The Last President Paradox & The Intransigent Minority

I’m Benjamin Anderson, executive producer for the Vance Crowe Podcast. This is the first of an on-going series of articles that reveals the Easter egg ideas from the podcast. Here, I will explore the ‘why’ behind concepts mentioned on the podcast, otherwise you may only get the ‘what’. I want these deeper dives and info riffs to help us build a tighter relationship between you the listener and us the podcast creators. Please feel free to send me a note, feedback and especially constructive criticism to ben@articulate.ventures.

On his recent podcast with Jeremy LaKosh, Vance mentions my Peter Theil Paradox perspective that “(Ben Anderson) believes that Trump will win the election and be the last president under our current system of democracy.” Since this Easter egg directly references a viewpoint I had, I thought it’d be a great candidate to start off this series.

Jeremy LaKosh is a savant historian and host of the Historical Context Podcast. I’m happy to have the opportunity to interact with Jeremy offline through our Articulate Ventures Network, he’s a deep thinker who has a knack for exposing truth through primary sources. In the full interview, Vance references this prediction I made in July while discussing a concept pioneered by Nassim Taleb, “Fractal Localism.”
