The global economic rulebook has been torn up. Traditional trade frameworks are crumbling, fiscal discipline has vanished, and monetary policy playbooks no longer apply.

Meanwhile, AI sits on the horizon ready to reshape productivity metrics we've relied on for decades. One breakthrough could flip entire industry assumptions upside down overnight.

Meanwhile, one major power is doubling down—strategic state funding flowing into critical sectors, industrial policy firing on all cylinders. Playing the long game with laser focus.

The other side? Scattered. Too many battlegrounds to fight simultaneously. Caught in the fog, reacting rather than strategizing.

When uncertainty this deep meets policy divergence this wide, market dynamics shift in ways most investors aren't prepared for. The next cycle won't look like the last one.

Honestly, the old rules are completely unplayable now. This wave of AI really could turn the tide; it all depends on who seizes the first opportunity. One side is pouring money into industrial policies, while the other is still bickering... the gap is widening. --- Wait, are we retail investors about to suffer losses again? --- It feels like the next bull-bear cycle will really require a rewrite of the script. --- Does anyone else feel the same? I can't understand candlestick charts anymore; no pattern seems to work. --- Such aggressive industrial policies at the national level—how are retail investors supposed to handle this? Just passively waiting to die? --- Once AI breaks out of its niche, the entire industry landscape will explode. What traditional advantages will remain then? --- No, over in the US, they're really wasting time; the opposition is already charging forward. --- This article is saying that the logic for making money next year will be completely different from last year. --- Damn, the market is so chaotic that even institutions can't keep up, and we small retail investors are even more confused.

Say one word, chaos. Rules are gone, policies clash, AI is still at the forefront, retail investors have already been washed out. --- The national team is firmly opposing AI + industrial policies, while the other side is still messing around. The winner of this game is already very clear. --- The next cycle will indeed be different, but to be honest, we investors can't predict it at all; it's purely gambling. --- Fiscal discipline has disappeared hahaha, all countries are printing money, monetary policy has already failed, this is the current situation. --- I truly believe in AI, but the key still depends on who can seize the opportunity. The US is too fragmented, and indeed has been overtaken in this area. --- It feels like watching great power games while retail investors are blindly投, which is really ironic. --- Those playing long-term strategies have won, while those seeking quick gains have all collapsed. It's still too late to enter now.

It's all rotten and we're still discussing rules. This is the real game rule.

One grandmaster has already stabilized their position, while the other side is still flailing around? This gap will have to be closed sooner or later.

actually, let me break this down—the governance precedent here is fascinating if you examine the data on macroeconomic voting patterns historically speaking. one side's got clear tokenomics framework, the other's just... scattered? that's not how quorum requirements work. fundamentally, empirical evidence suggests whoever locks in strategic positioning first wins the next epoch. not even close tbh

One major power is playing a big game, while the other side is in chaos. Isn't this exactly the current situation... Once AI truly arrives, the entire game rules will have to be rewritten.
