Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Geopolitics of Personalized Money
Q: What does the transition mean for our relationship to concepts like national debt?
With the rise of digitization, debt is increasingly becoming integral to economies, and this gives flexibility to progressively financialize assets.
The Geopolitics of Personalized Money
Q: Can you talk about what financialization is and how it relates to personalization?
Financialization is the process where assets are digitized and can therefore be created as markets, making finance more personalized and giving individuals greater control over their transactions.
The Shrimp Among Whales
Q: How will you think about an issue like Taiwan?
Average South Koreans prefer to avoid conflict and do not want to be involved in a war over Taiwan, seeing no benefits in doing so.
“ChatGPT is so mid”, or, Why AI Won’t Change the World
Q: Are my kids going to have jobs?
Newman argues that technology has historically changed jobs rather than eliminating them, indicating new roles will continue to emerge even amid advancements in AI.
Sovereignty vs. Swipe Fees
Q: Is there a future for credit card companies in the age of systems like PIX?
Yes, credit cards still hold niche roles, especially for installment payments, but will face increasing competition from systems like PIX.
