Danny, Vinnie and Porter are joined by R.P. Eddy, founder and CEO of the global intelligence and advisory firm Ergo, and co-author of Warnings: Finding Cassandras to Stop Catastrophes.
Eddy explains what separates a true Cassandra from a Chicken Little. He also explains why being right is only half the job if no one listens. He traces how the Fukushima disaster set off a chain of decisions that left Europe dependent on Russian energy.
The conversation then turns to AI. Eddy argues that controllability is the risk we haven't confronted yet. He says the "beat China" framing is a false choice, and that the economic "denominator" behind AI spending is real, even if the market gets frothy.
