According to the theory, historical events are associated with recurring generational personas (archetypes). Each generational persona unleashes a new era (called a turning) lasting around 21 years, in which a new social, political, and economic climate (mood) exists. They are part of a larger cyclical "saeculum" (a long human life, which usually spans around 85 years, although some saecula have lasted longer). The theory states that a crisis recurs in American history after every saeculum, which is followed by a recovery (high). During this recovery, institutions and communitarian values are strong. Ultimately, succeeding generational archetypes attack and weaken institutions in the name of autonomy and individualism, which eventually creates a tumultuous political environment that ripens conditions for another crisis

AWith Andrew that's one of the reasons. But like just when there's this whole upward trend in misogyny like Gen Alpha, Gen Z Though there have been some crimes in UK where like there were like these male children who stabbed female kids. So this is about a fictional case where a 13 year old guy has basically killed another. Killed a 14 year old girl.
BGirl, yeah. Oh I thought like his family or something.
ANo, no, no, this is not family. This is more that in school violence in school and how basically all this kind of content and like the Internet is basically is creating incels and like young boys that way.
BUnderstood. Interesting.
AIncels meaning more than inshallah you can't. They're 13 year old kids. I wouldn't like anger basically on that in that path like anger towards women. That path. So the whole show explores that case but it's not like it's not about. It's not a, it's not a crime show. It's more about the psychology of the guy who did it, what his family goes through, what his classmates go through but more centered around the perpetrator of the crime, not the victim. It's very interesting. Every episode is shot in one shot. Oh like behind one person continuously like.
BThat'S pretty cool.
AAnd they are UK may they have approved it to like they're going to show it in all schools and all that.
BInteresting.
AYeah and it's got a lot of angst from conservatives for somebody.
BSurprise surprise.
AI don't know why it's like a very fairly see the Sadha show honestly but because they found some crime in UK such, such kind of a stabbing.
CWhere.
AThe girl was stabbed. She was stabbed by a black kid and this the kid is white. But the creator said that it's not about one particular crime. It's just. He's just. It's the idea is not about the crime but they've just made her think about race.
CNow it's become.
BLike. Maybe he won't watch it.
AHe won't watch it but he will say how it's back. Not Baya or something like that. It's not showing the complete picture or some like that even. I'm pretty sure.
BOne day I want to see Suraj's reaction to a wash or like a contrapoints video.
CWhat's that?
BYou don't know Contrapoints? I sent you a one minute clip out of a video but she's this. She is a true trans woman who for at least 10 years has been making video essays explaining socio political issues. She did a she has a master's in philosophy and she produces like very long form video essays, but very high quality content. Like she'll spend months, years researching one topic. She'll read a hundred books. Her videos will be full of citations and like references. But also like very fun to watch because she also put like a lot of jokes and like pop culture. So just very nicely made video essays.
ABut I don't know how true is this, but Suraj was saying that apparently Kevin, according to him, I don't know anything, Kevin Spacey was innocent. Like he apparently has been acquitted. Like yeah. And like that's what this guy was saying and basically his whole career got destroyed. I don't know. I've not read this anywhere.
BThat's why I can look it up. Yellow is very hard to paint with Sajan, I would in fact say. And put a head defined band abhi. It's feeling like his torso, like his head is too close to the backpack. So I think you can extend.
AThere's no backpack. That's supposed to be his hand.
BOh, I thought it was like a space suit.
ANo, no, it's just Luke Skywalker.
BOh, how is his hand? A bulge like that.
AHe's standing like this. I think that's why.
BOh, Brushstroke. Yeah. Better.
CYeah. The MCP ecosystem has evolved quite a bit.
AWhat?
CModel context protocol.
AI don't know. What does that mean?
BYeah, see this, this is what happens. Rajan has started in the middle of a conversation.
CSo model context protocol is like a pro. It's just a protocol for LLMs to call different.
BNo, no. Stretch is not interested. He only joins the conversation when he's interested.
COkay, sorry. So yeah, so it's just a protocol for LLMs to talk to other tools on your computer, like GitHub or whatever. It's just a fancy. It's a fancy version of tool calling. Yeah, tool calling. Different APIs, but it gives the LLM more context, helps it pick the right functions better. So it's a little more advanced than just tool calling. Basically lots of services. For example GitHub, Slack have come up with their official MCP servers now. So now you can just talk to the LLM and say Fetch my latest GitHub issue and send it to my boss on Slack and we'll do that. I basically want to experiment with it, but I can't think of a good use case for myself. It's a lot basically.
ATool calling.
CEssentially, yes.
AWeather related.
CSomething more useful to me.
ALike my way.
CI'm not able to think of Something.
