Scott Galloway just said the quiet part out loud at The 92nd Street Y:

Marriage is now a luxury good.
80% of top earners get married.
Only 1 in 5 bottom-quintile men ever do.

Historically? 80% of women reproduced… only 40% of men. Left alone, we get “Porsche polygamy” — a few winners take most of the mates, the rest get nothing. That recipe creates volatile, angry young men, and we’re overproducing them.

We’re actively making it worse: pumping money from young to old while young men get judged ruthlessly on their ability to provide. Under-40s are 24% poorer than a generation ago. Boomers? 72% richer.

This isn’t just a dating problem. It’s breaking household formation, robbing men of purpose, and quietly making society more unstable.

I’ve felt echoes of this pressure in my own life — watching how economic headwinds make building anything lasting feel harder than it should. The data is loud if we’re willing to listen.

What’s your take — do you see this growing divide in marriage and opportunity playing out in your circle, and what do you think we should actually do about it?

[Mateus — eu/acc 🇪🇺 @im_Mateus_]

Yanis Varoufakis on why capitalism is dead:

"Something quite remarkable has happened to capital in the last 15 years."

Yanis walks through the history of power to make his case.

Under feudalism, power came from owning land. If you owned the land, you owned the communities living on it, and you had the political power to send the sheriff to collect your share at harvest.

Capitalism shifted the source of power from land to machines:

"When we talk about capitalism, what do we mean? We mean a system where power comes from owning the machines that allow you to retain a residual after you've paid off your workers. What you retain is profit, and that profit is the source of all power under capitalism."

But here's where Yanis makes his key distinction. Capital itself isn't new, it predates capitalism by 10-20,000 years. A hammer, a plow, a tractor: these are "produced means of production." Things we make not because we want them, but to produce something else.

Then he points to something different: the cell towers, the optic fiber cables crisscrossing the Earth, the servers deep inside our oceans.

"When people say, 'I will upload something to the cloud,' well, the cloud is a metaphor for this machinery that is all over the face of the Earth."

This machinery, Yanis argues, doesn't behave like capital used to. He uses Alexa as his example:

"That machine behaves as if it is your servant, but it isn't. It's a portal to the cloud capital that belongs to Jeff."

The machine listens. It learns. It starts giving advice. And Yanis admits something striking:

"When Spotify suggests music for me to listen to, I always like it. Whereas when my best friends recommend music to me, I usually don't like it. The machine knows me better. Same with Amazon. Amazon has never recommended to me a book which I didn't enjoy reading."

So when he types "electric bicycle" and Amazon presents three or four options, he clicks. He doesn't shop around a marketplace.

"Jeff Bezos collects 40% of the price you pay for the electric bicycle. He hasn't produced the electric bicycle. He takes it from the capitalist who produces the electric bicycle."

This is why Yanis says we've crossed into something new:

"Now we have a new form of capital that is not a produced means of production, but it is a produced means of behavior modification. That is no longer capitalism. Welcome to techno-feudalism."

BRIEF ON TODAY’S PROCEEDINGS IN THE ODIOUS DEBT PETITION AT MILIMANI HIGH COURT

This morning, the Milimani High Court did not hear the substantive Odious Debt Petition. Instead, the matter was adjourned to allow the Court to address multiple interlocutory applications seeking either to dismiss the petition unheard or to strike out some parties from the suit.

The key applications before the Court are as follows:
1) The Attorney General argues that, because the Government has directed the Auditor‑General to conduct a special audit of Kenya’s huge odious debt stock, the petition is premature and the Court lacks jurisdiction to entertain it at this stage. The AG therefore contends that the Court should await the outcome of that audit. The National Assembly supports the AG’s position.

2) The @IMFNews seeks to exit the case, invoking immunity under a treaty it signed with Kenya in 1963, which grants it absolute immunity before Kenyan courts.

3) The Former Auditor General Edward Ouk and the former Controller of Budget Agnes Odhiambo claim personal immunity, asserting that they acted in good faith during their tenure and therefore cannot be held accountable for any shortcomings.

4) The Current Auditor General FCPA Nancy Gathungu, CBS, and the current Controller of Budget Dr. Margaret Nyakang’o maintain that they cannot be sued in their personal capacities; only their respective independent constitutional offices may be parties to the suit.

