Jacob Shapiro is joined by Matt Pines, Executive Director of the Bitcoin Policy Institute, to discuss the accelerating convergence of Bitcoin, AI, geopolitics, and energy. Pines argues that technological change is happening faster than existing frameworks can manage, pushing once-fringe ideas into mainstream policy debates. They explore how AI and Bitcoin are straining U.S. infrastructure, particularly the electrical grid, and what this means for national security and economic stability. The discussion also considers the rise of “techno-feudal” elites, political backlash risks, and whether America can maintain an edge against China's state-driven infrastructure build-out. Pines closes with reflections on Bitcoin's rapid rise as both a strategic asset and a test of U.S. policy adaptability.--Timestamps:(00:00) - Introduction(01:33) - The Acceleration of Change(07:16) - Energy Consumption and Infrastructure Challenges(15:24) - Political and Economic Implications(21:35) - US vs China: Technological Race(27:26) - Future of Sovereignty and Power(33:11) - The Future of AI and Techno-Surveillance Capitalism(35:01) - Economic Implications of Universal Basic Income(35:35) - Sci-Fi Futures and Technological Transformations(36:27) - Bitcoin's Role in a Techno-Feudal World(41:25) - Political and Social Reactions to Technological Change(42:58) - The Rapid Evolution of AI and Its Impacts(53:14) - Bitcoin Policy and National Interest(58:38) - Geopolitical and Monetary Challenges Ahead(01:02:45) - Concluding Thoughts and Future Outlook--Referenced in the Show:Bitcoin Policy Institute - https://www.btcpolicy.org--Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Shapiro LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jacob-l-s-a9337416Jacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapJacob Shapiro Substack: jashap.substack.com/subscribe --The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.

The US and China are the world's two most powerful countries, but they have very different visions for the global order. Compare the speeches delivered at the UN General Assembly by Donald Trump and Chinese Premier Li Qiang. The United States wants a unipolar system based on unilateralism, aggression, and hegemony, whereas China wants a multipolar system based on multilateralism, peaceful development, and sovereign equality, centered in the United Nations.

An international relations expert is deeming New Zealand's decision on Palestinian statehood as 'surprising'. Winston Peters confirmed at the UN General Assembly that we won't recognise a Palestinian state right now - as the conditions aren't right. Geopolitical analyst Geoffrey Miller says this decision is out of synch with our international allies, including Australia, the UK and Canada. "And these are states with which New Zealand is quite close with, when it comes to positions on the war in Gaza since October 7th. New Zealand has signed a number of joint statements with Australia and Canada, for example...it's worked very closely with those three."

On 10 August 2025, after a long delay, the yellow metro line was finally inaugurated by PM Modi in Bengaluru. But just a month after the inauguration, long wait times, overcrowding and underutilisation of potential continue to plague the nearly 19 km line that connects RV Road with Bommasandra. The reason? Geopolitics, because of the involvement of a Chinese supplier of rolling stock.In this episode of All Things Policy, Lokendra sits down with Tannmay Kumarr Baid, a junior adjunct scholar with Takshashila, who has examined the geopolitical angle of the yellow metro line in a recently published discussion document co-authored with Pranay Kotasthane, deputy director, Takshashila.

Jacob and Rob reunite after a long break, tracing the threads between a dizzying run of global events and markets that seem strangely calm. Jacob frames the conversation with parallels to the 1920s, questioning whether today's mix of political volatility, speculative fervor, and rapid technological change echoes past cycles of boom and fracture. Alongside Rob's market perspective, he explores AI's slowdown, labor shortages, and the looming electricity crunch, before pulling the discussion toward deeper questions of resilience, innovation, and Bitcoin's place in geopolitics.--Timestamps:(00:00) - Introduction and Welcome(00:37) - Catching Up with Rob(01:12) - Geopolitical and Market Overview(02:16) - Market Sentiment and Fundamentals(07:24) - Historical Comparisons and Economic Patterns(10:59) - Challenges in the Current Market(18:48) - CapEx Cycles and Future Projections(31:32) - Energy Infrastructure and Grid Issues(39:56) - Questioning the Centralized Grid(40:46) - Geopolitics and Energy Access(41:37) - Historical Parallels and Government Intervention(43:20) - The Future of Energy Consumption(48:25) - AI Adoption and Market Expectations(58:30) - Bitcoin and Geopolitical Shifts--Referenced in the Show:--Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Shapiro LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jacob-l-s-a9337416Jacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapJacob Shapiro Substack: jashap.substack.com/subscribe --The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.

