Markets haven't priced in reality yet — and when they do, most people won't have options. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley argue that individual action only matters when it builds optionality, and that the harder problem is systemic: institutions, governments, and businesses operating with zero consequences for the damage they cause. A viral campaign they attribute to Spencer Pratt — living in a trailer after losing his home — becomes their model for targeting corruption and inequality head-on. They spend the back half laying the generational wealth gap at boomers' feet: decades of accumulated power, rising housing and healthcare costs, and a compounding future bill that younger generations didn't vote for. Technology, they say, is both the cause and the only plausible exit.
