  • AI With a Western Soul (with Tyler Cowen)

    AI With a Western Soul (with Tyler Cowen)
    Feb 19 2026
    China, AI, sand — and a 10% chance of UFOs? Jake and Jon are joined by economist and public intellectual Tyler Cowen for a wide-ranging conversation about the structural forces reshaping geopolitics and the balance of power. From the rivalry between China and the United States to the unglamorous constraints of supply chains, they step back from the headlines to ask what will actually define the long game. Together, they take on a series of core questions: - China: What does China actually want? Are the U.S. and China headed for decisive conflict — or a long stalemate over Taiwan and the balance of power in Asia?- AI: Is the AI “race” winner-take-all? How much does being first at the frontier matter — and would any U.S. edge be durable or just a temporary window? - Supply Chains & State Capacity: Can America realistically build resilience in critical inputs, from rare earths to sand? And does the U.S. government still have the institutional capacity to execute in an era of rapid change? - UAPs: How seriously should we take unexplained aerial phenomena — and what does it mean to assign a non-zero probability to extraterrestrial explanations without sliding into conspiracy? The episode closes with Cowen in the hot seat for his signature overrated/underrated rapid-fire questions covering a broad sweep of topics. Follow The Long Game so you never miss an episode.

    Feb 13 2026
    Iran at a breaking point—and a bizarre airspace shutdown in Texas. As diplomacy and the threat of military action converge around Tehran, Jake and Jon are joined by journalist Yeganeh Torbati for a ground-level look at the widening gulf between the Iranian people and the regime. Together they: Examine internal unrest and what it means for the regime’s durability. Assess whether Tehran is seeking a deal—or buying time. Explore how a younger, more hardline generation inside the Revolutionary Guard could shape escalation. Then, from Tehran to Texas, Jake and Jon unpack the FAA’s brief closure of airspace over El Paso—tracing it to a Pentagon laser test, a suspected cartel drone, and a revealing case of bureaucratic dysfunction.
