How this term appears in the channel The phrase time deflation surfaces in the channel's conversation with Nat Eliason (Ep. 48), in a discussion about what happens to the value of time and effort as AI tools let people build and ship dramatically faster — the same episode explores pre-selling a $200,000 course in a week and building working apps in a day with Cursor's agent mode [^8d8a5d27-db09-5879-9037-e5dcb1b4adde]. The captured material frames the term in that context rather than defining it formally, so treat the surrounding episode as the authoritative usage.
