I just listened to you at Manifold Podcast, with Steve Hsu. Great talks!! I can relate to Japan in the 80s…

What’s the name of the book you mentioned, about empires? Something like: BEYOND TAMALAG?

thanks

It's more important to focus on the consequences of political change, rather than the politicians themselves. I'm not so sanguine about the bond market however, if yields do go to 7% on the 10 year note a fiscal accident in the G7 is a given.

The question is what happens next?

What does it matter what Harris's policies are ? If she wins, do you really think she will be running things. It's obvious to me that she has been selected as a puppet.

All politicians are puppets - they do what they think gets them elected. That why Biden policies were pretty similar to Trumps - and Harris will be similar to Trump. Elections are not about choice - but forcing politicians to listen to the voting public. In the end, doesn't really matter which party you vote for - you end up with what the masses think is correct policy.
