We catch up with World Cup news, engage in some vile orientalism about Qatar, and take a look at American colleges and universities partnering with gambling sites to wring some more profit out of their students and sports programs. Then, an in-depth reading series on a Peter Thiel-aligned movement of eugenics, biological optimization, “secular Calvinism,” and more dubious effective altruism, all wrapped up in one couple and their plans to out-breed the world.

Yo I will not send you a jar of piss Chris Wade nor will I call you Pissy Chrissy Wade

Quinn

🙂

Thom

I've seen enough: Qatar can be nuked (after a considerable effort to remove migrants)

kenton

did Kamila Harris write that intro?

MC Prescott

All the migrants were shot after setting up the World Cup fan town, no need for consideration

TCE

👎 to you I say

Thom

ah jeez dammit that sucks, ok lauch nukes also target MBS

HeyB00B00

That was an excerpt from her valedictorian speech

Jessica Rios

Will, I love you so much for your opening. 💜

Of course

Mr. Christman at 13:28 ... "it's just money watching itself" ... yep, social darwinism + hedonism + automation = people are inconvenient and superfluous

Do Golems Dream of Ceramic Sheep

l give the pronatalist couple 2 generations before they produce their own Charles II of Spain, maybe 3 if they set up a Boy and His Dog style sperm collection system

Greg

Like Matt, I constantly confuse Todd Marinovich with Tony Mandarich.

Enoch

At least lords buying indulgences knew they were sinning. Effective altruism freaks have to claim that all their evil is actually good.

TugNuggins

Are they all on acid? In any case, you love to c it folx

plainwrap

Crusader Kings 2 is probably the most accurate analysis of the psychology of the Tech Middle Class strivers because the moment your character gives a title and some land to a simpering courtier they immediately start having a shitload of kids and then act like they're some kind of fucking dynasty. Go ahead and name your kid Titan Invictia, they're still not getting a spot in Peter Thiel's apocalypse bunker when the shit hits the fan.

J P 3

File this in Classic Chapo. The in-depth reading series for this one is one of the best so far. Great work guys.

T.A. Martin

One thing I've notice about these Neo-eugenicist is while they're always screening for things like intelligence, it never occurs to them to breed for base cunning. Therefore they are doomed.

Jessica S

100%! Lol. I’d pay to see that steel door slammed in their face.

Clean Shirt Piggie

When your son, Titus, flunks out of college because he can't code, he can still linger on campus, play the slots, bet on the football team, and get a "degree" in life. My own son is right there now. Thinking about giving him the tuition $ and saying just bet well.

Jessica S

Idk, I think I’d take the looney quiver-full über Duggar-like breeders over the secular version. At least the former tends to isolate themselves from society save for obligatory evangelizing. These fuckers actually have resources to affect broader society. Of course, if they keep cranking out kids, they better hope their cash flow never dries. Raising exemplary children ain’t gonna be cheap. Besides, those kids will ditch them as soon as possible at 18. People, especially once approaching, experiencing and finishing puberty, tend to resent being controlled. Hell, my 8 year old has been practicing for her teen years since the terrible twos began - and have yet to end. 🤪😭

Shawn Hayes

This goes great with some of the latest true anon eps

Jessica S

Another thing, these people seem to understand that eventually the sun will burn out and even if their progeny saved humanity, eventually become Adam and Eve 2.0, it doesn’t matter. There will be a last of their bloodline that can go no further. Unless they count on mankind living on spaceships by that point, their mission is the ultimate exercise in futility. And to foist the future of humanity on people who never had a say, pure narcissism. I really feel for those kids.

Joe

This slop is truly Thanksgiving-worthy.

Roger Peet

Lovelock-pilled, interesting.

Frank

banger ep,, haven't had my blood boil at a reading series like this in awhile

Post Void

Al Jazeera sure has been writing some damage control peices as of late.

YukiNukem64x

"I would like you to be predestined into a woodchipper"

Axel

We can't have no group of herbs using the word long-thermism like that.

Dan

All meritocratic theory and sentiment are implicitly eugenecist. It was only a matter of time until the Right started explicitly extolling eugenics again. Whether it is these Peter Thiel Silicon Valley psychos in the reading or the "great replacement" Lauren Southern types, they are articulating basically the same worldview and political project, with an overlapping lexicon of terminology.

