S15 EP173: Hour 2 - The "Agentic Bank Run"
Summary
Eric Erickson discusses the rise of "agentic banking," where AI tools like Meta’s Muse help consumers optimize finances, threatening traditional bank profit models. He also covers a mass shooting in Macon, Georgia, that injured twelve teens, and Pope Leo’s historic visit to France, which drew massive crowds of young people seeking spiritual belonging. Erickson argues that this spiritual awakening reflects a broader societal shift away from secularism and consumerism toward a search for meaning and community.
