Buckle up for a wild ride through the digital apocalypse with Katherine Dee, where influencers are dying, AI’s churning out slop, and Substack’s the artisanal Etsy of writing in a world drowning in fluff. From the collapse of legacy media to TikTok as "digital fentanyl," she’s got the scoop on how we’re all losing our humanity to screens—yet craving real connection so bad we’re anthropomorphizing our toasters. Touch grass or go transhuman? Hollywood’s fleeing LA, kids are Wild Westing online, and nobody beats Gen X when it comes to phone brain rot. It’s a postmodern nightmare where there’s no such thing as "too soon" in the face of memeing tragedy—dive in, because this future’s weirder than you think.

Professional poker player, physicist, and general badass, Liv Boeree, sits down with Bridget for a fascinating conversation about the mind games of poker, where intuition meets math, how game theory shapes everything from philanthropy to AI ethics, and the paradoxes of AI consciousness. They discuss being pathologically competitive, beating the boys at their own games, how everyone’s an egalitarian until they get the power, pig farmers, China, audience capture, the magic of Burning Man, playing to win vs. playing to play, and an outsider’s perspective on understanding how the American culture led to Trump.

Bridget sits down with Curtis Yarvin, political theorist and writer formerly known as Mencius Moldbug. They discuss the road that brought Curtis to this point, his debate with Ilya Shapiro, whether capitalism requires democracy, whether oligarchs are more concerned with the outcomes of power rather then power itself, the Arab Spring, debating “isms”, why he believes the most peaceful and stable form of government is the monarchy, the truth about revolutions, why he’s selective about his conspiracy theories, the Great No, the power of the executive branch, and why all Libs are basically conformists.