BI want to automate Instacart the best example. That's why I was asking MCB Server, the service that you're trying to automate has to have a server where it accepts that API call. Will it let an LLM do a task? GitHub has allowed LLMs to automatically do, commit, push, whatever. Similarly, any service has to allow the LLM. And I was like, oh, it's open doors open I think. And I realized I was sitting without wearing pants. So then I ran inside both pants and then came out. Ventilation. Okay.
CIs that a melon?
BYeah. I really like the style.
CIt almost looks like a planet.
BYeah, it's just that cool. The little pixels, I don't think that would be dark enough. And circle shape. Like you don't have to pick up the smallest brush. Shape outline.
ALike what.
BBlueberries bloos. YouTube has suddenly decided that it's going to to feed me PewDiePie content. Not t series, not T series. It has picked its side in the battle. But yeah, like now he lives in Japan, has a one year old son and he's making like vlogs once a month and YouTube thinks I want to watch this content very aggressively they're pushing.
AIs you are getting added on.
BI'm not getting added on. That is true.
AI've genuinely not searched this. And she tried to change the topic because she didn't want to make it awkward but I addressed it because I didn't. It's not something I've got looking for on Reddit. Like I told her if I do want to watch Arab porn, I'll just go to pornhub and watch Arab. Why would I go to Reddit? But then I thought about it today morning I realized that I think last week I was. I wanted to check some political thing like some Trump's Gaza policy discussion what's going on in the Arabic nation's subreddits. And I must have by doing searches I must have that must have come out.
BAnd the thing is knowing Choksi, that's a.
AAnd literally the three searches, you know what are the three that popped up first was R Arab Paul. Second was R Conservative because I go and check on R Conservative what the MAGA people are discussing. So now what does it look like when you open someone's phone and you see Arab porn and conservative like. And the third one was AI.
BInteresting. Well rounded individual. That's what I would have thought.
AMaria tried explaining but I think see, I mean I would not believe someone yeah, I want to check Trump's Policy.
BYeah. And the thing is, because we know you, it makes total sense. See ha. This is something Choksi would do. Someone who doesn't know you.
ABut then logically also why would someone find porn on Reddit?
BLike yeah.
CThat is there are proper communities around like porn.
ABut why wouldn't you just go to a normal porn website?
CBecause just like the Internet is full of trash. Reddit has a better like community and you can discuss stuff. Right.
BI'm not familiar with like Reddit spawn.
CIt's like any other like topic on the Internet.
ACheck the subreddit. It had proper porn stuff.
BIt's promising.
AYeah, but I didn't know like that kind of stuff is also there.
BYeah, same. I'm very uncle.
ALike the most NSFW subreddit that I have is NSFW and animator Tease.
BYou told me what animated is, which.
AIs a very good subreddit. I love how they've like really it's a good filter. Like. I honestly on animativities. I feel that at some sometimes there are truth people who working in government over there or at least there are people who work in that industry because people's analysis on that subreddit, sometimes they're very not smart. They're very like. You know, like how if you open the Atlantic and you read a policy piece.
BVery academic.
AYeah, it seems very like that. Like.
BThis is a person who understands policy as a.
ALike I guess like also that is what I have seen. I'm pretty sure there'll be even more intense subreddits. Yeah, it should have been a little sleek. It looks like a something else.
BLooks nice, bro.
AYeah, it's fine now I'm exhausted.
BExhausted, bro.
AThis is requires too much patience.
CI can't.
AI have not scrolled Instagram.
BI think one fun way to make stars is just hold the brush upper and then do tap, tap, tap, tap, tap and let little drips fall. It's pretty fun.
AIt looks like I dropped paint.
BOh, it's dripping.
AOh, take a.
BTake the napkin and quickly dab it. Dab it. Yeah, dab the. Yeah, it.
ATeam star wars.
BTomorrow I might go meet Ayman after lunch. He hurt his back.
AYeah, he told me. I asked him today if he wants to come here but like too Jersey in the evening. But yeah, actually I'm also gonna be.
BDone with lunch brunch at 10:30. 10:15am they have a 10:15am reservation at Din Thai Fun.
C10:15Am yeah, I don't know.
AShe just booked it like Kelly.
CBrunch early Brunch, it's called breakfast.
AI don't want to meet Bindu bro. But like this friend, like some CMU friend. Like I have not met her in a long time and we both are friends. We have one group with both of us on it. So she wanted to go and her boyfriend, her husband will also come. But 10:15. Then you need. Then you should have breakfast.
BIt is breakfast only like lunch restaurant. But you're going to eat breakfast. But actually yeah. Can you get one chocolate jalamba parcel.
CFor me Bro Chee.
BYeah, noodles. Those noodles were really good.
CLiterally it's more chocolate.
A9:45. Because I'm going to go to. I found one coffee shop where I'm going to go have coffee also Breakfast. Breakfast.