THEKILLERWHALE

Okay, not to body shame or whatever, but this pro-natalist couple are two of the worst looking nerds I have ever seen. Their jaws would crack if they bit into a day old croissant. They are absolutely not the best that humanity has to offer. And if they claim that culturally or intellectually they are among the most superior 1% well, if they had any intelligence or actual love for actual human culture, they would not be doing this Goop for your genitals horseshit in the first place.

Patrick Burke

Matt going off on the gaping maw of end stage capitalism

Matelda

Even if they were genetically superior, that's not how evolution works. At best they're might create the human equivalent of dog breeds that have been bred into such disabilities & deformations that they physically could not survive without surgery

Matelda

Anyone who would do this has automatically disqualified themself from consideration to be humanity's good, let alone best

Post Void

A lot of the European nobility already look like pug dogs, so you have a point.

Matelda

Exhibit A, the "Hapsburg jaw," Exhibit B, FLDS fumarase deficiency. There's a reason why hunter-gatherers since prehistory have deliberately done the opposite, i.e. periodic swapping for intermarriage with other clans.

Robert Cullimore

The reason the kids of these cunts will be fucked up, was the bit in the piece that caught my attention is they had a 6am nursery drop off bring back the guillotine!

Elliot Matheny

Most of them probably don’t even believe in it, as evidenced by Bankman. It’s just convenient propaganda

Elliot Matheny

Classic line, my man really is a midwesterner

Elliot Matheny

Haven’t followed Glenn closely for a while - has he really heel turned that hard?

William

I don't think that's going to do what you think that's going to do

colin muller

pretty sure will just called for cyborgocide

Andrew Fedje, Conduit of Corn

Hilarious that Elon thinks he's genetically superior. The man that looks closest to the evolutionarily designed human who is built to survive car crashes. Maybe that's why his cars' autopilots keep veering into concrete walls.

Do Golems Dream of Ceramic Sheep

I dunno, they're not that bad _looking_ to me. (At least, there exist promo photos of them where they come out pretty good---the photographers and photoshoppers are certainly doing some heavy lifting there, but that's any picture a person looks good in). The Hapsburg Jaw of the mind is absolutely there though, and getting cornered by one of them at a party is evidence that you've actually died and gone to Hell.

Martin Ryan

Is Ollie Vargas one of those paid influencers Felix mentioned? He’s gone full human rights violation denialist.

Ratbones

The techno cultists are like a reverse Children of Men. In the movie the future is lost because the last child was already born. In reality it's that past that's lost because the last adult has already died.

Nolan

On my Noah Cross shit.

CCM

Scott Harding

Someone needs to tell these freaks that Dr. Strange love was a dark comedy, not an instructional video.

Nick Perri

Gonna name my kid TightAss Androgynous and live forever.

Bella DeBall

Laughed at both Felix pronouncing "Marinovich" as "Moron-ovich" and Christman getting Todd Marinovich confused with Tony Mandarich.

Mark

Absolute banger of an episode

Null_null

It sucks watching people who devote themselves to the just cause of calling out human rights abuses in Palestine work overtime to try to wipe this heinous crime against humanity under the rug.

BureaucracyNow

Just bought an annual subscription and I cry during the first minute of the first episode? Can I speak with the manager?!? REFUND!!

David Browm

Will found out he's a Trump while he was on tour

Sean

It’s funny how there’s been a couple articles saying chapo is still popular despite building a name off Bernie’s campaign and it’s like yeah they’re really good at their job lol. Great ep

drewb

No single news org is perfect - all this means is Al Jazeera are just as compromised as the likes of the BBC, Fox and CNN

BigBoto

Longtermists: "everything in life is transactional" and I slowly dematerialize as I stare into the void.

Brendan A. MacWade

A surprisingly serious episode. Now join the good people on Mastodon. You will have the same number of followers.....in a few months.

K

etienne

it's so nihilistic of them to move from San Francisco to Austin. SF is heaven on earth, one of the best climate you can have, and they ruined it by making everyone homeless, and as a result they're moving to Texas, home of some of the worst weather. There are no cricket infestations in San Francisco

THEKILLERWHALE

Yeah, I do not think it is nice to make fun of people for these things ... unless they purport to be some kind of super humans whose seed is essential to the continuation of human civilization. In that case, get a dick that works four eyes.

SaintVitus

God damnit Will, maybe it's because I didn't take my hormones today but you made me cry at work with that intro (thank you)

Damen Irving

If the whole project of these pro-natalists is also building to transhumanism, wtf does it matter whose genes make it to the end?

