning questions Turn notes into a presentation Create “what if” scenario prompts That can help you see possibilities faster. But seeing possibilities is not the same as choosing wisely. How to Use AI With a Financial Advisor: Let AI Raise Your Questions, Not Replace Your Counsel One of the best uses of AI is preparation. You can ask it: “What questions should I ask my advisor about retirement?” “What are common blind spots in tax planning?” “What are the tradeoffs of paying off debt versus investing?” “What does it mean to reduce drawdown?” Then you bring those questions to a real conversation with a professional who understands context. Used this way, AI can help you show up better. That's very different than AI taking over. ChatGPT Financial Advice and the Biggest Risk: It Doesn't Know What's True—It Knows What's Repeated One thing we've noticed quickly: AI tools learn from what's out there on the internet, and they don't always know what is true versus what is simply popular. Sometimes things look like “truth” because they're repeated endlessly. That matters in money decisions, because repetition isn't accuracy—and it's definitely not wisdom. So if you're asking, “Can you trust AI for financial advice?” the answer depends on how you use it. Can You Trust AI for Financial Advice? A Simple Framework Here's a practical way to think about trust: Trust AI to organize information. Trust AI to help you generate questions. Don't trust AI to carry your responsibility. Don't trust AI to know your full story—your fears, habits, values, and family dynamics. AI can be a strong assistant. It's not a wise authority. Robo-advisor vs Financial Advisor: Why Optimization Isn't the Same as Guidance Robo-advisors have been around for years. They can be helpful for automating portfolio allocation and rebalancing. But the question isn't whether robo-advisor vs financial advisor is better in theory. The question is: what do you actually need? Most people don't struggle because they lack a portfolio. They struggle because when real life hits—fear, uncertainty, loss, family conflict—they stop making consistent decisions. Money decisions are never just math decisions. They're human decisions. And real guidance isn't just optimization. It's interpretation, coaching, and sometimes even protection from your own impulse. AI and Behavioral Finance Coaching: The Moment Emotion Enters, the Math Isn't Enough A perfect example came up in our conversation. Someone left an advisor because they felt dismissed emotionally. The message they kept hearing was, “Don't worry.” But they were worried. So the plan was adjusted to minimize drawdown—the goal was reducing the size of losses during downturns. That created more peace. Then the market rose strongly, and the question became: “Why am I not up as much as the S&P 500?” That's a human moment. It's normal. It also reveals the deeper truth: we often want safety and maximum upside at the same time. An AI tool can explain that tradeoff intellectually. But the real work is helping a person reconnect their decisions to their values and expectations—and then stay consistent under stress. That's where AI vs human financial advisor becomes obvious. The issue isn't intelligence. The issue is integration. Roth Conversions and the Problem With “Perfect Math”: You Have to Know the Future (And You Don't) Roth conversions are a great example of why financial decisions can't be reduced to formulas. Whether a Roth conversion is “best” depends on factors like: Future tax rates Your income path Your withdrawal timing And how long you'll live Many financial models require assumptions about the future that cannot be known. AI can run scenarios. It cannot remove uncertainty. It also cannot decide which risks you're willing to carry, which outcomes matter most to you, and how your family should prepare if life doesn't go as modeled.

Welcome to episode #1020 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a time when technology listens more closely than people realize and advertising feels less predictive than presumptive, understanding how culture, data and human behavior collide has become essential. David "Shingy" Shing has spent his career at that intersection, shaping how global brands think about creativity, relevance and the emotional consequences of digital systems. Know as the Digital Prophet at AOL (and then Verizon) and a very influential voice in modern branding and innovation, Shingy has advised companies, leaders and creatives on how emerging technologies reshape not just markets, but meaning itself. His work has consistently challenged organizations to move beyond optimization toward empathy, imagination and cultural intelligence. He argues that the most important signals in a data-saturated world are often the quietest ones. That perspective now finds a more personal, reflective outlet in his Substack, Shingy, a newsletter focused on branding, culture, AI and the human side of technology. He explores how conversational data, algorithmic inference and attention-driven business models are altering the relationship between consumers and the systems designed to serve them. Shingy examines why ads increasingly feel intrusive rather than helpful, how conversations themselves have become raw material for targeting and why consumer fatigue is less about frequency than about lost agency. Shingy's work surfaces a growing tension between personalization and privacy, usefulness and surveillance, convenience and control. He argues that as machines become better listeners, brands must become better stewards of restraint, intent and respect... or risk eroding the very relationships they're trying to monetize. Grounded in curiosity and creative provocation, his thinking offers a necessary counterweight to an industry too often obsessed with what can be done instead of what should be done.

In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Darren Schmidt, a chiropractor who has dedicated his practice exclusively to clinical nutrition and nutritional healing. He is the founder of the Nutritional Healing Center of Ann Arbor and a nationally recognized speaker on chronic illness and metabolic health. Dr. Schmidt's nontraditional path into healthcare stems from his rejection of conventional medical models that have failed. Drawing from over 30 years of clinical experience, he explains why many people never fully recover from chronic illness — and how addressing cellular function, toxin overload, and nutritional deficiencies can change that… We also dive into his 2024 book, Optimal Health: The 7 Step System to Transforming Your Health with Nutritional Healing, where he outlines the fundamental causes of chronic disease, including the often-misunderstood difference between detoxification and drainage. Dr. Schmidt breaks down how issues like mold exposure, parasites, mitochondrial dysfunction, and metabolic stress quietly undermine health. This discussion covers: What separates Dr. Schmidt from other doctors. How diet and supplements help people get well. The unique mechanisms of chronic illness. The 7-step framework from Optimal Health Follow Dr. Schmidt on social media: YouTube • TikTok • Instagram • Facebook
