We chat about the role of evolutionary psychology - interesting factoids or unbreakable iron destiny? - about the cascading to hell effects of app dating algorithms, about polyamory as a luxury belief, about the probability that we'll see an incel-led insurgency, and a lot more. His recommended subversive thinker is Roger V. Gould with the book "Collision of Wills", where he "argues that human conflict is more likely to occur in symmetrical relationships—among friends or social equals—than in hierarchical ones, wherein the difference of social rank between the two individuals is already established.

This is a cozy podcast in the wake of the Capitol riots, featuring the formidable poaster also known as Kashiwagi @kwamurai. We talk about the Capitol riots as a reason for optimism and/or sheer terror, marketing memes, the influence of the fringes, face-posting vs. being anonymous & how things could shift with the rise of a new counter-elite. I'm being interviewed just as much in this one -  I tell the story of my time at Vice, the monoculture of Tech, ethnic tensions in Romania, and how we stumbled onto the darkness of fringe politics.
