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 episode is a deep-dive conversation that connects current events with thinkers like Marx, Erich Fromm, cognitive science, and the rapidly changing world of artificial intelligence. Rather than chasing headlines, the podcast asks what those headlines reveal about the future of work, freedom, democracy, identity, and human agency.

If you've ever wondered whether AI is changing not just what we do, but how we think, this podcast is for you.

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 inference, and the quiet ways convenience can become surrender. The argument is not that technology is simply evil or that we should all flee into the woods. The darker point is that the systems making life easier may also be making human beings more legible, predictable, and governable to institutions that remain opaque to us.

This is a conversation about the threshold before speech, the exhaustion behind “I agree,” and the possibility that the future will not ask whether we consent to domination. It will ask whether we would like this to be easier.

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 less, need less, and quietly adapt themselves downward to whatever the system has decided is efficient. In other words, lunch is no longer lunch. Lunch is now a behavioral workshop run by capital, and apparently the syllabus is greasy.

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 colonization, modulation, and the changing conditions under which thought now takes shape.

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 Alienation 2.0, where individuals are estranged from their own internal decision-making processes before they can even consciously reflect on them. By synthesizing Marxist theory with modern neuroscience and cognitive psychology, the text outlines a struggle to maintain human agency against systems designed to make automated compliance feel like comfort. Ultimately, the sources advocate for the defense of friction—such as delay and opacity—as a necessary political resistance against total behavioral management.

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 historical roots of Western ideology, particularly the influence of Judaism, Christianity, and the Norman Conquest of England. This source argues that modern ideas about equality, progress, and liberal democracy stem from a long and often-unacknowledged conflict between biological and post-biological evolution, culminating in the possibility of a technological singularity. The author contends that the conflicts between Jews, Christians, and Normans have shaped Western thought and political institutions in ways that we often fail to recognize.

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 artificial nature, grappling with fabricated memories and questioning the nature of their own existence. In parallel, we discuss the ethical implications of creating sentient AI and the responsibilities humanity may bear toward such entities. Inspired by The Manifesto of Romius T., we invite you to consider: can we make AI truly conscious, and if so, what would that mean for both human and artificial beings?

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 yourself credit for!

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

I talk about what Incel Culture and the Men's Rights movement have in common with the Science of Evolutionary Psychology.  What they get right and what they get wrong.  I discuss David Buss' book Men behaving badly the hidden roots of sexual deception, harassment and violence. Other topics include the friend zone, the controversy over Sociobiolgy and Evolutionary Psychology, the replication crisis in social sciences, sex differences between the sexes, mating strategies, causes of infidelity, internet dating, the dark triad of personality , polygyny, possible solutions to men behaving badly and much much more!

Two weird guys. We talk about a bunch of  stuff.

Today's episode features our deconstruction of pretty privilege. We talk about it's connection with the solitary individual and a possible future of female dominated dystopia. 

This episode celebrates over 200 downloads since the creation of this podcast.  I tell you to anticipate a few upcoming co hosts.  Segment one is titled, "The loneliness of the long Covid 19 summer aka Do we all have to die? Anti-natalism and over population. Segment 2 features the end of the world guide to hating yourself and everything else!

What does Jordan Peterson, Daniel Bell, American exceptionalism, social character, minimum wage work, and the coming financial cliff have in common? They'll all be featured on a special bonus edition of the next end of the world podcast. *bonus edition with revised and edited script and rerecorded first segment

What does low sperm count, men's rights movement, global warming, cloning, UFO disclosure, virus technology, Bill Gates, Male Gender Extermination, Tom Cruise, artificial intelligence, and the robotic overthrow have in common? The UFO agenda is explained. Warning this information may BLOW YOUR MIND!!!!!

There is an intergalactic conspiracy headed by Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise , and Bill Gates to exterminate the male population in order to prevent the invention of Of Artificial Intelligence that develops robots that would accidentally extinguish every life form in the know universe!  

 Revenge of the system. Don't worry about paying for this podcast, and things only get worse for you! Background music has been added, I've turned it all the way down but it might be too loud still....I'm speaking low because it's late at night!
