Following an initial reading of "How To Keep an Open Mind", a Princeton Press book of translations of Sextus Empiricus by Richard Bett, I pivot to ask Nuvix (voice of Perplexity's search model) about skepticism in social media, religion, and politics.

What do you think? Are we seeing more or less skepticism in debate today? Comment on YouTube and discuss! And share with others who might have an opinion on this topic.

We sit down again with Perplexity to discuss and think critically about paying taxes. Why do we do it? What does AI pull from in terms of sources? We find out that, when you ask the opposite - why do people not pay taxes - AI tends to pull from less-than-academic sources. But the opposite question is an opinion anyway. Paying taxes is as inevitable as death. But is it just to make someone else rich or let people be lazy? Let's think through that.

The first Ask the Internet segment was... well... a lot about AI, a rant about ADHD and memory, some sprinklings of human experience, and a little mind map of why frogs are slimy. Seems too random? It's just getting started.

Joe invites Fizgig on for a two-hoat interview to discuss the role of men in online spaces. From toxic masculinity to over corrections from patriarchy-smashing, the definition of man is still evolving. And through ChatGPT and the duo's analytical banter, we locate the next steps in man's evolution in society.

This episode music and sound effects were self-produced by RepeaterSignal Media and Joe Ryder.

A short satirical skit depicting the morning sermon broadcast of the holy church of Trumptopia. If we weren't laughing, we'd be crying.

This is Mark 1 of a series of dive logs on Getting Internet Rich.

Divemaster Fizgig takes us through the new audio-focused format of the dive logs, this time discussing the internet's fascination with the rich and powerful. From the Musks and Tates of the world to the flaunting of wealth for clout, ogling over the playboys and playgirls is a pastime we share, despite most people claiming being wealthy is not the most important thing in life.

The election of 2024 will be memorable, but how does the Internet influence political decisions? Trolling, shutdown tactics, and the self-righteous vanquishing of dark forces create polarization in online discourse. Through the lens of Diwali, we explore how we attempt to win victory over darkness, showcase knowledge over ignorance, and asset good over evil. Or... Maybe we just survive the divisions of our society. That would be awesome, too.

A discussion around speech, communication, and the internet as a conversation medium. We ask ChatGPT, the mouth of the internet, what it thinks about speech and communication.

This one has been brewing for a while. I will work on being less long-winded and throw in some shorter episodes, but have lots brewing this first season. If you like what you see, subscribe for future episodes and share it around. If you don't comment and tell me what you disagreed with. I can take it.

With multiple celebrities dead and searches of them flooded with sites capitalizing on memorials, we dive into the world of immortality on the internet. This shallow but thoughtful exploration is more of a rant than an essay. The opinions here are my own and respect is due to those who treat death and those who've died differently.

A few dive log marks from the divemaster, looking to gather the divers for a future of thoughtful expeditions into the murky brine of memes, sensationalism, misinformation and advertising. Maybe this way, we keep a close watch on these brains of ours and avoid being The Maw's breakfast.

After months of preproduction and preparation, RepeaterSignal Media presents the inaugural episode of my new podcast, The Internet Ate My Baby!!! This first episode is meant to either be listened to or watched, and it's worth trying both. Share with your friends! This is only the first dive into what I'm trying to share with the world.
