Summary

In another compelling episode of The Hundred Year Pivot, Demetri and I are joined by Dr. Pippa Malmgren to unpack the profound challenges facing American society today. Drawing from her extensive experience in US and UK political spheres, Pippa explores the collapse of shared narratives amid political polarization, economic pressures, and an overwhelming flood of information that drives people into ideological silos. She highlights how this ‘narrative collapse,’ fueled by repeated national traumas and algorithm-driven media, threatens public trust, rational discourse, and the very legitimacy of government. Pippa calls this moment a Copernican shift in American reality, emphasizing the urgent need for what she so beautifully describes as ‘heartware’- empathy, compassion, and courageous dialogue – to navigate these turbulent times. We also touch on the implications of recent UAP disclosures as symbols of institutional opacity and the limits of current scientific paradigms as Pippa offers a vital perspective on how we might rebuild understanding and resilience in an era defined by uncertainty and division. Every episode of the Grant Williams podcast, including This Week In Doom, The End Game, The Super Terrific Happy Hour, The Narrative Game, Kaos Theory and Shifts Happen, is available to Copper, Silver and Gold Tier subscribers at my website www.Grant-Williams.com. Copper Tier subscribers get access to all podcasts, while members of the Silver Tier get both the podcasts and my monthly newsletter, Things That Make You Go Hmmm… Gold Tier subscribers have access to my new series of in-depth video conversations, About Time.

0:00.0	Before we get going, here's the bit where I remind you that nothing we discussed should be considered as investment advice.
0:16.5	This conversation is for informational and hopefully entertainment purposes only.
0:20.6	So, while we hope you find it both informative and entertaining, please do your own research
0:25.6	or speak to a financial advisor before putting a dime of your money into these crazy markets.
0:30.6	And now, on with the show. Welcome everybody to another episode in the 100-year pivot,
0:46.2	joining me, as always, on this crazy journey that we started out on my co-host and good
0:50.8	friend, Dmitri Kaffinus.
0:52.5	Dmitri, how are you, my friend?
0:55.7	I'm very good,
1:00.6	Grant. I enjoy this new style. I think I've said this once before, but this is something that's new for me, kind of coming in largely unprepared for a conversation, then maybe sort of reading
1:05.1	a few things and kind of just thinking about it. And I really have enjoyed it. It's in and of itself, it's been a challenge and a
1:12.3	personal growth experience for me. Well, you know, it's been interesting for me because you form
1:16.5	such brilliant questions and I watch you, it's actually kind of cool to watch them happening in
1:21.4	real time. Yeah, as we're talking to Neil and we're talking to Russell. And no doubt, again,
1:25.1	when we talk to our next guest in a minute, I watch you wrestle with these ideas and form questions out of them. It's actually a really cool thing.
1:32.1	You know, when we first started Real Vision, the very first series of interviews we did was something
1:37.0	called V questions. And the V was like Roman numeral 5. And the idea was really simple. I sat on a chair and I had five questions,
1:47.6	four market related questions and one personal question. And the guests came in and it was
1:53.6	just them on a chair, black background, one light on them, kind of like a spotlight thing.
1:58.7	And I said to them before, I said, right, I'm going to read these five questions to you, one at a time.
2:02.5	And then I'm not going to say anything else.
2:04.3	And I want you to react, think about and respond to each of those questions.
