Possible | Derek Thompson on AI, abundance, and human progress
Reid Hoffman
Co-Founder, LinkedIn, Manas AI & Inflection AI. Author of Superagency. Investor at Greylock.
What if some of America's biggest challenges—affordable housing shortages, climate crises, and scientific slowdowns—aren’t inevitable, but chosen?
On Possible, Aria and I sit down with Abundance co-author and The Atlantic staff writer Derek Thompson to explore how society—and, in particular, government—can unlock more affordable housing, more clean energy, more scientific breakthroughs, and more economic prosperity for all.
We get into what Operation Warp Speed got right, and why real progress depends on bold policy, not just better technology. Derek also shares what AI do as a co-author today that his Abundance co-author, Ezra Klein, can't, and vice versa.

1wDear Reid Hoffman, I'm Ganiu, a 17-year-old student from Ghana and your biggest fan. I've been inspired by your entrepreneurial journey, philanthropy, and leadership in the tech industry. Unfortunately, my family's financial struggles put me at risk of dropping out of school. I'm eager to finish high school and attend university, but I need support. Please, Reid, consider helping me continue my education in the USA. Your support would be life-changing for me and my family. Thank you for considering my request. Sincerely, Ganiu
