This episode unpacks the viral Srini Research article predicting a rapid collapse in white-collar employment and a "daisy chain" of correlated financial bets. We debate the dichotomy of data—a looming deflationary doom versus a euphoric productivity boom—and analyze why the "moats of friction" protecting today’s software giants are thinner than we think.
