I wasn't expecting this conversation to be so state-centric in many ways.
But since we've gone in this direction, and since, again, we're talking about the long arc of history here and society, can you talk a little bit about the impact of AI on, if we think about the social contract between a state's population and its political authority, what does it mean when work starts to be automated, when maybe culture becomes more automated?
I realize this is a very general big picture question, but if anyone can respond to this, you can.
Well, Dune references were also not where I was expecting this conversation to go, but- Science fiction is better on this sort of stuff than anything else.
We should get a list of recommended sci-fi books from Martin and put it in the newsletter.
We'll follow up with you afterwards.
Martin Wolf, another amazing conversation.
Thank you so much for coming back on All Thoughts.
We'll chat with you again next spring.
Joe, that was fascinating.
Indeed.
I feel a little bit like I was back at university getting a history lecture.
I also just realized since we've come to London from Madrid, we could hit maybe four, I want to say four more European cities and get a complete European colonial tour.
I would love to.
Got to go to Lisbon, Paris, Brussels.
That's three.
we really need we need to make a we need a european tour we need a uh we need to make this a recurring spring trip to london there was so much in that conversation that was interesting i do think so i do think martin hit on something and it's funny because this came up in our conversation from last year as well where we were talking about the dollar reserve system and the idea that like yes okay there are downsides to having the world's reserve currency but there are also a lot of
upsides, including being able to run a massive fiscal deficit.
But his point that it's difficult to understand why so many Americans in particular are so aggrieved as to want to blow up an existing structure
that compared to the rest of the world seems to have benefited them enormously.