Huge Logo

Beautiful and moving opening segment. 👏

CJ

Welcome Back, Qatar

Henry

Barn burner of an episode from the boys today.

Secularhumanist

Definitely a top ten episode for me, but I’ve yet to go back and listen to the Roth episodes

Secularhumanist

Thank you, I was confused as to why Matt would be a raiders fan

Daniel Martínez González

The manga Blame is real, is our future. The Thiel tech couple is the proof. We can have them decapitated publicly and and do a witch hunt for these lizardmen, we are on time to avoid the Blame future.

absoluteboi

lol @ the theories about crypto bubble crashing because of sports betting apps and not because of the historic rate hike onslaught that the fed has been on all year

Jack Nieker

What’s the song at the 32 minute mark?

leonard

will—thank you for your opening remarks. i’m a trans man, and the same age as daniel who was murdered. thank you guys for always sticking up for us and welcoming us. i hope very [normal and chill] things happen to our enemies.

Well aged meme

All-timer for me. feels like older Chapo.

No

Smart Patrol/mr DNA by the majestic DEVO

No

Only President Xi can save the future by cleansing the earth of the scourge of transhumanism and also circumcision

Ozzie

So stoked to see Weird Mike becoming a fully fledged Wahhabist

Jules S

good words will.

Zarathushtra

This is the most Ballardian episode yet.

Zarathushtra

I really wish we could get an episode or two, that’s hours long, where they talk deeper on subjects like the folly of transhumanism and other more rightwing obscure issues.

JM

Lol

Kamran Husain

matt i’m serious as a ski bum who’s high all the time, please stop encouraging me

Luke Rybuck

Really really good episode!

Robert Karnick

One of the most chilling reading series in a while. It’s so telling how these people think of having children as “replicating” themselves, rather than creating new individuals with their own free will

I am become reply guy

And how all they think about is raising them to be good at homework, or how every interaction is an opportunity to raise their stats, how one bad experience or feeling of uncertainty will ruin them. They’re investments, commodities. It’s like having real estate, having the right kid. What an incredibly alienating way to enter the world. These people are all high on their own bullshit, they’re completely empty inside.

Daniel

These rich silicon valley people provide less actual “value” to society than your local garbage man. What a grotesque society we have that these people have been rewarded with such wealth and attention. Absolutely maddening…. Which is exactly what i want ffrom my chapo, cheers

SaintVitus

Like an idiot I didn't call in for a refill until I was out!

SaintVitus

Lick my girldick cum off the bottom of my pink boots you worthless insect.

Dan

Once again, the Chapo boys are confusing their metaphors with references to H.G. Wells's ' The Time Machine'. In the book, the Eloi are basically bovine human livestock, and the Morlocks are the cannibals at the top of the food chain that eat them.

kenton

it was performative emotivity and this trans isn't gonna pretend it wasn't

Mark Schneider

Yes, it's sociopathy (not turtles) all the way down

Zack Burke

Beautiful opener, Will.

Mark Schneider

When Will finally got to "Simone's autism" everything gelled. These people are not even human, they are a simulacrum of humanity who want to be full-on Robots. Awesome show guys, things are very bleak!!

Dan

By the way, for everyone that wants to watch "A Boy and his Dog", the whole thing is on YouTube.

Meg Peterson

What’s the thumbnail photo from?

Nathan

They were right. The Eloi were the upper class that wasted away due to idleness to become human livestock. The Morlock were the exploited workers that became cannibals.

Alex Gullen

If wealth = IQ, 100B reduction and counting…

Nathan

I think Matt is too pessimistic that the tech lords will win in the near term. Nothing they build works. The tech companies based around leveraging Big Data to sell ads won't exist in 10 years. The ones that provide an actual service/product, like Amazon, will be reliant on unionized labor to function. We still have to contend with climate change and an increasingly violent right, but I'm not worried Theil is going to make me live in a pod.

etienne

nazis put speed in chocolate bars to keep tank pilots going. the big guy was also on speed fulltime past a certain date

Robert Armstrong

Can y’all unlock this’un? You’re on fire and goddamn I got friends who should hear it.

Robert Armstrong

Gonna trip here ‘cuz I’m a bit drunk and want to be noticed, but . . . Seriously. Long-time, first-time - this is Chapo at its absolute finest. Unlock the FUCK out of this episode so I can annoy the shit out of my friends.

Jason Edmiston

I have some great news for you, Robert.

