In this conversation, the boys discuss the cultural implications of Kendrick Lamar's performance at the Super Bowl halftime show, addressing the backlash against representation in media. They explore the themes of control, freedom of speech, and societal reactions to race and identity.

The discussion then shifts to a debate about technology, specifically an AI bird feeder, leading to a broader conversation about the future of artificial intelligence and its potential impact on humanity. In this conversation, the boys delve into the competitive landscape of AI, discussing key players like Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Larry Ellison. They explore the ethical implications of AI development, personal perspectives on consciousness merging, and the potential risks associated with AI, including the gray goo problem.

The boys couldn’t get together this week to record The WellRED podcast  because of travel schedules, but rather than have no episode or throw up an old episode, I decided to talk about one of my favorite periods in history: The Civil War. More specifically, the plot to kill Lincoln right after the war ended

Enjoy this hour plus stream of consciousness rant with no breaks and no notes detailing the assassination, plot to overthrow the government, the man hunt, and finally the military tribunal of the conspirators.. (Time Stamps Below!)

Also feel free to fact check me and tell me what I got wrong!
