Politically High-Tech

Send us Fan Mail We challenge the default story of success and ask what it means to “win” in a society where people still cannot meet basic needs. We test big ideas like universal basic income, education reform and AI risks, then land on a simple thesis: systems are man-made, so they can be redesigned.  • redefining success as shared wellbeing, not private wealth  • the “question everything” minds...

Send us Fan Mail We bounce from midterm election takeaways to how technology and AI are reshaping persuasion, trust, and attention. Austin Holmes joins us to talk leadership, land investing, building Signal Raptor, and why the winning strategy is relationships plus tech, not one or the other.  • why the midterms feel different and why polls miss “anger”  • a warning to Democrats about arrogance an...

Send us Fan Mail We make our Election Eve calls on the Senate, the House, and the most competitive governor races while staying honest about what prediction markets can and cannot tell you. I give my map-based pathway for control, flag where I dissent from the consensus, and end with why term limits and ad-driven persuasion keep warping accountability.  • framing the midterms as unusually competit...

Send us Fan Mail We step back from tribal politics and argue that America’s survival depends on individual sovereignty, moral responsibility, and refusing to outsource our agency to politicians and media. James Keene explains why elites versus everyone else is the real fight, how crises accelerate control, and what lawful leverage could pull power back closer to people.  • why left versus right di...

Send us Fan Mail We connect three tech stories to everyday life: why data centers are suddenly a midterm election landmine, why AI agents create a new kind of bank security risk, and why New Mexico’s massive Meta penalty still may not change Big Tech behaviour fast. We argue for transparency, stronger AI guardrails, and personal data protection while keeping the focus on what hits your bills, your...

Send us Fan Mail We argue that public safety and crime policy should be non-partisan, and we explain why voters are rejecting “soft on crime” governance in cities and states. We also challenge activist talking points on prisons, drugs, and polling, then land on what it means to vote with quality of life on the line.  • why consequences and enforcement drive voting behaviour  • prison abolition rhe...

Send us Fan Mail We talk with Galen Wilson about surviving a heart transplant, staying sober, and turning gratitude into a daily practice that strengthens love instead of bitterness. We dig into the Monument Method, a simple way to stop fights fast by restoring emotional safety before trying to “communicate better”.  • Galen’s life story of career loss, addiction, recovery, and reinvention  • How...

Send us Fan Mail We run through three stories that say a lot about where tech and games are headed, from GTA 6 hype and Rockstar’s production plans to an unexpected Apple and Meta thaw. We also look at how a San Francisco set zombie game promotion triggered backlash and what that teaches developers about using real locations.  • GTA 6 timeline talk and why expectations are sky high  • Rockstar sca...

Send us Fan Mail We challenge mainstream framing of Israel and Gaza by tracing a provocative, source-driven case that Netanyahu’s incentives and alleged corruption help explain why war keeps expanding. We argue that “follow the money” reveals blind spots in Western media and raises uncomfortable questions about who benefits when peace collapses.  • why key facts about Israeli politics do not trave...

Send us Fan Mail We explore how Christian faith and artificial intelligence can coexist without fear, hype, or lazy conclusions. We trade extreme narratives for practical discernment, showing how tech can support ministry when love of neighbour and integrity stay central.  • Christopher’s work at the intersection of Christianity and emerging technology  • Miami as a diverse test case for church li...

Send us Fan Mail We talk with Alistair Mokhtar, a high school senior and author of The AI Dividend, about how AI could reshape jobs, wages, and opportunity if policy stays stuck in the past. We lay out a concrete plan for sharing AI gains through an AI tax, a sovereign wealth fund, and reforms like a four-day work week and lower college costs.  • why AI threatens entry-level jobs and changes the v...

Send us Fan Mail We test the claims behind trans athletes in women’s sports by separating media hype from biology, statistics, and measurable capability. We also dig into what hormone replacement therapy actually changes, how youth care is typically handled, and why policy debates go off the rails when people cherry pick science. • defining assigned sex at birth versus dominant sex hormone  • why...