Bobi Jon-son Kenobi

Heartfelt, funny, angering, insightful, hopeful… this ep has it all

Dan

Yes, I've pointed that out before. The Cannibalism is the more salient point though, so it confuses the reference.

James Proulx

I believe that my first purchase from the school book store at college included the following free gifts in the bag: Condoms, No-Doze pills (Speed) and a credit card offer.

Isaac

Kinda disappointed in the boys for uncritically parroting the Qatar story. If they had taken a second to read into it they would have seen that the figure of 6500 deaths refers to migrant workers from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka that have died in Qatar since it won the bid to host the World Cup 10 years ago. Those statistics don't t include just migrant workers, it's the total number of all deaths of nationals of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka, across all occupations, including people who died of natural causes, chronic illness or traffic accidents. There definitely were people who died working on the stadium and there are human rights abuses but it sucks when the only thing getting covered is purposefully misleading garbage.

Paul F. Holzfäller

That Collins couple think they’re both putting their Ozymandias level genes together. It’s painfully apparent that neither of them are anywhere near that level.

Boaz Corey

Been curious about what you guys thought about these topics, thanks for ventilating on it.

Poppy Chulo

This might be the best yet. This slop was like a fine wine... a fine slop wine.

etienne

what do you mean "the fuck does that mean". which word of my post do you not understand

Gulb

Regarding the Genghis Khan DNA thing, the same could probably be said of a lot of people who were alive at the time. You don't have to go back too far before everyone is everyone's ancestor. For Europeans it could be as recent as 1000 AD, for the whole world it's apparently like 6000 BC

Erik Weissengruber

Maybe luck is a kind of psychic power and is heritable? I think Larry Niven played with that idea. So as your jaw goes all Hapsburg you fall ass backwards into wealth.

Meg Peterson

It’s from A Boy and His Dog.

Jacob

Banger episode.

William

It's a top 15. Equal energy to the deficit rag I'd say. Not quite 'we live in the zone'

William

The end result is fucked either way what's your point?

William

This tech bs is just as funny as watching Clinton fail, watching the Brandon foreign policy come back to bite him in the ass, almost costing him the midterms if it weren't for republicans being even more stupid.. All these people who think they are geniuses, think they are our betters, constantly coming up with the stupidest fucking plans and then having to find ways to convince themselves why they didn't fail; It's like watching the three stooges but they're not trying to be comedic at all, they just keep stepping on rakes no matter which direction the go

K H

Thoughts and prayers...to Baal. May this blood offering earn his favor. Sorry for these families unable to appreciate the great work being carried out to bring the avatar of murder a step closer to entering the mortal world. Condolences to all those foolish enough to oppose the Lord of Murder.

K H

Sick. Your my great^8 granny was sucking and fuckin her brôtha?

K H

Calvinist but logic cuz smart.

J P 3

This is a really unfair analogy to people in waste management (trash collection) -- it isn't a close comparison. Trash collection is the most dangerous public sector job in terms of falalities. As the COVID-19 shutdowns demonstrated, it is one of a handful of jobs that is actually absolutely essential for the maintenance of a modern civilization. I think a closer comparison would be to compare rich silicon valley people to herpes.

J P 3

"natural causes" = including heat stroke that has absolutely nothing to do with working in a humid, very hot environment "chronic illness" = definitely not caused by toxic work environments "traffic accidents" = definitely not caused by rich Qataris and other foreign nationals running over pedestrians. How dare people complain about conditions tantamount to slave labor and health effects at jobs sites that had nothing to do with the World Cup! Totally unrelated! Might as well be a different country.

K H

I sort of agree. The tech companies that broker information will be/are a government apparatus and will continue to exist. Even if only buoyed by the consultant class. The reality is nothing has to work, we just need to obey and they can say it works. Like the hyperloop. You will wear black spandex and be the pitcrew for a wealthy "autistic" White woman. You will learn to respond instinctively to subtle gestures to give her the feeling of having telekinesis. You will start as an intern sucking in her farts from a diet exclusively of Gushers made in 1997. You will seek promotion to Gushers pack opener because you know phone retrieve is out of reach. You will put this job on your resume above your master's degree in neuropsychology. It's true that they are profoundly stupid and are failing in the practical sense of achieving transhumanist perfection, but the system still insulates them from anything short of Maoist uprising or French Revolution.

K H

They want to be Warhammer 40K minis.

