In this episode we cover:

Aaron is back, and this time we're talking about his book, Project Nimrod. I told him how much I rated it, and asked why he swapped podcasting for writing. His answer: fiction lets him say things about technocracy, surveillance and the biosecurity state that people would switch off from if he said them plainly, and it works. I highly recommend it, it challenges you to confront systems of control and the cost of compliance.

We get into how storytelling has always shaped culture, and how it is being used now to normalise digital ID, surveillance capitalism and the slow drip of a "new normal." As I always say, convenience is not convenient to your health.

We go deeper into false idols and why we hand our power to whoever promises to save us. My message stays the same: do not bow down to anyone, see the divine in yourself first. And a reminder that real resistance looks less like doom scrolling and more like putting your hands in the dirt.

Loved having Aaron back. Trilogy incoming.

Thank you for being here, enjoy the episode.
