10. Capital Bending and Gray Market Futures w/ Chairman Birb

Exploring financial speculation, medical self-experimentation, and why some people bet on radically different futures.

I'm joined by Chairman Birb Bernanke (@bonecondor), pseudonymous crypto twitter cryptid, event organizer, and founder of The Secret Soup Company. We trace the strange currents of speculation as culture, from meme coins and financial nihilism to the art of "capital bending" where attention becomes money and money becomes momentum.

Birb shares her personal experiments with gray-market biotech, DIY peptide regimens, and the shifting line between treatment and enhancement. We talk about "jester's privilege" online, the embodied politics of the squishy future, and how group chats are mutating into a new kind of social infrastructure.

Along the way we cover irradiated cat boogers, Powerball retirement plans, soup as social theory, and why liquidity (financial or social) might be the only ingredient you really need for the future.
