Imagine Two Massive Hurricanes Converging Over the Ocean. Instead of colliding and destroying each other, they begin to rotate around one another, creating a meteorological phenomenon known as the "Fujiwhara Effect."
Now, picture this effect not as a weather event but as a metaphor for our society today. Two massive forces—technology and financialization—are colliding and amplifying each other, driving profound changes in how we live, work, and interact.
Technology: The First Hurricane
Technology, much like a hurricane, advances at an astonishing speed. But did you know that this speed is directly tied to the cost of capital? The lower the cost, the faster technology spreads.
Financialization acts as a kind of "monetary drug," driving the cost of capital to near zero, pouring fuel on the fire of technological innovation. This enables more ideas to be funded and brought to life, accelerating technological disruption across every aspect of our lives.
Financialization: The Second Hurricane