K H

They will be som N A S T Y cam performers in 17.5 years so I'm on the lookout for Miss Titanium cumbull.

K H

Finally. Starting to get it. Make sure to hope really well. For a few months at least, considering all normal things and chill contingencies in a given normal situation.

K H

The anime is sick. They are decapping themselves. Their kids won't last to 16 raised like that.

K H

Base cunning is self selecting and their kids will serve Barron Trump.

K H

Everyone keeps comparing this to Dune, when it's clearly based on the much stupider Warhammer 40K verse. No one in Dune was trying to outbreed all humanity. They were trying to make one Chad.

Austent

Wait is Matt a raiders or lions fan?

CS

packers

MC Prescott

We love our friends at Geohell don’t we folks

MLVF

The silence is the wellspring bringing forth what it is to be human. Cut off the silence and one becomes a machine

BigBoto

Even-numbered episodes are free. Its on spotify and soundcloud etc

Yarblockos

That makes sense, God created the world about 4000 years ago.

Yarblockos

Glad to see another Ballardian in the wild.

Willm

clearly the genius parents are doing a Boy Named Sue kind of thing

Do Golems Dream of Ceramic Sheep

Dude, you are clearly living out the reward for having been a near saint in a previous life¹. Roll with it [1] Assuming that getting high and skiing are basically all we gotta know. Don't want to make assumptions about the rest of your life, but that part's pretty sweet

Do Golems Dream of Ceramic Sheep

l've kinda seen that movie. It's called Titane and plays basically like "what if Crash were directed by a Frenchwoman" Yeah, that's basically how all this plays out

Kamran Husain

still in the bad faith header on twitter tho coming is imminent

Kamran Husain

naw the getting high takes up most of my time so it’s fucking nice bro

Jacob Jones

I come from a long line of farmers, we have a bit less farm land than we used to have, but we do personally farm it. I'm also an engineer. I prefer the farm work. Those folks should really touch some grass. And boys, y'all have spent too much time in the big cities of America. Don't worry, the rest of the country doesn't work and won't work how billionaires imagine. It might seem that way in a city where you can't get food anywhere but a grocery store, but not in the rural land. We still get a decent amount of food from grocery stores, but it is more of a convenience thing than a need thing. When I was a kid (only 29, so wasn't long ago) we got most of our food from jars that we had canned ourselves. If anything, we shouldn't be worried about declining birth rates. Only capitalists are worried about that. Realists understand that eventually the land and food runs out before the humans decide to stop fornicating. The population slowing in growth is natural in my opinion. It's a sign that we have met the capacity of the world in its current state. At least within the U.S., not trying to gloss over the rest of global famine. Sorry for the ramble. Good show, maybe not quite a panic, but certainly something to remain aware of. :)

John Curtin

Matt confused Tony Mandarich with Todd Marinovich

Ricky

Maybe like someone could put out a future hit on these frozen brains or somethin

Daniel Webbon

I think what annoys me the most about the “defend western civ” folks is that they don’t even engage with western culture. They don’t read Melville, they don’t listen to Mendelssohn. They just buy treats! It’s all my socialist queer friends who make art and poetry and whatever else.

MC Prescott

Nightmare blunt rotation

Jake Lewis

this makes so much sense holy shit

grimbo

I shouldn't have read that.

Phubarrh

Two words: Wyatt Koch

Ascetic Blur

I for one welcome our new ant overlords

I am become reply guy

Someone should explain evolution to these geniuses. You can’t predict future selective pressures so you want as big a gene pool as possible to ensure adaptability. That’s how we managed as a species: we weren’t good at anything but we could do a little of everything. The history of life on earth is full of perfectly adapted species that disappeared because some new pressure made their adaptations useless or even disadvantageous. These assholes wouldn’t know what to do if the lights went out lol.

Saga

I'm sure the Habsburgs thought they were the epitome of mankind too, look how that ended for them...

Doug Cartel

Heartwarming! These workers were so dedicated to their jobs that they died

Coleman

It's settled. Life clearly imitates Art, and not the other way around.

GoopyGoo

Hearing Matt consistently sideshow Bob seething every 5 min was highly rewarding

GoopyGoo

Go the fuck off king 🤌🏻🤌🏻

GoopyGoo

Horrendous. Fucking hell

Emma Vickery

there’s no such thing as a trans FOUR year old. jfc

etienne

they didn't say this person was trans at 4, they said that they knew something was different about themselves at that age. calm down

Isaac

the point is knowing the actual truth? how is that even a question. I think we've seen where the ideology of "they're bad anyway so we can twist things anything we want" goes. Iraq? Afghanistan? North Korea? do you not see where this thread leads when you start uncritically devouring a monolithic media narrative about people you don't like? when the entire media is unified on a topic with almost no dissenting opinions there is always a reason, and their intentions are not pure.

