In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, I—Stewart Alsop—sit down with Garrett Dailey to explore a wide-ranging conversation that moves from the mechanics of persuasion and why the best pitches work by attraction rather than pressure, to the nature of AI as a pattern tool rather than a mind, to power cycles, meaning-making, and the fracturing of modern culture. Garrett draws on philosophy, psychology, strategy, and his own background in storytelling to unpack ideas around narrative collapse, the chaos–order split in human cognition, the risk of “AI one-shotting,” and how political and technological incentives shape the world we're living through. You can find the tweet Stewart mentions in this episode here. Also, follow Garrett Dailey on Twitter at @GarrettCDailey, or find more of his pitch-related work on LinkedIn.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Garrett opens with persuasion by attraction, storytelling, and why pitches fail with force. 05:00 We explore gravity as metaphor, the opposite of force, and the “ring effect” of a compelling idea. 10:00 AI as tool not mind; creativity, pattern prediction, hype cycles, and valuation delusions. 15:00 Limits of LLMs, slopification, recursive language drift, and cultural mimicry. 20:00 One-shotting, psychosis risk, validation-seeking, consciousness vs prediction. 25:00 Order mind vs chaos mind, solipsism, autism–schizophrenia mapping, epistemology. 30:00 Meaning, presence, Zen, cultural fragmentation, shared models breaking down. 35:00 U.S. regional culture, impossibility of national unity, incentives shaping politics. 40:00 Fragmentation vs reconciliation, markets, narratives, multipolarity, Dune archetypes. 45:00 Patchwork age, decentralization myths, political fracturing, libertarian limits. 50:00 Power as zero-sum, tech-right emergence, incentives, Vance, Yarvin, empire vs republic. 55:00 Cycles of power, kyklos, democracy's decay, design-by-committee, institutional failure.Key InsightsPersuasion works best through attraction, not pressure. Garrett explains that effective pitching isn't about forcing someone to believe you—it's about creating a narrative gravity so strong that people move toward the idea on their own. This reframes persuasion from objection-handling into desire-shaping, a shift that echoes through sales, storytelling, and leadership.AI is powerful precisely because it's not a mind. Garrett rejects the “machine consciousness” framing and instead treats AI as a pattern amplifier—extraordinarily capable when used as a tool, but fundamentally limited in generating novel knowledge. The danger arises when humans project consciousness onto it and let it validate their insecurities.Recursive language drift is reshaping human communication. As people unconsciously mimic LLM-style phrasing, AI-generated patterns feed back into training data, accelerating a cultural “slopification.” This becomes a self-reinforcing loop where originality erodes, and the machine's voice slowly colonizes the human one.The human psyche operates as a tension between order mind and chaos mind. Garrett's framework maps autism and schizophrenia as pathological extremes of this duality, showing how prediction and perception interact inside consciousness—and why AI, which only simulates chaos-mind prediction, can never fully replicate human knowing.Meaning arises from presence, not abstraction. Instead of obsessing over politics, geopolitics, or distant hypotheticals, Garrett argues for a Zen-like orientation: do what you're doing, avoid what you're not doing. Meaning doesn't live in narratives about the future—it lives in the task at hand.Power follows predictable cycles—and America is deep in one. Borrowing from the Greek kyklos, Garrett frames the U.S. as moving from aristocracy toward democracy's late-stage dysfunction: populism, fragmentation, and institutional decay. The question ahead is whether we're heading toward empire or collapse.Decentralization is entropy, not salvation. Crypto dreams of DAOs and patchwork societies ignore the gravitational pull of power. Systems fragment as they weaken, but eventually a new center of order emerges. The real contest isn't decentralization vs. centralization—it's who will have the coherence and narrative strength to recentralize the pieces.

Historical Influences: Bismarck and Realpolitik: Colleague Geoffrey Roberts discusses how Stalin studied Bismarck as a fellow modernizer who executed a "revolution from above" to build a strong state, arguing that regarding Machiavelli, Stalin did not need The Prince to learn cynicism or power politics, as he had already learned those lessons effectively from Bolshevik mentors like Lenin and Trotsky. 1935

