ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY

Bram Kanstein and Jesse Tevelow discuss why AI and Bitcoin land as a civilizational fork in the road. They confront centralized AI black boxes, fiat money, and the Cantillon effect as engines for inequality. Jesse argues Bitcoin is the anchor of truth and absolute scarcity that can keep autonomous AI aligned. They connect proof of work to the physical world, like gravity for Icarus’ wings. The conversation ends on sovereignty, the meaning crisis, and a possible new Renaissance.
