The Blue Tsunami Was Young Men: A 38-Point Swing | The Week
George Hahn recaps a week of Prof G Media: Scott Galloway on the Democrats' midterm sweep and a 38-point swing among young men, Big Tech's AI spending reckoning, and psychiatrist Anna Lembke on escaping rumination.
The gist
-
Galloway says men aged 18 to 29 swung 38 points toward Democrats, the biggest shift of any group, because they vote mainly on the economy.
-
Fareed Zakaria says allies like Canada and India are buying insurance against another Trump-like leader, and that this mistrust won't fully reverse.
-
After Alphabet fell nearly 13%, Galloway said he now does basic search on Claude, calling AI an existential threat to Google search.
-
Ed Elson says every hyperscaler except Microsoft now has negative free cash flow, forcing them to raise money from bond and equity markets.
-
Anna Lembke says rumination is an illusion of control and urges people to get out of their heads by acting, noticing and connecting.
"And the anecdotal evidence, I don't know if you find this, I am now doing basic search on Claude, and at some point that's just going to show up in the numbers."