BWhy do you want to do that and waste appetite? Din Thai Funk has great iced tea.
COh yeah. The iced tea is really nice. With boba bro, if you like.
BYeah. And the flavors are damn good.
AOh then I tell them.
BYeah.
ABut then what time you are going for lunch or brunch?
BLunch. I'm going for lunch.
ALike 1pm Lunch.
BIsh.
AYeah. Oh, so you're going to meet Ivan after? Yeah, I will probably be done by 11:30.
BYou'll be done before I even leave the house.
ANo, you will leave one o' clock lunch.
BI'm going 14th Street. I'll leave 12:30, 12:15.
AI mean I can kill the Sunday. I can kill sometime. Is it sunny? I don't think it is. It's gonna be that wet weather.
CThis week. Whole week better socks.
ABut you see the video accompanying the. This.
CGolden age, bro. Wow. Infinite creativity. Oh my God.
AYeah. This also this video. I genuinely thought it's AI generated, but it's real.
CWhat?
ALook at the card, bro. I thought this was AI generated this abc news.
CHe looks. He looks young.
ALook at this. Going to be out at about. Look at the card.
CYeah, I keep buying.
AMonday you'll find out but might as well take it now. Then I can sell it later. I mean the. Even if you have to leave the country, you.
BYou just have to find tax returns for this year.
ANo, even if technically, if you leave the country for a couple of years, siphon theoretically permanently. Also you can keep your holdings. No, you don't sell them.
BNo.
ASo then I'll buy. Yeah, buy just ETFs. I can buy. It'll be VO and it'll be cheap right now.
CI mean it's still at like one year ago's level.
AOh, I know.
CSo it can still drop more.
AIt will drop more.
CYeah.
ABro. The whole world is going to get destabilized as.
BYeah, bro. A group at Germany plans. 2017 conversation. India Stock market. America stock market. Trump tariff.
AAnd Modi is going to convince Trump to remove tariffs on other countries.
BAmazing. No words.
ADid you guys see the formula? The official White House or whatever, the Treasury Department, they tweeted a formula there with all Greek symbols on how they calculate taxes. Some economist, he took the formula.
BI've seen that video.
AThis is zero.
BThis cancels out.
AAnd it's basically. It's just trade deficit divided by two.
BCorrect. No, I saw that video.
ABut they just put a bunch of random Greek symbols and they just said this is the formula we have used. And you know how they've calculated? When he showed that whole board in the press conference, it's like see he has said he in that he wrote like EU 35%. I'm just giving an example. So he's saying they are charging us 35% so we will charge them at a discounted rate of 26%. But EU is not actually charging America 35%. What Trump has done is he's counted the trade deficit and he's saying it's a tariff.
BOh, I see. Got it, got it.
ALike he's basically saying Europeans are not buying American cars so hence we are importing more than we export. So that difference is a tariff being imposed by Europe.
BUnderstood.
AAnd it's a smart move. No, because all his supporters are just going to see that and they think that European Union is actually putting 45%.
BBut they are also going to have to then bear the increased cost of goods.
AGood. Yeah. The American consumer exporters are. Everyone will pass it on to the final person buying the product.
CNo.
AYeah, always.
BYeah.
AWhich is why every economist says you can't. I think that Trump and his team, they are not stupid. They exactly know what the tariffs are going to do. They know it's not not a good economic.
CEconomic policy.
AThey just don't care. They are just like.
BI think it's more about the. For them it's much more about the optics.
AThey are the long term not hidden last. Even I end up doing it. But day to day, every day. You should not. No, I don't think for them the word optics. They do have that long term, that whole. You know, J.D. wan said that that whole. Their whole ideology is key. America should be protectionist, we should. They don't believe in globalized trade. They believe in. They want to. Which is not honestly a bad end state. But they want the Way to reach there is not the correct way. But let's see. I think they're saying electronics are going to become expensive. So buy anything you should buy right now.
CDid you read AI 2027 Chokesi?
AWhat?
CAI 2027. It's someone these guys like AI researcher and some forecasting people, a small bunch of them wrote a like timeline month by month timeline of how like AI could go out of control by 2028. Late late 2027. It's an interesting read.
ABut it's fine. We have capable leadership to deal with. Yeah, the best, the most amazing.
CIt's really fun. Like you should read it. It's like deals with how like we can enter a recursive self improvement like cycle with AI resourcing itself faster than humans can.
ABut.
CObviously it's. It's unlikely and I also don't think. But it's a nice like the whole thing can span out in the next 15 years for now. But it's like, it's a nice like I think it expands the horizons of all.
AOh, this is so good. It's really good. You should try. We'll try that.
CI like that better. It's good. It's better than Magic Spoon. Taste wise for sure. The cinnamon flavor I really like.
