Shane Cashman #1466
Summary
Shane Cashman, author of "Good Villains," joins to discuss Big Tech's capture of the MAGA movement, arguing that figures like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are transactional rather than ideological. The conversation covers the "Stargate" project, AI's role in creating a new "victim class" to erode free speech, and the parallels between current energy crises and the 2020 pandemic. Cashman also shares his story of leaving New York for West Virginia, reflecting on the collapse of academic freedom and the need for local, community-based resistance against technological dystopia.
