About the Episode

About the Episode:

JC is joined by Paul Russo once again to explore the groundbreaking "intelligence placement" thesis and the 2028 global intelligence crisis predicted by Trinity Research. They unpack the implications of AI-driven disruption in higher education, discuss the decline of the intelligence premium, and debate which human skills remain irreplaceable. The conversation covers real-world impacts on curriculum, entry-level jobs, and how institutions—and students—must adapt to an AI-powered future.
