The Valley Current®: What is a Good Autocracy?
Is democracy living on borrowed time? In this electrifying episode of The Valley Current®, host Jack Russo sits down with David Nash, creator of The Segmented World, to explore whether a “good autocracy” might be the world’s only path forward. Drawing on insights from his Segmented World Model and his upcoming book series, David argues that rising debt, climate pressures, and political paralysis could push nations toward centralized, one-party rule, citing Singapore as a possible template. Together, they dive into the explosive implications of super-intelligent AI, the dangers of strongman politics, and how economic shocks might trigger seismic shifts in governance. Can liberal democracy survive the crises ahead, or will the future belong to carefully managed autocracies? Don’t miss this riveting conversation that could redefine how you see freedom and power!
