In 5 years...

We probably have ~3 years left where human labor still earns real money. After that, most of it gets automated to the point where it doesn't pay. This is the end of labor-based capitalism, the model where you trade hours for a wage and stack it over a 40-year career. The window open right now is an information asymmetry. A few people see it coming. Most are waiting for it to be obvious. That gap is the whole opportunity. What I'd do with the window: convert time into things that survive the transition. Bitcoin, hard assets, compute, energy, food production, and social credit/distribution A wage is rent on your time. Automate the time and the rent collapses. Owning scarce things is the esc The people who spend these three years hoarding capital will look like geniuses in ten. When wages stop compounding, guess whats left? ownership

Optimism in France

I think the collapse of French debt will coincide precisely with the moment when Optimus is ready for large-scale production. It’s no coincidence. Optimus will enable us to multiply our GDP by ten. If tomorrow we had to rebuild France from the ground up, here’s what I’d do: renegotiate the debt, return to the franc because the European Union will probably collapse, sign an ambitious contract with Elon to deploy as many Optimus units as possible… and start by negotiating a bulk price with him, promising him a grand party at Versailles to thank him for the discount I’d scrap all the absurd regulations that block building permits, put an end to centralizing Jacobinism, and shrink the state to 10-20% of GDP maximum (out with you and to work) Result: 5 to 10% growth per year, and everything set right in two or three years. A true French renaissance. The old world may take a little more time to fall. The new one is already emerging at an extremely rapid pace. There’s every reason to be immensely optimistic.

Yes, the French are likely to suffer. The fall could even be quite violent. But unlike many, I am deeply optimistic. What’s depressing the French today isn’t just the decline. It’s the feeling that it’s permanent, that nothing will ever change, and that we’ll remain eternally trapped on this trajectory. Yet the Macron episode is probably the culmination of a technocratic and globalist project built over the past fifty years—including by part of your own camp. Once this sequence is over, the diagnosis will finally be clear. We’ll know what failed, who carried that failure, and what needs to be rebuilt. The turn might be brutal. But once the turn is past, all that’ll be left is to rebuild. And hope will return as soon as the French realize an exit exists. Above all, technology is now playing in our favor. What once took twenty or thirty years can sometimes be rebuilt in two or three thanks to artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation. A leaner administration, a revitalized industry, revamped public services, more abundant production: we’ll be able to rebuild at a speed never seen in history. The old world might take a few more years to collapse. The new one, though, can emerge extremely quickly. There’s every reason to be immensely optimistic.

France is sinking. The French are going to suffer.

I predict that in the next few years, every single country on the European continent is gonna have the exact same election issue. The winning campaign slogan for the next head of state will be all about breaking free from EU control and getting rid of the Muslims in their
