Quinn Slobodian joins us to discuss his new book, Hayek’s Bastards (subtitle subtitle) - which traces the syncretic relationship of scientific racism, techno-solutionism, and the quest to destroy the cathedral to Neoliberalism’s crisis of mission in the 1990s.

It’s a goons rights bonanza, with Devon subbing in for November to talk about the ongoing wave of gig economy apps for ex-Navy SEALs to turn random people into clouds of pink mist on behalf of crypto influencers who want to look richer than they are… also we check in on Humane, and read a column by Rafael Behr. In the second half, Economist Nina Eichacker joins Riley half to talk tariffs (specifically) and how Wall Street’s “Masters of the Universe” traded their pre-eminent positions in capital markets for revenge on their woke, home-working employees (generally).

We talk about the Trump plan to bring stability to the Middle East by building hotels and casinos on top of the mass gravesite of an ethnically cleansed Gaza, and how it’s differences from the Biden plan are largely in its aesthetics. Also, the art of the deal in Ukraine, another cushy job in venture capital for an unqualified natsec goon (democrat), and what do you call a group of three or more people on the Labour Right… a WhatsApp scandal!

Nathan Tankus explains exactly what Musk and his little gremlins are doing at the treasury, and how this could have some pretty enormous implications for the national and global economies. Also - the killing of a sacred duck (in Venice), the spending of a sacred $30 (on eggs, by an A.I.), and the theft of a sacred suitcase (this is the last Miguel Arruda for a while, we promise…).

The outro music is Gamou-me a Mala no Aeroporto (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LwXfKN5Q90)

Jathan Sadowski joins the gang to talk about DOGE and the destruction of mass produced, population scale knowledge in favour of the mythical folkways of Uncle Knowledge. Also - Silicon Valley putting out cash prizes for stochastic terrorism, Starmer gets the PartyGate treatment for his voice (?) coach (???), and our favourite Portuguese politician Miguel Arruda ACTUALLY makes the government more efficient.

Liv Agar from QAAnonymous joins us to discuss the birth of Canadian nationalism, in that suddenly Albertans are booing the U.S. national anthem. Why? Well, Trump is moving forward with 25% tariffs on Canada, threatening Canada militarily (?), and managing to get extremely dumb-guy Canadian conservatives to disavow the US with the same vigor as they supported Bernard the Roughneck.

Ed Zitron returns to discuss how a Chinese hedge fund created an AI model that accomplished much of what OpenAI’s frontier model can do, and Sam Alrman’s best idea is to apply the “kind of gets it right sometimes” energy of LLMs to running your life. Also, grand theft luggage is rife in Lisbon airport, Masayoshi Son makes a bad investment, and Rupert Grint’s new app “Grinted” makes a splash.
