#137 - Larry Sanger - Will AI Replace Wikipedia?
In this conversation, Larry Sanger explains how Wikipedia's governance structure allowed anonymous editors, activist groups, PR firms, and institutional power to capture what became the world's default source of truth. This isn't a culture-war rant. It's a structural explanation of how neutrality failed and why reform may no longer be possible. We discuss: – How Wikipedia was originally designed – Why expert review was rejected – Anonymous power and editor oligarchies – Activism, PR firms & source blacklists – Israel, Trump & political bias – Why "consensus" became enforcement – Whether AI will replace Wikipedia – Why Sanger belie...

#136 - Carl Benjamin - Nick Fuentes as a Symptom, Not a Cause
Carl Benjamin is a political commentator and cultural critic. This discussion focuses on diagnosis — not slogans — and on understanding consequences before they arrive. Young men aren't radicalising because of ideology, they're reacting to a world that no longer works for them. In this conversation with Carl Benjamin, we break down why the post-war consensus has collapsed, why politics feels illegitimate and why a generation feels pushed to the edge. In this episode we discuss: – Why young men feel shut out of the system – The collapse of the post-WWII consensus – Piers Morgan, Nick Fuentes, a...

PMQs #004 - I'm Withdrawing My Consent from the British State
I've reached an inflection point. I no longer believe Britain's political system can fix itself. This isn't about left vs right, Labour vs Conservative, or the next election. It's about unconstrained power, broken incentives and a system that rewards failure while hollowing out the next generation. In this PMQs episode, I explain why I'm withdrawing my consent from the British state and why so many young people have already done the same. This isn't apathy. It's a vote of no confidence. In this episode: – Why politicians care about only on...

#135 - Michael Green - The Benchmark That Broke America
Mike Green is a macro strategist known for his work on market structure, benchmark distortions, passive flows and systemic fragility. A single benchmark shaped American markets and policy for decades and economist Mike Green believes it distorted risk, inflated asset prices, weakened the middle class and misled policymakers about the true state of the economy. In this conversation, he breaks down how a flawed model became accepted as truth, how it quietly rewired incentives, and why he thinks the consequences are now impossible to ignore. In this episode we discuss: – What the "broken benchmark" ac...

#134 - Steve Keen - How Modern Economics Became Ideology
Modern economics is built on competing theories that often describe the world in very different ways. In this conversation, economist Steve Keen sets out his explanation for how money works, why he believes mainstream economic models fail, and why debt, banking and housing play a far greater role in economic crises than most policymakers acknowledge. Keen's perspective challenges the assumptions of neoclassical, Keynesian and Austrian economists alike. In this episode we discuss: – How economics became political ideology – Why neoclassical theory broke the West – The Left vs Right illusion in economic policy – What mon...

#133 - Karl-Friedrich Israel - Inflation, Inequality, Socialism & the Future of Europe
Inflation isn't an economic metric — it's a political tactic. When governments lie about inflation, they're not miscalculating; they're stealing from you. Economist Karl-Friedrich Israel explains how inflation quietly enriches asset holders, punishes workers and pushes Europe into a slow, silent decline. If your living standards are falling while politicians insist everything is fine, this conversation will make sense of it. If you still believe governments can print prosperity without consequences, you won't enjoy what follows. In this episode we discuss: – How inflation secretly taxes the poor – Why CPI hides the real cost of living...

PMQs #002 - Labour's Budget: Another Tax Raid on Working People
Labour's second budget is here and it's another full-blown tax raid. They've hit workers again, squeezed savers again, blown up the welfare bill again and still delivered nothing for business, growth or the people who actually drive the economy. If you earn, save, build or invest, Labour just came back for round two: punishing work, killing incentives and pushing the UK deeper into decline.

Bitcoin vs Gold with Peter Schiff - WBD242
Location: Zoom Date: Wednesday 15th July Role: CEO and Chief Global Strategist The reasons to hold either gold or Bitcoin are similar, yet the two assets possess different tradeoffs and risks. Bitcoiners often refer to Bitcoin as digital gold or gold 2.0, as they consider it a store of wealth like gold. Whether you prefer one asset or are a proponent of both, these assets help protect individuals against the broken fiat monetary system, inflation and a debt-based economy.
