Now We Consume

Tonight we’re going deep into the official U.S. Government records of the Patent Vault, where inventors, and even the military, get legal protection for some of the wildest, darkest ideas imaginable.

We’re not talking unfiled mad-scientist notes. These are granted patents with numbers you can Google right now on patents.google.com. Many of these read like they were ripped straight from a conspiracy forum: remote mind control, voices beamed into your skull, weather as a weapon, hidden signals in your TV and phone.

This one is a little out there, and coming from us, that's saying something.

The Patent Numbers referenced in this Episode - US4686605A, US6506148B2, US5159703A, US3951134A, US6470214B1, US6587729B2, US6011991A, US6017302A, US6238333B1, US4616261A, US6091994A, US5123899A, US4395600A, US7784390B1, US9504419B2, US7490538B2. From the Honorable mention list - US3335A, US3216423A, US1749090A, US6293874B1, US4344424A. The Victorian Anti-Self "use" items were scattered around under various numbers so a generalized reference was used.

The world is unrecognizable compared to a few weeks ago. We have military forces forward deployed in active combat, primaries in the books, and for the first time in decades, there are no limits on the world's nuclear arsenals. We aren't here to give you the party line—we’re here to look at the people behind the curtains, and the decisions being made that affect you.

Tune in as we hold the line as the world starts to burn, while all logic goes out the window.

Everything you see is held together by a single thread of proprietary code or a supply chain that’s currently in a tailspin. We feel in control because we can click 'Order,' but what happens when the order never comes?

We’re living on borrowed time. We’ve traded our ability to survive in the physical world for the convenience of a digital one. Tonight, we’re dissecting the Hands-On Gap—the terrifying reality that we are becoming guests in our own lives.

In 2026, a 2.8% COLA bump feels like a participation ribbon while groceries and utilities make it look and feel like peanuts. The Dollar is tanking to 4-year lows, imports are getting pricier—folks aren't choosing off-grid for the sake of vibes; it's wallet and personal survival.

Tonight Pip fly's solo and goes down the rabbit hole on why things are and have been getting so bad, and what you can do about it.

In 2026, dumb, less connected tech is the latest flex. In a world that's "Always On", many people are opting for the option to turn all of it off.

This week, we discuss why that movement is gaining traction, and what it means for different industries.

In Tonight's episode, we discuss not only the possibility of being able to tap into another version of you from a parallel universe, but how the tech to do it is actually hitting the market in it's earliest forms.

"Rest in Peace" used to be the final word. In 2026, the industry is saying "Stay in the Stack."

​We’re officially in the era of the $36M Digital Immortality market. With companies like You, Only Virtual and Uare.ai, we are no longer consuming memories—we are consuming simulations.

​But as California’s new AI disclosure laws kick in this month, we have to ask: at what point does "comfort" become "denial as a service"?

​In this episode, we'll be discussing:

​The rise of "Thanabots"

​Why "Second Death" (startup bankruptcy) is the new digital trauma.

​How to reclaim your "Right to be Forgotten."
