Karl Marx Was Right About Everything (The AI Revolution is Here)

Описание: I’ve been told my entire life that Marxism is pure evil. But as a bicycle mechanic in rural Wisconsin watching the world change in 2026, I’m starting to wonder if we just got the timing wrong.

Between the rapid advancement of "Agentic AI" replacing cognitive labor and the recent tragic events in Minneapolis involving federal overreach and the death of our friend Alex Pretti, the "Labor Trap" Karl Marx predicted 150 years ago feels closer than ever.

In this video, I explore:

Why previous Marxist attempts failed (and why technology was the missing piece).

The "Crisis of Agency" when our labor no longer has market value.

David Shapiro’s framework for Post-Labor Economics (UBI and taxing the robots).

The four economies that will matter: Experience, Meaning, Authenticity, and Attention.

I’m heading to Minneapolis this weekend for the Alex Pretti Memorial Ride. It’s a reminder that while the "State" or "Capital" might own the AI, they don't own our community, our connections, or our "Freedom Machines"—our bikes.

Goal: Deconstruction without agenda.
Summary: I check my biases to better understand AI technology and its potential impact on humanity.

Phase II: The Internal Shift (Weeks 13-25)
Goal: Moving from economic survival to psychological preservation.
Summary: Decoupling daily survival from employment and discover who we become when we strip away the job titles.
