"Summary": "<p>Is the U.S. experiencing a shock event right now? </p><p>In my futurist work, I write about shock events throughout the modern history of the U.S. and how they represented an existential crisis for the country, which galvanized the public to solve the problem with unprecedented resources and force. </p><p>In the past week, the technology sector has been shaken by the emergence of DeepSeek, a previously obscure Chinese company that has developed AI models rivaling the best in the U.S., all while utilizing significantly fewer resources and incurring lower costs. This development comes despite existing sanctions on advanced technology.</p><p>While we can’t verify many claims made by this company, they open sourced their model and its performance indeed matches the best that U.S. companies have currently commercialized. </p><p>This latest technology feat by China comes on the heels of many other recent technology feats that demonstrates that the U.S. is barely hanging on to its position as the advanced technology leader. </p><p>We are neck-in-neck with a geopolitical foe whose goal is world domination, not peaceful coexistence. </p><p>Layer how massively far we are behind in our manufacturing infrastructure and industrial ecosystems and it is clear that we may be facing an existential threat to our way of life.</p><p>While China has colossal structural problems of its own that have sealed its doom - primarily demographics and financial - that does not mean it can’t challenge the US for a few more decades and make the world a worse place. </p><p>Even if China is not challenging us technologically, they are the world's manufacturer and unless we reindustrialize, we will face significant resource and product constraints as they implode.</p><p>As a country, we need to massively scale investment in our infrastructure, reindustrialization, technology and our workforce. But it's a collective effort and you can help! </p><p>Start by selecting an overseas-made product, reengineer it using AI-driven material science (see this resource list: https://lnkd.in/gwnFRp7C), employ automation and robotics for domestic production, and prioritize sustainability. Scaling this approach can drive immense U.S. growth, address our wealth inequality, reduce our government debt, and secure a sustainable future.<span></span></p>",
