Software Is the central nervous system of the global economy and its demise is greatly exaggerated. There’s a growing narrative thatsoftware is becoming commoditized. Large language models write code. Autonomous agents assemble applications. The barriers to building digital products appear to be collapsing. If software can be generated instantly, then software itself must be losing value.
This conclusion fundamentally misunderstands how technological disruptions develop and expand. Software is becoming the infrastructure layer of modern civilization. The economic, industrial, and geopolitical systems being constructed over the next three decades will not run on software. They will run as software.

Space – The New Version

Space is no longer a frontier. For most of the modern era, space has been misunderstood—not technologically, but economically.
Space was a destination rather than a system and a heroic engineering challenge rather than an industrial platform with a continuous operational, and commercial potential. Many early “commercial space” narratives sought to impose venture logic on a domain that remained structurally dependent on government capital, prestige economics, and one-off missions. The result was predictable: excitement without durability, valuation without cash flow, and ambition without a stable market. Now, space is about economic persistence: building businesses that treat space not as a product but as a technological and economic stack – a physical layer supporting a stack of software services and networks.
