My friend Remus and I spend 2 hours giving the backstory of the "golden era" of gaming, roughly the 2000-2010 and how it all went to hell. We only got about halfway through the actual chronology of GamerGate and didn't even touch on its (horrible) legacy, so stay tuned for part 2.

While I support Trump, I’m not a cultist or die hard, and my show rarely criticizes him. I harbor grave misgivings about the people he’s surrounded by, and my hope is that Trump subjugates them to his cult of personality and his will. Ultimately, I am optimistic about the future with Trump as president. I do feel the valid criticisms of Trump need to be aired, and I strongly dislike his critics from the right or the left. In my opinion, Michael Tracey is the most honest and informed critic of Trump who doesn’t seem to have an ideological chip on his shoulder. In other words I support Trump from what I like to think is the same position whence Tracey criticizes him: unaffiliated with any party or ideology. I strongly encourage you to read his pieces criticizing Trump and his aids, and follow the links in these essay to his work throughout the year.

Is Donald Trump a Neocon?

Pete Hegseth, a “Recovering Neocon?”

The Great RFK Bamboozle of 2024 (highly recommended for those who are, like me, former libertarians)

Here is the singing of the Israli national anthem at Mar-a-Lago we reference 

My guest J Burden, a podcast host in his own right, and I discuss how Elon Musks purchase of Twitter changes the environment for national political discussions. Not only does it allow truly "dissident" and conservative ideas to percolate and gain a foothold in the national conversation around politics, it exposes the bad actors whose political capital is rapidly drying up. My sincerest hope is that J joins me again very soon to continue this conversation.

The Genesis Offensive is the creation of a new human being at the expense of what we once understood as “human being.” The new human is a creation of digital technology, and the first offensive on our understanding of what it means to be human is on the psyche. How does digital technology change how we understand ourselves and how we relate to each other? What is created, and what is lost?

This conversation is deeply couched in the ideas of the thinkers we discuss and the previous work of myself and my guest. You must read our work and listen to our prior episodes in order to understand the context of these ideas. 

First, read “Ghosts of the Digital Dimension” and “Genesis Offensive” 

Then read “Digital Horizons” and listen to my episode “Demonology of the Internet” and make sure to follow us on Substack!!!!

*Quick correction. When I was explaining how new media “contains” old media, I said Greek drama contains Greek rhetoric. I misspoke, the Greek Drama contains myth.
