## Resource

The Net Society crew breaks down the widening split between the winners and everyone else, from markets to culture to crypto. They compare today’s mood to the 90s, trace echoes back to the Jacksonian era, and dig into why the current macro feels like a maze with no clear exits. The team talks through record art sales at the top of the market, the shifting identity of AI coding as models plateau and commoditize, and how education, media, and culture are reshaping under all of it. Mentioned in the episode Klimnt painting sells for record $236.4M https://x.com/artnet/status/1990938935539781633 Death by Lightning ​​ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_by_Lightning Pluribus https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22202452/ Show & Hosts Net Society: https://x.com/net__society Aaron Wright: https://x.com/awrigh01 Chris F: https://x.com/ChrisF_0x Derek Edwards: https://x.com/derekedws Priyanka Desai: https://x.com/pridesai Production & Marketing Editor: https://x.com/0xFnkl Social: https://x.com/v_kirra (00:00) - Tale of Two Cities (07:12) - 90s vs Today (10:32) - Jacksonian Echoes (16:16) - Crypto and the Macro Maze (22:21) - Record Art Sales (28:20) - AI Coding and LLM Bubble (42:33) - Shows, Books, and Education (53:40) - Welcome & Disclaimer
