It is a loss to all Americans that David was arbitrarily and illegally dismissed from his job serving us in the Federal Government. But if he's from Nigeria, he's probably seen worse.
I think you are dead right calling America a nation of hustlers. This was a problem from the get-go. Our founding fathers thought they were building an "Empire of Virtue" because they assumed that all Americans were just like them; they had zero insight into the mind of the average American. They soon discovered they had really established a "Nation of Grift." And so it goes.
Fascinating. Your analysis on the AI landscape and the predicted premium on hustling truly resonated. I'm curious: how do you envision the 'for better or worse' playing out with the rise of AI slop? Will it intensify preassure, or create space for less transactional hustling?
One of your best episodes yet guys. The personal stories shared by everyone added so much depth and nuance to each topic. Thanks for making the show
