Edict of Brainworms

Tuesday Mar 07, 2023

We take an in depth look at a an article by Henry Kissinger, Eric Schmidt, and Daniel Huttenlocher about how AI is going to re-catholicise the entire world, and turn Patagonia vest nerds into a class of priests. We also turn to a stupid little startup before we get into the weighty stuff.

Former BoE economist and author Dan Davies joins us to talk about Central Bank Digital Currencies, programmable money, and the ongoing quest of central banks to hoard more power.

HyperCube feat. Seamus Malekafzali

Wednesday Mar 01, 2023

Terror has a new dimension. Alice, Riley, and returning guest, journalist Seamus Malekafzali (@Seamus_Malek) talk about the Saudi pivot to the third dimension. Also, Labour’s fabulous plans to fix criminal justice “by just using people from the town,” and Matt Hancock’s foray into NFT’s only about one year too late.

PREVIEW The Prime Minister We Deserved: TF Live feat. Nish Kumar

Friday Feb 24, 2023

We've done it again. We've subjected Nish Kumar to a terrible political book. However, rather than being a UK politician's attempt at literary fiction, we've instead delved into Harry Cole and James Heale's ill-timed work 'Out of the Blue: The inside story of the unexpected rise and rapid fall of Liz Truss.' And we experienced it with about 300 of you, at Backyard Comedy in London on February 20, 2023. Hope you enjoy!

Guns, Posts, and Steel feat. Patrick Wyman

Tuesday Feb 21, 2023

Friend of the show Patrick Wyman (@Patrick_Wyman) joins the gang to talk about ancient state formation… and also a strange book written by a venture capitalist about how this entity called The Network (him and his friends) will replace God and the State as the Leviathan of 21st century society. It’s both History and Hegel with a head injury, folks!

PREVIEW Womenne Doth Be ſhoppinge feat. Dr Eleanor Janega

Friday Feb 17, 2023

Friend of the show Dr Eleanor Janega (@GoingMedieval) joins the gang to discuss her new book, The Once and Future Sex, about misogyny through the ages, and how while the justifications change, the outcome is always the same. It is a depressingly relevant conversation to the ongoing campaign of stochastic terrorism carried out against transgender people and immigrants by the great and the good of the country.

PREVIEW Britainology 55: Seven Up!

Wednesday Feb 15, 2023

For this month's first Britainology, Nate and Milo watched the first installment of the Up series, the 1964 mini-documentary SEVEN UP! Filmed as a commentary on Britain's class system and unintentionally becoming a time lapse of the Baby Boomers, it's still an absolute gem of British Pathé Voice, and much more. We hope you enjoy.

Palo Alto Uber Alles feat. Malcolm Harris

Tuesday Feb 14, 2023

Malcolm Harris (@bigmeaninternet), author of the forthcoming Palo Alto, joins the gang to talk about the history of capitalism, empire, America, California, Palo Alto, and the one very special University that may not have invented racism, but it sure did perfect it.

PREVIEW Only Britain Fails to Soldier On

Friday Feb 10, 2023

There's a rumour circulating that Liz Truss may be making a comeback. Well, she might think so--and she's written an article about it. We review this excellent piece of writing line-by-line, as well as addressing some coin-minting antipathy from a weird Canadian columnist that Riley found. We very much hope you enjoy.

Where The Boys Are feat. Mattie Lubchansky

Tuesday Feb 07, 2023

We brought on friend of the show and extremely good cartoonist Mattie Lubchansky (@Lubchansky) to discuss their new book BOYS WEEKEND. They wanted to register a website for the book at boysweekend.com, but it’s been parked on by a group of guys who’ve been having boys’ weekends since 2000. And posting about it on a very web 1.0 site. So, cleary we had to talk about it, as well as more AI-related news, and much more.

Check out the actual site for BOYS WEEKEND here, and preorder a copy: www.boysweekend.biz
