Episode notes
"They weren’t underqualified. They were overwritten." In Part 20 of AI Futures, we explore The Fraying of Order. This isn't a story of poverty; it’s a story of betrayal. What happens to a society when millions of people do "everything right"—study, work, comply—only to be ghosted by the economy they built?
In this episode, we discuss:
- The Breach of Promise: Why the transition feels less like a recession and more like a systemic betrayal of the "Work Hard, Stay Safe" deal.
- Economic Invisibility: The transition from being a valued specialist to being "prompt-compatible" and unneeded.
- The Shadow System: How order evaporates when people stop believing in the institutions that no longer see them.