Send us Fan Mail I read and react to the first 50 parts of the Book of Enoch from my Ethiopian Bible and explain why its themes feel missing from the Christian mainstream. I connect Enoch’s harsh visions of judgment to modern cravings for justice and to my own honest confession that I have been drifting away from God.  • why the Book of Enoch may have been removed and why that matters  • Enoch’s r...

Send us Fan Mail We sort through three tech headlines with a human lens, starting with why the AI job apocalypse story is overstated and ending with how policy and prices shape everyday tech choices. We argue for learning AI skills without falling for fear marketing, support stricter limits for younger students, and question what counts as a fair “refund” when tariffs distort costs.  • AI automati...

Send us Fan Mail We take on three loaded anniversaries and ask what it means to stay evidence-based when social media wants a scapegoat and a viral villain. We break down the Lindsay Clancy case, condemn political violence around Charlie Kirk’s death, and reflect on how the 25th anniversary of 9/11 still shapes memory, policy, and public life.  • the Lindsay Clancy case facts and why psychosis cla...

Send us Fan Mail I pick up an Ethiopian Bible and wrestle with what it means when one Christian tradition preserves more books than the Bibles most Americans and Brits grow up with. I lay out the missing texts that grabbed me, why I think they were removed, and how chasing the “missing puzzle pieces” might actually pull me closer to God.  • why the Ethiopian Bible stands out as a larger biblical c...

Send us Fan Mail We talk with former New York State CISO Rick Cabello about turning a decades-long cybersecurity career into crime fiction without losing the real-world edge. We also dig into scams, AI risks, and why critical thinking matters more as technology gets faster and more convincing.  • shifting careers after retiring without “stopping”  • turning cybersecurity experience into a mystery...

Send us Fan Mail We walk through my midterm forecast using prediction markets and my own gut checks, starting with the House toss ups that decide the margin. Then we shift to a Senate map that could come down to one seat and the governor races that quietly shape state power for years.  • why I focus on toss up House districts over safe seats  • how prediction markets like Kalshi shape my baseline ...

Send us Fan Mail We talk with Christopher Rivers about why the American Dream feels broken for working people who do everything “right” and still can’t get ahead. We connect war, wealth, media incentives, and local civic action into a grounded case for hope that requires effort, not wishful thinking. • Rivers’ background from working-class Connecticut to Iraq and Afghanistan to West Point and Geor...

Send us Fan Mail We bring back Russell Van Brocklen to share a step-by-step AI workflow that cuts token spend while raising the quality of emails, reports, and client deliverables. We also get honest about the trade-offs: agentic AI can boost output fast, but it still demands judgement, review, and boundaries to avoid burnout.  • treating dyslexia and other traits as advantages when paired with th...

Send us Fan Mail We sit down with Tom Joseph to unpack a moneyless nomination system designed to weaken donor control and make House races competitive again. We walk through how an app-based contest and approval voting could help voters pick candidates based on issues instead of party power.  • Tom’s path from systems engineering to remote-first business building  • Why safe districts and gerryman...

Send us Fan Mail We push past easy takes on faith and atheism and ask what gets lost when spiritual experience turns into an institution. We also explore a bigger frame for meaning where the goal is not self-importance but contributing to humanity and practicing love as something real.  • John’s origin story as a skeptic focused on fundamentals and “what’s most important”  • Conformity, money, and...

Send us Fan Mail We challenge the AI hype by asking what we gain in productivity and what we lose in creativity, attention, and basic human skills. We argue for moderation: use AI as a tool, keep your brain in the driver’s seat, and don’t let convenience replace learning, walking, and real-world connection.  • Why extreme positions fail and why balance matters in tech and life  • Too many apps, co...

Send us Fan Mail We break down what USAID actually is, what it has done around the world, and why foreign aid is designed to shape events overseas without turning everything into a military problem. We also react to the fallout of abrupt cuts, the myths people repeat about “waste”, and the hard truth that some programs work while others fail for predictable reasons. • Clifford Brown’s career shift...

Send us Fan Mail We challenge the feel-good pitch of socialism by defining economic systems clearly and following the incentives all the way to real-world outcomes. We argue that value creation, price signals, and limited coercive power explain why capitalism scales and why central planning collapses into force.  • Defining economics as tradeoffs rather than just money  • Clarifying socialism as s...
