The Net Society crew breaks down the widening split between the winners and everyone else, from markets to culture to crypto. They compare today’s mood to the 90s, trace echoes back to the Jacksonian era, and dig into why the current macro feels like a maze with no clear exits. The team talks through record art sales at the top of the market, the shifting identity of AI coding as models plateau and commoditize, and how education, media, and culture are reshaping under all of it.
