What AI Is Asking of Us @IntegralNaked

Uploaded August 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

Robert McNaughton is an engineer by training who went to Naropa for music and contemplative psychology, and has followed AI for more than twenty years from two seats at once — cognitive science and contemplative practice. He and Keith Martin-Smith work through what right relationship with a technology nobody designed actually asks of us: the risks worth naming precisely, the ones we invent when we are frightened, and the human capacities that just became the scarce resource.

$Terminal Crisis: The Economic World War Has Begun The global system is breaking — and it’s not the first time. In this gripping new episode of Big Picture Mind, Robb Smith unpacks what he calls a Terminal Crisis—a rare moment in history when the prevailing financial hegemon (today, the United States) loses its grip on a system that is demanding reconfiguration. It’s the fourth such rupture in 700 years, following the Genoese-Iberian empire (1627), the Dutch United Provinces (1781), and the British Empire (1931). And now, in 2025, it’s America’s turn. What happens next? We enter a period of global economic anarchy—a high-stakes reordering of capital, power, and institutions. Robb traces how the system always adapts, pushing forward into a new cycle of accumulation that includes: - wider geographic integration, - more complex economic coordination, - expanded populations and markets, and - institutional upgrades that solve for the contradictions of the previous cycle. In this urgent and far-reaching conversation, youll learn: - Why the U.S.–China rivalry is about far more than trade; - How trade wars are also class wars; - Why the global trust in American soft power has collapsed; - What Keynes abandoned proposal—the Bancor—has to do with Bitcoin and the next reserve currency; - What it will take to build a new integrative pluralism out of the ashes of todays disorder. Whether we descend into fractured blocs or step toward a new world order, one thing is clear: the system never loses — only hegemons do.$
