The primary factor enabling AI psychosis is a mismatch between how easy AI systems appear to use and how difficult they are to use competently.

We already tried making humans into machines with SaaS workflows and ticket queues. Everyone lost. And now the real machines are here. AI can do a lot of things better than humans but here's what it can't do- and never will.

A generative human is someone who uses AI to amplify their capacity to create original insights, novel solutions, and new value rather than just consuming AI's outputs.

Since OpenAI's GPT-5 model started rolling out last week, people ask me the same thing: "How do I use AI better?" The answer is simpler than you think, but it requires a shift in how you approach the problem. Instead of focusing on techniques and pro

We’re watching thousands of American workers get laid off while companies simultaneously hire thousands overseas and through H-1B visas. These are roles that U.S. citizens can’t apply for and that mimics the exclusionary nature of offshoring. open.substack.com/pub/layoffna...

And past Presidents have at least given courtesy to the institutions of democratic processes of transparency to citizens. Just one of the reasons why Trump is anti-American.

I usually write about big-picture paradigm shifts, but lately I've noticed something: while we're all living through the AI revolution, many people are struggling with the basics—understanding what everyone is actually talking about.

WTF, Republicans?! 👉 Higher inflation 👉 Underfunded schools 👉 Less food for hungry kids 👉 Less care for the sick 👉 Fewer jobs for working-class families You call this great?! Shame on all of you! It's time to put #FamiliesFirst! Do your jobs!

Instead of analyzing how economic systems drive political behavior, I'm examining how fundamental ideological beliefs about social membership shape our economic and political choices.

AI systems face a fundamental paradox. They depend entirely on quality information for training, yet they're systematically destroying the economic infrastructure that creates that information.

The Opportunity Economy Toolkit gives you 10 concrete tools to decode economic propaganda, counter wealth extraction arguments, and build the political movement for an economy where genuine competition thrives and everyone has security to take risks.

For fifty years, oligarchs and concentrated wealth interests have systematically conditioned all Americans to accept artificial limits on our collective power. I reveal that we can organize together to build restoration. chevan.info/technofeudal...

Variable cost strikes back: Welcome to the AI-enabled age of "COGSware". The implications for startups, investors, and the entire tech ecosystem are staggering, and most companies aren't prepared for what's coming.

Economists seem to concentrate on Money and Cash Flow like that can account for everything. But they are techno-illiterates like most consumers. So we are turning the planet's natural resources into garbage for Cash Flow and making lots of pollution in the process.

Chevan, What do you think it means that the economics profession has spent "Decades" not talking about the annual depreciation of durable consumer goods? I figured this out in 1976. I was somewhat shocked then. Some economists HAD to notice. ChatGPT says 650+ million cars made in US since 1950!

I'm tracking the far right anti-LGBTIQ activists, Christian Nationalists, White Supremacists, and extremist groups targeting LGBTIQ events during Pride Month. There are now 93 anti-LGBTIQ incidents mapped — including 32 incidents of vandalism and 6 incidents of anti-LGBTIQ violence or threats:

The Problem: Current U.S. tax and economic measurement systems create a massive wealth transfer from working families to corporate executives and shareholders through depreciation asymmetries. chevan.info/policy-initi...

Economics claims to be a scientific discipline that discovers universal laws governing human behavior and market dynamics. This claim is demonstrably false.

Houston, we have a problem. Progressives: Capitalism can be reconfigured so it works well for everyone. But first, we have to understand what's wrong: Economics is presented to the public as a science. It is not. Here's the story about what happened. open.substack.com/pub/chevan/p...

Trump operates through religious nationalism, this is why analysts keep getting blindsided—they're still using analytical tools designed for politicians who operated within that secular, institutional consensus.

In Europe, regulations are coming that will require AI transparency and accountability. In the US, the opposite is happening, the House of Representatives has passed a proposal for a 10-year moratorium blocking states from enforcing any AI regulations. www.shrm.org/topics-tools...

The GOP is not a political party like 12 years ago- lying and manipulating to move their agenda forward. They are fraudsters and cheats destroying a country, a world and people’s lives.