Dikke vrienden bereiken grote doelen. Voetbal-superster Cristiano Ronaldo van club Al-Nassr vergezelde de Saoedi-Arabische kroonprins Mohammed bin Salman bij zijn bezoek aan president Trump in het Witte Huis. Zij symboliseerden het succes van de dikke vriendschap van Trump met FIFA-voorzitter Gianni Infantino, die het WK van 2034 via een dubieuze procedure naar Saoedi-Arabië wist te krijgen. MBS, zoals de kroonprins wordt genoemd, was op voorhand al de grote winnaar van het bezoek aan Trump. Hij krijgt F-35 jachtvliegtuigen, mega-investeringen van de Amerikaanse tech-industrie in AI-krachtcentrales, en vooral het respect dat hij kwijt was sinds de moord op de Saoedische journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018 in Istanbul. Hoewel CIA-onderzoek destijds uitwees dat MBS de moord zelf had gelast, wist Trump nu plotseling zeker dat ‘Mohammed daar niets van wist’ . Hij ging tekeer tegen journalisten die er vragen over stelden. Een vraag van ABC-verslaggever Mary Bruce noemde hij ‘afschuwelijk, onbeschoft en verschrikkelijk’. ‘ABC zou zijn uitzendvergunning moeten verliezen, jullie nieuws is zo fake en zo fout’. Het was een mooi doorkijkje in hoe Realpolitik werkt. En Trump is zeker niet de enige die deze strategie toepast. Jimmy Carter verkocht in 1976 aan de Pakistaanse dictator en moordenaar Zia Ul-Haq A-7 bommenwerpers. In 2011, tijdens de Arabische Lente werden we er plotseling aan herinnerd dat Nederland duizend pantservoertuigen van het type YPR-765 aan het Egyptische leger had verkocht, want die werden ingezet tegen protesterende burgers. In 2016 sloot de EU de Turkije-deal over de opvang van migranten. Vlak daarna overleefde president Erdogan ternauwernood een staatsgreep, en sloeg meedogenloos terug, tegen de oppositie, studenten, rechters, leraren, journalisten en al dan niet terecht van sympathie voor de in ballingschap levende geestelijke Fethulla Gülen verdachte burgers. Konden wij met zo’n man wel die Turkije-deal voorzetten? Ja, hoor, want anders gooiden de populisten de Europese regeringen voor de bus. Nog geen vier jaar geleden werd in Qatar het WK voetbal gespeeld. In de aanloop kwamen er onthullingen over de slavenarbeid door arbeidsmigranten bij de bouw van de stadions, en 6500 van hen die door hitte en uitputting het leven verloren. Voor de VS een lastig probleem, want Qatar huist ook de grootste Amerikaanse militaire basis, inclusief de regionale bevelhebber. Nederland zat te dubben: koning wél of níet naar het WK. Het is allemaal vergeten nu Qatar – hoewel hoofdsponsor van Hamas – zo’n creatieve rol speelt in het oplossen van de Midden-Oostencrisis. Vergeten en vergeven. Net als de moord op Khashoggi. Of, zoals Trump het noemde: ‘ach ja, dingen gebeuren’.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Multipolarity Dialogues is a series of interviews that scan the geopolitical horizon. We talk to some of the sharpest analysts, thinkers, and experts about how they see the world beyond the visible edge of the geopolitical now.The Middle East is as violent and fractious as ever. Now the questions that arise from that violence appear more important than ever. Israel seems to want to end the chaos in a way that provides it with military dominance over the region and some semblance of peace. But can it achieve this or even survive for much longer? Given the scale of enmity it faces in the region and the recent shifts in US domestic politics. What of Egypt, which has been since the Second World War, the dominant military power within the region? And are we seeing the reemergence of Turkey to its traditional place as regional hegemon? Well, to answer these questions we have Firas Modad joining us.Firas is a Druze Lebanese convert to Catholicism, who now lives and works in the UK. As founder and principle of Modad Geopolitics, a consultancy which provides commercially relevant analysis of the effect of geopolitical change on specific regions and industry sectors. Firas for some years now, has been a mainstay geopolitical commentator on the podcast circuit and indeed hosts his own podcast, Realpolitik, within the burgeoning Lotus Eaters ecosystem.

In this episode of PING, APNIC Chief Scientist Geoff Huston explores the complex landscape of undersea cables. They have always had a component of strategic interest, communications and snooping on communications has been a constant since writing was invented, and the act of connecting two independent nation states by a telegraph wire invokes questions of ownership and jurisdiction right from the start. After the initial physics of running a long distance wire to make an electric circuit was worked out, telegraph services became a vital part of a states economic and information gathering processes. This is why at the beginning of world war 1 and again in world war 2 the submarine cables linking europe out into the world were cut by the British Navy: forcing the communications flows into radio meant it was possible to listen in, and with luck (and some smart people) decode the signals. Modern day fibre optic communications are no different in this regard. Many incidents of cable cutting have simple explanations, not all paths the subsea cables run through are especially deep and in shallow waters near landfall with lots of fish, trawlers cause a lot of damage. But there is now good reason to believe state actors are also disrupting fiber communications by breaking links, and a strong trend now to direct which sources of equipment (from the physical fibre up to the active routing systems) are used for a landfall into any given economy. This in turn is influencing the flow of capital, and the paths taken by subsea fibre systems, as a result of the competing pressures.

Today, Les, Martha, Andy, and Jess discuss Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's White House visit and a pair of major announcements: a reinvigorated AUKUS partnership and a new U.S.–Australia critical minerals deal. While both moves signal deepening strategic and economic ties, the real test will be delivery, building nuclear-powered submarines, securing rare earth supply chains, and reducing reliance on China's market dominance.Can Washington and Canberra turn these announcements into action, or will timelines and industrial bottlenecks slow progress into the 2030s? Is this partnership a true step toward allied self-reliance, or mostly a political win for both leaders? And with China already waging what some would call supply chain warfare, how quickly can the U.S. and its allies really catch up?More information on today's topic: https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-anthony-albanese-submarine-australia-trade-7db18e2b942176623dcad283bfad3a6c https://www.foxnews.com/politics/us-expedite-nuclear-powered-subs-australia-sit-near-chinas-doorstep https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/china-responds-us-australia-rare-earths-dealvhttps://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/10/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-closes-billion-dollar-deals-with-australia/ @lestermunson@marthamillerdc@nottvjessjones@andykeiserLike what we're doing here?
