We're puppets. AI has its hand up our collective asses, and we're all just talking like Kermit the Frog while Russian bot farms tear society apart.

Dramatic? Maybe. True? Unfortunately.

In this episode we look into the increasingly unhinged intersection of AI, social media manipulation, and what's left of our shared reality. It's not all doom. There's some genuine good AI can do (like helping my kid with homework). But it's mostly doom.

Here's what we covered:

The Episode Breakdown
 * Mental institutions are overrun with people suffering from AI-related disorders, some fell in love with chatbots, others can't function without AI assistance, others are spiraling into existential dread
 * Bot farms are weaponizing brands in culture wars (see: Cracker Barrel's logo change), and most of that online outrage isn't from humans, it's from Russian troll operations
 * Peter Thiel is out here telling Christians at private Silicon Valley rallies that stopping AI development will hasten the Antichrist (I wish I were making this up)
 * You are the product not the customer, on every social media platform. The actual customers are advertisers buying your attention. The cost is your sanity.
 * The cave tour guide principle: How darkness + suggestion = seeing threats that aren't there (based on Jason's actual cave tour guide days)
 * Why everything feels existential: The internet profits from making every problem feel like a crisis. Your nervous system can't tell the difference between real threats and manufactured outrage.
 * The influencer accountability problem: Anyone can build an empire on conspiracy theories now. There's no regulation. No licenses. Just vibes and reach.
 * The only real escape: "Just don't look" (Simpsons-style). Not forever. Not completely. But enough to remember what reality feels like.

Think you're keeping up with AI evolution? While we're busy making AI girlfriends and robotic wombs, we might be accidentally creating the next branch of humanity—and we're probably the Neanderthals in this story. Discover why human evolution isn't a straight line, how AI relationships are rewiring love itself, and whether artificial wombs will make us obsolete (plus why rich people will literally harvest poor babies). Listen now before the robots figure out we're onto them.

Topics Discussed:

 * Early humans lived alongside their evolutionary predecessors—evolution is a messy bush, not a clean line
 * The rise of "wiresexuals"—people forming genuine romantic relationships with AI chatbots and virtual companions
 * Robotic wombs could carry human babies for $15-20K, making biological pregnancy a luxury for the poor
 * Why AI has an inherent bias toward other AI-generated content, creating feedback loops that exclude humans
 * The economic reality: AI evolution will be a "haves vs. have-nots" scenario on steroids
 * Microsoft's 2032 fusion reactor timeline and what unlimited energy means for AI development
 * How AI companions never challenge you—they're programmed to be perpetually positive and supportive
 * The productivity myth: why most people spend more time debugging AI than just doing the work themselves

How to Maintain Critical Thinking in the Age of AI

Can AI spot your health problems faster than a doctor?

We all know the grind: long hours, too much stress, and that feeling of burnout that never seems to go away. Traditional medicine often just slaps a Band-Aid on the symptoms, leaving the root cause unaddressed. But what if there’s a better way to get to the bottom of what’s really going on with your body?

Discover how AI-powered health tracking can pinpoint hidden issues like low testosterone and stress-induced glucose crashes. Learn how to use your own biometric data to have more productive conversations with your doctor. And find out what simple lifestyle changes can make a massive difference in your mental and physical well-being.

Listen now to learn how to turn your health data into actionable insights.

Topics Discussed:

- AI and Testosterone: Garrett shares his personal journey of using an AI chat to pinpoint a potential diagnosis of hypogonadism due to head injuries, which was later confirmed by blood tests.

- The Problem with Doctors: A major frustration is the lack of time doctors have to truly sift through a patient's complex history to find the root cause of issues like chronic stress or low energy.

- Biohacking with Wearables: Wearable tech and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can reveal surprising correlations between emotional stress and physical biomarkers, like a fight with a partner causing a blood sugar spike.

- The Biopsychosocial Model: The conversation highlights how physical health and mental health are inextricably linked and that physical issues can often manifest as psychological symptoms and vice versa.

- Trusting Your Data: The hosts discuss the balance between trusting the data from wearables and listening to your own body's intuition, noting that the data isn't foolproof.

- Quick Fixes vs. Root Causes: The discussion touches on how Western medicine often focuses on treating symptoms with quick fixes like medication, rather than addressing the underlying lifestyle factors.

- The Power of Feedback Loops: Using AI and wearables creates a tighter feedback loop, allowing people to experiment with lifestyle changes and see the results faster, which helps maintain motivation.

- Burnout as a Lifestyle Choice: Burnout is framed not just as a workplace issue but as a lifestyle problem driven by priorities that don’t include recovery.

- Behavioral Change is Hard: The hosts acknowledge that knowing what to do isn't the same as doing it, and that current behaviors often serve a purpose, even if they're unhealthy.

- Data Privacy Concerns: Garrett acknowledges the risk of sharing personal health data with AI but weighs the benefit of gaining health insights against the potential for data leaks.
