Harry Potter & The Rationality of Dumbledore's Hole : Do You Really Wanna Live Forever?
It's a big one, prayer warriors and pay pigs. Kenny and Virgil are headed down Dumbledore's Hole into the Realm of Singularity and the School of Less Wrong, a theory that may or may not have been invented by a published fanfic writer who is so terrified of death that he takes 100 pills a day. Joined by the level-headed economics understander, Greg of Gorilla Radio Show, the trio take a gander at a world filled with rouge AI, rationalism, atheist movements, private islands, "think tanks", libertarians, rational polyamory, Harry Potter, Jeffrey Epstein connections, and Grimes. All to find out one question: why are the richest, self-labeled autodidacts so afraid of their own machines?

Big Soy Naturals
Big Soy Naturals is the only podcast by people who can gaze into the abyss without fear. The abyss never gazes back at us, out of respect. Esteemed public intellectual Virgil Masters and disgraced e-celebrity Kendall Kennedy explore the labyrinth of cyberspace with incisive eyes, quick wits and 300 IQ brains. It takes proprietary magic, thorough research and the immortal science to peer behind the veil of the negaverse, and we do it with ease. Join us as we unearth truths and triumph over evil. Produced by LAIN.
