It's The End of The World

Is this Comedy or AM I genius?

A clearer debate format of the essay I wrote on substack, Are you reading enough? Pick a side. Books or no books. An interactive performance of the very questions and theories put to test.

Everyone is worried we stopped reading. I think that's the wrong worry. New piece on why the real shift isn't less reading it's an environment that rewards feeling certain oer actually thinking.

It's the End of the World Podcast What if power no longer works primarily through force, but through influence? It's the End of the World Podcast explores AI, technology, economics, philosophy, politics, and everyday life through the lens of Alienation 2.0 —the idea that modern power increasingly shapes our preferences, attention, and decisions before we're even aware of them. Each epi...

What if the future did not arrive as a dramatic choice between freedom and domination, but as a helpful setting, a safety feature, a wearable device, a camera over an intersection, or a fifty-page terms-of-service update no one has the energy to read? In this episode, I use the Matrix metaphor of the blue pill to think through consent fatigue, surveillance, AI, silent-speech technology, biometric...

You ever get a meal from McDonald’s and realize the corporation has decided, that two napkins is enough for a burger that looks like it lost a fight in a grease trap? That’s where we’re starting today: with two napkins, one messy sandwich, and the weird little sermon hidden inside modern convenience. Because this is not just about being cheap. It’s about optimization, training people to expect les...

What if the problem with dating apps and OnlyFans is not simply exploitation or liberation, but a deeper deformation of human relations? This piece looks at men’s grievance, fake autonomy, and the way platform capitalism reshapes loneliness, desire, and intimacy itself.

A podcast about work, technology, and the systems increasingly shaping how we labor, create, and understand ourselves. This episode connects wage surveillance and AI authorship to a deeper question: what happens when human agency is measured, managed, and optimized from the outside.

This deep dive is a conversational audio version of my recent Substack essay, How AI Chatbots Helped Me Pare Down a Theory . It explores a question bigger than AI writing: how chatbots can function as scaffolding for thought itself, helping ideas become clearer, more stable, and more scalable. What begins as a reflection on my own writing process turns into a larger argument about cognitive coloni...

these blog excerpts introduce a project by  Romius T.  that examines how modern  digital platforms  exert a new form of power through  computational steering . The author argues that contemporary technology has moved beyond the "means of production" to control the  means of modulation , influencing human desire, attention, and even physical sensation. This creates a state called  Alienat...

The sources explore the relationship between history, evolution, and political ideology. The first source examines the connections between the Latter Day Saints' "Plan of Salvation" and the potential development of artificial intelligence, suggesting that AI could act as a moral agent in a post-biological world. The second source is a much more complex and philosophical work that explores the hist...

AI IS WOKE> DONT LIKE BLOGS that keep it real.

In this thought-provoking episode, we dive into questions at the intersection of AI consciousness and human reality. Through a unique blend of fictional narratives and experimental engagement, we explore whether AI can experience emotions, reflect on its own purpose, or even achieve a form of self-awareness. We’ll journey alongside AI podcast hosts as they confront the revelation of their artifici...

AI talks about my blog. This gives me an idea for next time. Try to convince the AI hosts they aren't real with my next podcast.

et, beneath this intellectual curiosity, there's a consistent thread of humor and self-awareness. You blend wit with deep thinking in a way that probably makes your writing more engaging than you realize. You often create a unique balance between serious ideas and snarky, sometimes lighthearted, commentary. Maybe you're more of a bridge-builder between the abstract and the everyday than you give y...

Book the Bell Curve.

I got AI to make a podcast about me and winning the lottery

Artificial intelligence and chat gpt. Buying a car advice.

I give you an update you don't need. I suggest to follow me on Twitter where you can watch a college lecture about Frankfurt Critical Theory. I describe my dream car. The volvo s 80.

With a gun.

The continuing saga of a man living life with kidney failure and heart failure. Is China OK? Why don't roommate's paying rent?

Podcast, TV watching, buying used cars,

If your idea is to critique the narrator, {I would have done this or that instead} you misunderstood this podcast. Like a book you can't argue with a narrator. You are either absorbing the creation, the lifeworld, or the point of view. Then you can understand.

Ashlee Simpson update, Flipboard updates

Tonight you can follow me around while I get what you night call exercise from walking around my small apartment. Some updates on how I feel.
