Episode notes
Economic Singularity By 2030
- Raoul Pal predicts an "economic singularity" by ~2030 when traditional economics and markets become inadequate.
- He says rapid AI progress compresses economic change into about six years requiring urgent adaptation.
Why GDP Growth Is Falling
- GDP growth equals population growth plus productivity growth plus debt growth, and all three engines are weakening.
- Pal argues declining population, stagnant productivity and stalled debt expansion explain long-term slow growth.
Robots Will Fill Labor Gaps
- Robotics are replacing humans in many roles and will scale into factories first, then homes over a decade.
- He sees humanoid robots as a long-term answer to labor shortages but notes slow hardware scale-up.
