This episode, the first of a four-part series, discusses an extended excerpt (Chapters 1 through 8) from a book titled "THE LAST ECONOMY: A Guide to the Age of Intelligent Economics" by Emad Mostaque, released on August 22, 2025. The author, who is the founder of Stability AI, argues that the world is facing an "Intelligence Inversion," the final economic phase transition where Artificial Intelligence (AI) will make human economic relevance obsolete within a "Thousand-Day Window." The source identifies seven "Fatal Lies of a Dying Paradigm," such as the fundamental nature of scarcity and the value of human labor, which are no longer true in an AI-driven world. The text proposes a new economic framework called "Intelligence Theory," asserting that value is the creation of order against entropy, and introduces the "MIND of a Civilization" dashboard, which suggests that civilizational vitality is a multiplication of Material, Intelligence, Network, and Diversity capitals.
