About the episode: 👀🧠
Dive into this raw, unfiltered conversation where the "Radically Moderate" crew tackles everything from AI's rapid evolution to China's strategic tech positioning and America's industrial future. While the hosts sip old-fashioneds and discuss their Tesla experiences, they deliver sharp insights on how DeepSeek could challenge Western AI dominance, why reindustrialization is more complex than political rhetoric suggests, and whether DoorDash's new payment plans signal economic trouble ahead. This episode perfectly balances financial analysis on Bitcoin plays by GameStop with grounded perspectives on work-life optimization and modern masculinity, all delivered with the laid-back authenticity that makes complex topics accessible without dumbing them down.
