Much of today’s conversation focuses on digital futures—AI, software, platforms, virtual economies. But beneath every digital system lies a physical foundation that cannot be ignored.
Electricity powers intelligence.
Metals carry electrons.
Infrastructure enables automation.
The modern world does not run on ideas alone. It runs on transformers, grids, copper, aluminum, and industrial systems that are slow to build and hard to replace. These are not fashionable topics, but they are decisive ones.
Periods of technological acceleration often obscure physical constraints—until those constraints reassert themselves. The coming decades will be defined not only by innovation, but by bottlenecks: energy transmission, materials supply, skilled labor, and infrastructure resilience.
Paying attention to these realities grounds our understanding of the future in physics rather than hype.
