Therapy can be a meaningful space to reflect, grow, and create positive change in your life.$2 trillion is flooding into AI, pushing markets higher while quietly building a fragile system underneath. If that momentum breaks, the fallout could hit far beyond tech stocks.
This episode explains how today’s AI boom is driven by concentrated bets, circular funding between major players, and massive infrastructure spending with little proven return.
From companies reinvesting in each other to debt-fueled data centers, the foundation looks strong on the surface but increasingly unstable beneath it.
We break down what happens if confidence drops: market corrections, pressure on pensions and retail investors, and the risk of a wider financial shock as energy, credit, and tech sectors collide.
The scale isn’t theoretical, it directly connects to savings, jobs, and long-term costs already being passed to the public.
AI isn’t going away, but if the bubble deflates, the reset could be slower, harsher, and far more personal than most expect.