Meanwhile, Nepal, Asia's second poorest nation, is a growing battleground for influence between China and India. 1944 BOMBAY DETONATION

The need for collective action has never been greater, but geopolitics, structural changes and diverging preferences mean that existing global governance arrangements, devised at Bretton Woods in the 1940s, are either unravelling or outmoded.

A total of 62% of top Irish companies have adopted AI technologies to support their operations, according to new Deloitte research produced in collaboration with UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School. Adoption is advancing fastest in technology-driven sectors, with 94% of technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) businesses surveyed saying that they use AI. The finding is included in a survey of 115 indigenous, private limited businesses participating in Ireland's Best Managed Companies programme. The top use cases for AI include employee support and internal productivity (28%), operational efficiency and automation (22%), and sales/marketing and customer engagement (15%). Separately, operational process improvements (55%) are the leading innovation priority across companies surveyed. One in three companies (33%) listed the cost of doing business as a top challenge and key strategic focus. This is particularly high in specific industries and sectors, with 41% of family businesses and 51% of companies in the consumer industry citing it as their foremost challenge. Talent acquisition and retention remain high on the agenda, with 23% of companies naming it as a key challenge, and the leading barrier to growth at 28%. When asked about their talent retention strategies, 95% of companies surveyed said they were prioritising the improvement of engagement between employees and management, 78% said they were increasing investment in professional development, while 72% are introducing wellbeing programmes, and 66% are increasing staff compensation. Geopolitical and regulatory challenges were also a significant barrier to growth and a priority area for respondents, with one in four companies (25%) closely monitoring policy changes and trading dynamics. Among the companies in the cohort, 57% of companies report that women make up at least 20% of their C-suite, while 16% have achieved gender balance with 50% or more female representation at this level. However, these figures tend to be lower in STEM-focused sectors. Developing new products and services emerged as the foremost growth strategy, with nearly two-thirds (65%) of companies indicating it will play a key role in their growth plans over the next five years. A total of 55% of respondents expect to grow their business through mergers and acquisitions (M&A), while international expansion and increasing headcount were each cited by 52% of companies. Only 9% of businesses said they would use third-party debt for growth. Over three-quarters (76%) of TMT companies cite M&A as a key growth strategy, and 71% are allocating resources to international expansion to accelerate growth and capture new market opportunities. Private equity-backed businesses are also prioritising international growth, with 57% of PE-backed companies identifying overseas expansion as a strategic focus. Brian Murphy, Lead Partner for Ireland's Best Managed Companies Awards Programme, said: "Rising costs continue to challenge businesses across the board, but Ireland's Best Managed Companies are powering through with remarkable resilience, unstoppable ambition, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. "Innovation is a key theme, and across every industry, launching new products and services is the top growth strategy for the next five years. These companies are not just talking the talk; they're walking the walk, with 62% already harnessing the power of AI to enhance productivity. "Talent acquisition and retention remain tough battles, but the Best Managed Companies are winning by putting their people first; focusing on employee engagement and investing heavily in professional development to boost overall performance. "This survey of Ireland's Best Managed Companies sends a clear message: we must champion our homegrown businesses, fuel their growth, and support their scaling journey to become the next wave of great Irish success stories." This year's winners of the Ireland's Best Managed Companies prog...