AYou should try it.
CIt has a strong cinnamon.
AI got a very nice chili oil from shop. Right?
BNice. We went to Trader Joe's and bought two chili oils. It's got normal pepper and it's got onion and garlic. I don't think it claims to have. I don't think the one.
AI got a Sichuan pepper.
BI love that.
ASo it has a slight Mapu tofu type taste.
BYeah, like that slight numbing taste.
CIt's almost like a game. Like you can see the computer that each organization is having overnight.
AThere's a bioweapons track.
CEverything is there. And then at the end there are two like diverging paths that the government chooses to take. Like you can go for the slowdown or the race. Like it's basically China versus US and whether you can choose your ending. The race ending is like very scary. Like oh, it's very science fi fiction sounding but it's a.
AIt sounds like science fiction.
CI mean sure, I'm not saying read it for how accurate it is.
AWhat is the final state nuclear world?
CNo, no, it's AI is taking over the world rather than humans being control. Like what Terminator types kind of. Yeah. That happens in the race condition. In. In.
AFor 2028.
BHow. But in recent times they've Ramped it up again. They're out on the streets again, bro.
AThey are just going to random bank Minos and meeting them like.
CI mean if you do believe this.
AKind of plastic is the worst one right there.
CIt also has like that. That has a tracker for how interesting like how important AI is in the world as a topic to discuss. And even that does doesn't hit 100% while the takeover is happening, which is the most surprising part. Humans don't realize that the world is now being run by.
AYeah, I don't think.
BI think already there's a lot of algorithms that run around human awareness about it.
AWar has shifted so much automated irrespective like just in general.
CYeah.
AI mean people forget that like soldiers are no longer fighting wars like. In Russia, Ukraine and all.
CAlso. Yeah, yeah.
AThat Israel thing.
CI'll send it if you guys want. I feel unsafe. Size and weight of the table.
AMaggie Masala.
BI don't know how the bhaji is. So just in case hedging makes sense.
CHe said otherwise you should read it. But you guys should read it. It's really interesting.
AAh, she.
CThere's a podcast also discussing it if you want to watch the podcast instead of reading it.
ANo, no, I'll read the podcast. Bill Gates also said that 10 years teachers will be automated teachers. I don't know. Good team teachers. Human teachers will remain. They'll just.
CAIs will be more patient, will have more knowledge, will be able to like personalize to how exactly you want to learn, get feedback from you. I feel like they can out compete human teachers in every way.
BAnd also every student can have a personalized.
CExactly. They will get the feedback from straight from the student. They will have an amazing model of how the student is thinking.
AThere'll be human teachers. It'll just be. There'll be tutors. Every. Every student will have a personal tutor who will help them understand things. There'll be a human orchestrating the whole subject.
CWhy do you need a human orchestrating subject?
ANo, no. Because I don't know. Tabby B. We all that when it's not giving.
CThe wrong information and all how you're assuming capabilities will remain the same. They won't. Right? They will get better. It's insane that these large language models work at all. We literally just dump the entire Internet's data into it and ask it to predict the next word and now it's coming up with coherent sentences. That's insane. So you just give it the right goal, it achieves that goal. All it needs is data and scale.
ASorry.
CThat's the like scary part. Yeah, I'm putting.
AAverage.
CYeah. Didn't have high hopes.
BThis show is all about the classics. The big story of the week.
AHe's very popular.
COh this guy.
BOh God. We can't move on with that. It's an important place. For now, back to action news and not nar. While most of us were asleep I will pass the rough amendment bill. It's no longer the rough act by the people. Now it's the to meet people. Because every complicated law needs a field.
AI don't even know this one.
BUnified management Empowerment Efficiency and development. Livestock government efficiency and development data. You could have made it. Only way in Detective. Innovation by Narendra Parliament May is issued with jumpy limit jokes for granted Digital joke party.
CYeah.
ALook at the guy behind. Somewhere cases be missed. Sacral case or hype.
BPhysically or verbally. Now I am not for aggression and using words like but you can't blame Ayodg for just raining down a new rappers because it was so frustrating to watch them this week. Just how little research these guys had done for a bill that they were batting now understanding the concept and law.
AYou know honestly all these guys are crushed under a bulldozer. I really don't care. I'm okay good. I'm happy with it.
CI don't care. I'm okay with it. I'm happy with it.
AWithin as of like it's fine it like Jo I hope I.
BThis claim was actually very viral on TV news all of this week. Sushant explained that with emojis just in case it was complicated for you.
COh my God.
BWhat the. Everyone.
AHere.
BAsk. Proper parliament.
CBro.
BThis literally never happened. Look, there may be some bizarre claims made by me that I do but many bizarre claims made by many me that I. Come at manage bomb.
