Stop Answering. Start Questioning. W/ Ben Christensen

What happens to the "intellectual class" when thinking becomes a commodity?

We’ve spent the last century hiring for brawn, then for brains. Now, as AI commodifies cognitive labor, the "eggheads" among us are facing a humbling reality: our ability to process, calculate, and speak is no longer our competitive advantage.

Today on Living Code, I sit down with Ben Christensen, Head of Partnerships at AI 2030 and a builder at the intersection of technology and human flourishing. We dive into the "Roaring 2020s" and what it means to be a "corporate refugee" in an era of algorithmic disruption.

We discuss:

• Question Intelligence: Why the most vital skill of our time is shifting from having the answer to designing the query.
• The AI Bloodbath: Navigating the survival anxiety that hits even the most privileged tech workers.
• Cultural STIs: The risk (and necessity) of opening yourself up to being permanently altered by the people—and machines—you interact with.
