Everything is weird right now, and Kyla Scanlon is here to tell us why. Kyla is an independent, Gen Z friendly, new age content creator with a fantastic newsletter and youtube channel. In addition, she is the BanklessHQ TikTok correspondent, dropping weekly recaps of the crypto world. Stepping outside the crypto bubble, there is craziness in the real world. We explore whether inflation is destroying the economy, social unrest, why younger generations are unhappy, and everything happening IRL right now. Are we approaching war with Russia? Is globalization reversing? Can supply chains be fixed? Hang out with us as Kyla distills these complicated topics into well researched, thoughtful commentary. ------ ✨ DEBRIEF ✨ | Ryan & David's Unfiltered Thoughts on the Episode https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/debrief-kyla  ------ 📣 ZERION | Trade Across 7 Networks and 500+ protocols https://bankless.cc/Zerion  ------ 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER:          https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/  🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST:                 http://podcast.banklesshq.com/  ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS:  ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum  🍵 MATCHA | SMART ORDER ROUTING https://bankless.cc/Matcha  🚀 SLINGSHOT | LAYER 2 SOCIAL TRADING https://bankless.cc/Slingshot  🏦 GEMINI | TURN FIAT INTO CRYPTO https://bankless.cc/Gemini  🦁 BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET https://bankless.cc/Brave  🦄 UNISWAP | DECENTRALIZED FUNDING https://bankless.cc/UniGrants  ------ Topics Covered: 0:00 Intro 5:30 Kyla Scanlon 8:13 Inflation & Supply Chains  13:58 The Fed 18:15 Labor Markets 24:47 Social Unrest & Revolution 30:16 The Russia Ukraine Thing 35:14 What Modern War Looks Like 39:22 China & Getting Swifted 42:17 Energy Markets 52:35 Globalization 57:30 Narratives Shape Everything 1:01:47 Crypto in General 1:07:20 Line Goes Up Criticism 1:14:02 Green Energy Investment 1:19:53 Is Gen Z Screwed? 1:25:04 Meaning & Creating 1:31:40 Closing & Disclaimers ------ Resources: Kyla on Twitter: https://twitter.com/kylascan?s=20  Kyla's Website: https://kylascanlon.com/  Bankless TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@banklesshq?lang=en  Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order: https://www.amazon.com/Changing-World-Order-Nations-Succeed/dp/1982160276  Ukraine Meme: https://twitter.com/Ukraine/status/1468206078940823554?s=20&t=QrBDbm0rG-kp0eNDS2l-SA  -----  Music by Pick Patek - My Mind Is A Barrel (feat.
