The Modern Man Podcast

Is artificial intelligence making men obsolete? In this episode, AI Founder and Deep Technologist Arthur Corvin-Powles reveals the terrifying truth about the "4th Big Bang" and why humanity might only have 2 years left before we are reined in by a superior intelligence.

We discuss the dark side of modern convenience: how "cheap dopamine" is destroying our ability to court women, why social media is isolating us, and the "Wall-E" future where humans become nothing more than pampered pets to a digital system. If you are feeling unfulfilled, addicted to instant gratification, or worried about the future of human connection, this conversation is the wake-up call you need.