This is episode 240 and our swivels to the north - a Great Apostle for Confederation and the pre-Scramble for Africa Geopolitical Omlette. Part of this story is a continuation of the Langalibalele Affair in Natal which had created the perception that the authorities there were unable to cope. This provided an opportunity for Colonial office back in England to consider radical moves like forcing through a Confederation of South African colonies. Throughout the 1870s, Lord Carnarvon the British Secretary of State for the Colonies attempted to unite both the colonies and the Boer Republics into a self-governing — settler self-governing — dominion under the British flag. This was a somewhat grandiose scheme and there's a heady debate amongst historians about why Carnarvon tried to do this. We're going to take a closer look at what was going on internationally and how South Africa factored into this global picture because its part of the story. The concept of a confederated South Africa was obviously opposed by the Boer Republics. More significantly, it was also opposed by the Molteno Administration of the Cape Colony which was the biggest and the richest South African state by far. Liberal humanist historians believe Carnarvon wanted confederation to protect blacks from the colonials - but that's a shallow version of events. It was in Natal where the largest portion of the white population favoured confederation but even there lieutenant Governor Chilly Pine described an ‘apathy and indifference' to the policy by some. John X Merriman who was a member of Molteno's cabinet said “The fact is that the cry for Confederation is purely an extraneous one, born in the brain of Lord Carnarvon, local prejudice and local jealousy tending the other way…” Molteno and his Merriman were focused on infrastructure, work had begun on the Cape Parliamentary buildings in 1874, government funding of education was legislated, and the Molteno Government also established the South African public library system.  Nevertheless, in other circles in South Africa the call for Federation was growing — take the merchants of Port Elizabeth and a large section of English-speaking Natalians for example. With regard to the Port Elizabethans, the easterners as they were known, it was as matter of being dominated by western based politicians — western as in Western Cape just for clarification. Natal had yet to receive responsible government, unlike the Cape. Given the various political currents surging about the region, why did Carnarvon pursue the idea of Conferederation so aggressively? Theophilus Shepstone could be one reason. The Veteran of Natal's Native Affairs had met Carnarvon and converted him to what historian RL Cope calls an instrument of the sub-imperialist forces emanating from Natal. There was as paradox here. The tiny white minority of Natal was fearful of the black majority and therefore harboured impulses to bring further tracts of African territory under British Control. It was this demographic imbalance that drove the colonials voice, but it was a contradictory position for any imperial government to take. Why support a tiny group — unlike in the Cape which had a vibrant economy and was dominated by settler interests both financially and demographically. For Natalians, the perpetual labour shortage seemed insurmountable, maybe a forced union of some sort would open up other colonies where labour could be exploited. With both Carnarvon and Shepstone believing in Confederation, trifling over black labour appeared to be the least of their challenges. Furthermore, in Port Elizabeth, a powerful voice supporting their position was also developing rapidly. And he had cash to burn. That was founder of the Standard Bank, John Paterson. As a leading Port Elizabeth merchant, the Cape Argus described him as “A great apostle of confederation..”

Dean Foreman, Chief Economist, Texas Oil & Gas Association joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss how record-breaking global energy demand and Texas's energy dominance are reshaping markets amid the AI revolution and shifting geopolitical dynamics. With the Energy Information Administration (EIA) projecting consecutive oil demand records of 103.7 million barrels per day in 2025 and 104.9 million barrels per day in 2026, Texas has emerged as the undisputed energy powerhouse, now producing 42% of US oil and 30% of US natural gas while generating $27.3 billion in state tax revenue and supporting over 1.3 million jobs.The Permian Basin continues to demonstrate remarkable productivity gains, delivering 20% more output using 40% fewer rigs compared to 2018-2019 levels through advanced data analytics and re-fracking technologies. This efficiency revolution has enabled Texas to account for 80% of US oil growth year-to-date while natural gas demand reaches record highs of 148.7 trillion cubic feet globally. Despite economic headwinds including record $18.4 trillion household debt and softening labor indicators, energy markets continue to show resilience with diesel demand up 4% and jet fuel climbing 5% year-over-year, reflecting continued industrial activity and travel recovery.Natural gas is rapidly becoming the critical infrastructure powering AI data centers and the digital economy, with hyperscalers increasingly turning to co-located natural gas generation for reliable 24/7 electricity. As geopolitical tensions create new energy partnerships between Russia and China through proposed pipelines capable of 5 billion cubic feet per day, and Europe relies on up to 75% of Texas LNG exports during peak periods, traditional energy resources prove foundational not just to current economic prosperity but to the future of automation, artificial intelligence, and global technological advancement.Episode Chapters0:00 Weakening U.S. Dollar & Interest Rates2:21 Growing Household Debt4:20 Emerging Markets & Supply Chains5:27 Growing Natural Gas Demand12:49 Growing Global Oil Demand16:51 Potential Weakening U.S. Economy18:33 Global Oil Supply21:27 China24:49 Europe29:55 Permian Basin 32:58 ADS Business Conditions Index34:33 Tech's Impact on Oil & Natural Gas Industry36:03 Texas Oil & Natural Gas Industry's Economic Impact 37:52 Next QuarterRecorded on Thursday, September 4, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.
