The F-47 NGAD fighter isn't just a plane; it's a flying data center. It relies on a "Kill Web" where BlackSky is the eyes, Anduril is the nervous system, and Palantir is the brain. Here is how they integrate.
Economy & Markets
The Fed has always driven the economy by looking in the rearview mirror. Kevin Warsh wants to install a GPS. This shift to "Clean Data" will trigger a massive CapEx super-cycle for the companies that modernize Wall Street's plumbing.
Geopolitics & Defence
Diplomacy is based on shared rules. When one side secretly breaks the most dangerous rule of all, diplomacy ends and containment begins. The seismic activity at Lop Nur just shifted the ground beneath the global economy.
Potatoes have been "clones" for thousands of years. David Friedberg just turned them into "software." Ohalo isn't just a startup; it's the end of the agricultural stone age.
OpenAI and Google aren't building video generators to compete with Hollywood. They are building them because "Viral Content" is the cheapest Customer Acquisition Cost in history.
ChatGPT is smart, but it doesn't know you. Apple and Google own your keystrokes, your location, and your memories. They are building the "Digital Twin" that will make every other AI look like a toy.
We talk about AI replacing writers. But the real disruption is coming for the "Purchaser." Agentic Commerce will connect the demand signal directly to the factory floor, removing the human bottleneck in the middle.
Nassim Taleb calls the middle the "Valley of the Turkey." In marketing, this is where mediocrity lives. Here is how to use the Barbell Strategy to protect your downside and capture infinite upside.

Wall Street just told Big Tech to stop spending. The "AI Hangover" is here. Amazon and Microsoft are being punished, but Meta is surviving because Zuckerberg owns the one thing investors can't argue with: Control.

In 1192, Saladin sent ice to his dying enemy, Richard the Lionheart. In 1997, Bill Gates sent $150 million to a dying Apple. Why do conquerors sometimes save their rivals?
In the US, patriotism ends where the grocery bill begins. The Federal Reserve has more influence on the midterms than the White House, and their "Higher for Longer" strategy is a political time bomb.