Dan

As the world becomes more Fallout, these "pro-natalist" weirdos are the Enclave.

Lalo

i can’t believe my boys are doing genocide against trans people by denying the shooter’s lived experience as non-binary

bravo_delta_echo

Without much firsthand experience with tech people/culture beyond watching Silicon Valley (HBO), I did trust that the weirdos on that show were some mix of extreme parody/satire. Yikes, guess not 🤷🏻‍♂️

Elliot Matheny

Perhaps an even more apt analogy than the rich being like Herpes is that they are like the flu. They make all of our lives worse, and they kill the most vulnerable among us.

bravo_delta_echo

Consider working on that projecting your own insincerity thing

Alexandr

You don't think a young 'girl' couldn't know she was more like a boy mentally at that point? Relax.

Trout Mask Original

Indeed. And while Idiocracy is overall a piece of dumbass edgelord eugenicism, it has its moments, and it's just hilarious that the Collinses are basically Trevor and Carol, the rich "intelligent" (and infertile) couple lampooned in the opening. As I recall Trevor jacked himself off to death as a consequence of the couple's efforts at in vitro fertilization.

Daniel Martínez González

Go read the manga. Your role probably would be a recluse girl from the eternal cloning machine without any purpose because it was left unmanned for centuries. You won't be Killy.

Chris Ryan

They were literally talking about Narcotomy regarding the collins fam! Thought the same thing

Tim Smith

I really liked Margaret Atwood's 'Oryx and Crake', which is about a stem guy driving himself insane with violent pornography and posting, and then destroying civilization, but I thought it seemed a bit far fetched; I don't think I feel that way anymore.

Epicfetus

there's nothing wrong with a little orientalism in this day and age

Aaaaaaaaaaaron1

We really need to stop letting billionaires read Dune

Aaaaaaaaaaaron1

It's so strange how these self styled genius think they're the first to stumble upon these really basic eugeno-capitalist concepts that have been scraped to death for the last hundred years. Like if these brainiac racecar drivers did any homework, they'd go 'oh this has been answered a thousand times before. I should do something else'

K H

Omg thank you.

Laura

Will, thanks for the catharsis. I read that article a few days ago and I really needed to hear some other people tear it apart. These people do not appear to experience being human in any way that feels familiar to me.

Doug Cartel

love to doom my huge son before he's even born by deciding to name him Deus Ex Machina

Doug Cartel

Does anyone remember Kissinger claiming AI was the biggest threat to humanity? they got to him already and he's probab;y been spreading that cancer all over.

Doug Cartel

but yeah, the fascist obsession with genetics and its inability to reconcile "supermen" with high explosive autocannons is a bottomless well of comedy. Going to Ukraine to preserve the white race and then you run into a BMP. whoops

skurafn

its gonna be so fucking funny when all of elon musks 30 children grow up to be failsons and destroys whatever wealth he leaves behind trying to turn the human brain into a mobile app or something

A Jackson

If you enjoyed this episode read Hyperion by Dan Simmons

Rxk Lenderman

Yeah the big fintech weirdos like Thiel are evil and also fun to laugh at, but they are more of an eccentric sideshow to the Koch-brother type ghouls, and I think many of them are finding that they only existed at the mercy of the big money spigot which just got considerably narrower. I think cyberpunk is a much better dystopian representation than futurist stuff like Elysium or Altererd Carbon. There won’t be a magical sterile white techno haven for the ultra wealthy, capital turning itself into an algorithm will eventually manage to consume even the people who benefit from it,

THEKILLERWHALE

Of course they will. The shocking thing about these people is how little they understand children and people in general. If our children commit to have 8 children for a mere 11 generations, we will outnumber humanity! What could go wrong?!? And they will all be exactly like us, preserving memes like the dying embers of a once great civilization.

Chubby Justin

Yall got to start putting these article links in the show notes

i love matts rant about the absolution of heroism

Marina

Excellent episode, boys. I could listen to Matt yell at us about Calvinism all day.

Carol Marg

Credit card companies do have booths set up at orientation and in student unions 😭
