The real impact of breakthrough technologies like quantum computing, fusion, and humanoid robotics will come from the second-, third-, and fourth-order effects they unleash across markets, labor, and geopolitics.

Understanding that change requires first-principles thinking: stripping problems down to the fundamentals — inputs, constraints, and incentives — and rebuilding from there.

At Semafor Tech: First Principles, leading thinkers will move beyond speculation to examine how emerging technologies will shape the real economy, the news cycle, and the decisions defining the months ahead.
