“All it takes is the political will or the political mistake to turn it on. And it's there.”

John Robb flew Tier 1 special operations, built tech companies, and now maps how surveillance scales. His assessment: every piece of a totalitarian AI system already exists. An AI assigned to every person. Real-time manipulation. Automated punishment. All assembled by corporations building normal products.

What stops it, according to Robb? Not much. Not Bitcoin. Not encryption.

What individuals can do: pair with AI now, control it locally, stop feeding centralized systems your intelligence.

NEW EPISODE

“The big concern is the emailification of Bitcoin.”

@Aaron van Wirdum spent 13 years covering Bitcoin and wrote The Genesis Book tracing its lineage back to DigiCash in the 90s. His warning: the protocol survives, but everyone interacts through custodial middlemen. SMTP still exists. Nobody runs their own mail server.

We talk pre-Bitcoin failures, the block size wars, mining centralization, and why incremental regulation is a bigger threat than a 51% attack.

Jason Hughey and the team @Satoshi Pacioli Accounting are on a mission to show what's possible when you lead with principles and virtue, not value-espousing posters on a wall.

NEW EPISODE

Enron had “integrity” on the wall. FTX didn't bother. Both collapsed.
Jason Hughey on why organizational betrayal isn't random—it's designed in. The same signal suppression that starved Soviet grocery stores is happening in your company's Slack channels.

His fix: Principle Based Management. Hire for virtue over talent. Let decisions flow to people with local knowledge. Stop treating employees like resources.

S03E02: Companies Don't Keep Promises. People Do.

“Love all, trust a few,
Do wrong to none: be able for thine enemy
Rather in power than use; and keep thy friend
Under thy own life's key: be check'd for silence,
But never tax'd for speech.”

― William Shakespeare, All's Well That Ends Well

Spotify and Apple combined hold 30% of podcast listeners.

Joe Rogan took $100M to go exclusive on Spotify. For two years, he was invisible to 70% of his potential audience. Couldn't be shared. Couldn't go viral—while watching Lex and Huberman fill the gap.

Then he reversed it.
