Tobias Huber

Co-author, with Byrne Hobart, of Boom — Bubbles & The End of Stagnation — the pro-bubble book arguing that financial bubbles, far from being pure pathologies, can be the coordinating mechanism that funds ambitious, definite-optimist projects and breaks technological stagnation. In Kyle’s notes the book is read through the framing that bubbles channel capital and belief toward moonshot bets, drawing on threads like Progress Studies, Historical Futurism, Mimetics, and Thymos.

Context: Tobias Huber is a writer and researcher who, with Byrne Hobart (author of the The Diff newsletter), wrote Boom: Bubbles and the End of Stagnation (2024). His work sits in the progress-studies / definite-optimism orbit associated with thinkers like Peter Thiel.
