The key distinction is between nominal wages and real wages. Nominal wages are the dollars on your paycheck. Real wages are what those dollars can actually buy.⁣ ⁣ If prices rise faster than pay, you’re going backwards.

Huge thanks to Brian O'Keefe and @nytimes.com for taking this seriously. To my team at Initial Digital. To @betseystevenson.bsky.social, who is willing to bet the family savings on a dream. And to YOU, for coming along for this adventure.

The striking claim here isn’t just that AI is useful. It’s that it may be ‘industrial revolution’ scale. If that’s even half right, the issue isn’t one occupation. It’s how work gets reorganized across the economy.

If you remove phones, you haven’t removed boredom, status competition, or conflict. You’ve just changed the setting. That’s why the first-year effects can look messy.

Opportunity cost is Econ 101 with real stakes: the cost of a choice is not just dollars spent, but what you gave up. For war, that means not only destruction, but all the prosperity that never gets a chance to exist.

"If your local bakery loses one of its ovens, the whole neighborhood ends up having to get by with less bread." That's the whole game. Markets can calm fast; physical production can't.