Although the petitioners had fully responded to all the applications and were ready to proceed, the @IMFAfrica and other parties stated that they were not ready and requested seven days to respond to the petitioners’ rebuttals of their applications.

The Court then directed that all parties wishing to file any responses (replying affidavits and/or submissions) do so within seven days of today. The Court will thereafter peruse the documents and render its ruling on the applications on 25th June 2026.

To fast‑track the matter, the Court will deliver its ruling on the applications without orally hearing the parties. There will be no highlighting of submissions.

If any of the parties are struck out, they will be dropped from the case, and it may become necessary to amend the petition before it is heard on the merits.

Finally, if the AG’s application to strike out the case unheard is dismissed, the petition will proceed to be heard and determined on the merits. If the application succeeds, the matter will end there.

The petitioners are fully prepared and are doing everything possible to succeed in this epic battle against Kenya’s huge odious debt stock. Kenyan taxpayers deserve accountability and fiscal justice. We shall not relent. The petitioners will not be the first to blink. #ReKe #DeniBandia #OdiousDebtKenya

The problem of Kenya 🇰🇪 and Africa at large is that we import more than we export. Despite having the resources and manpower, we choose to import more.

Our governments need to wake up and venture into building factories, farms, and industries for every sector and resource.

Here's Kenya's pitch deck to investors in video form.

I shared earlier that just six countries drive private capital investment in Africa: https://t.co/lohYPWOVf4

Kenya's one of them.

And @InvestKenya_ and @MITIKenya are now making their most sophisticated pitch yet to global capital.

Here's how Kenya sells itself:

• The largest economy in East & Central Africa and the 6th largest on the continent

• Consistent ~5% annual GDP growth

• The gateway to Africa's fastest growing markets

• A global leader in renewable energy, with ~93% of electricity generated from green sources

• One of the continent's dominant fintech & mobile money hubs

• The #1 market for startup funding in Africa

• Home to over 300 multinationals and 85% of East Africa's tech startups

Some of these claims need context — but Kenya's business environment is real.

And it's the result of years spent quietly assembling the infrastructure stack that many African markets are still debating:

Green power at scale, functional capital markets, a mature digital ecosystem, special economic zones with real frameworks & benefits, and legal protections investors can rely on.

Across Africa, the investment pitch and the infrastructure underpinning it rarely arrive together.

When they do, it's more than marketing. It's a market.

The question is whether capital is paying attention.

Professor Clara Mattei just gave a masterclass on the coercion of capitalism:

“Capitalism has been imposed upon us by a tiny elite since the beginning. Liberal democracy is really only a superficial facade. When people rise up against the capitalist system liberals and fascists are best friends to implement austerity.”

She wasn’t done teaching! She also points out capitalism itself isn’t natural and that it took control of the world using violence by excluding people from the land. Prior to capitalism forcing itself onto the world indigenous cultures used a much different method to organize their societies:

“If you look at all the indigenous cultures it was based on circular, horizontal organization through councils. It was about caring for the commons and caring for nature rather than extracting.”

Professor Mattei just gave the world a much needed wake up call with this interview and outlined the need for humanity to look to its indigenous roots for how to chart a sustainable path forward!

🇯🇵 Japan was absolutely unstoppable in the 1980s

Walkmans, VHS players, Sony TVs, and Honda cars were everywhere. Japan had become the world’s factory. The US was in panic mode — smashing Japanese cars, slapping tariffs, and starting trade wars. Sound familiar?

Here’s the full story.

After WWII, America deliberately flooded Japan with technology and patents to create a strong ally against communism. Japan didn’t just copy it — they refined and improved everything. Soon their products were cheaper, higher quality, and dominating global markets.

By the mid-80s, Japanese carmakers were eating into Detroit’s lunch. Reagan was furious. Even Trump was publicly complaining that Japan wasn’t buying enough American goods.

Then came the Plaza Accord of 1985.

The US, Europe, and Japan agreed to weaken the dollar and strengthen the yen. It worked — but too well. Japanese exports suddenly became expensive. Money poured into Japan, inflating a massive bubble in stocks and real estate. Japan started buying Hollywood studios and flaunting its wealth.

Then the bubble burst.

What followed was decades of stagnation. “Zombie companies” were kept alive on cheap government credit. Innovation dried up. Apple, Microsoft, and Samsung rose while Japan faded.

China watched closely, copied the model — but made sure to keep control of its currency.

History doesn’t repeat, but it sure rhymes.
