How AI Will Destroy Our Economy (and Create a New One)

In About 1,000 Days, AI Will Destroy The Economy As We Know It!

The Rise of AI, the Fall of Middle-Class Security

This isn’t science fiction. It’s a countdown.
Roughly 1,000 days from now, the economy you recognize—jobs, paychecks, industries, even the idea of a “career”—won’t exist in the same form. Not because of war, climate, or politics. Because of AI.

In this episode, John Lincoln walks you through the economic reality no one wants to say out loud: AI is about to do to the job market what the meteor did to the dinosaurs—but with better branding and a VC pitch deck. Sure, productivity will skyrocket. But so will layoffs, income gaps, and the slow destruction of the middle class.

What happens when billion-dollar software replaces million-dollar payrolls? When Universal Basic Income becomes the government’s version of duct tape? When human labor stops being essential—and starts being optional?

This is not just a warning. It’s a map.
Of what happens when AI stops being a tool… and becomes the economy itself.

Why this video matters:

Because if you think AI is coming for “some jobs,” you’re missing the point.
It’s coming for how money moves, who earns it, who keeps it, and who gets erased in the process.
This video lays out the two-class future in brutal detail—the owners of the models, and the modeled. The question is: which side will you be on?
