Summary
Phil emphasizes that charts are the one thing that won’t lie in an era of disinformation and propaganda. He references the FT article on Russian propaganda and the 1924 Zinoviev letter (purported Russian letter to UK Labour urging communist revolution — possibly a fake to influence elections) as historical parallel for today’s disinformation. As cheerleaders of the boom try to distract subscribers in 2026, charts will be the reliable guide.
