Cory Doctorow — returning champion, friend of the show, and author of the new novel Red Team Blues — joins us to chat about fiction (science), finance (crypto), forensics (accounting), and much more. You never knew forensic accounting could be so radical and thrilling, but Red Team Blues is an immanent critique of techno-financial capitalism in the guise of a page ripping novel. We cover a lot of ground, all of it fascinating, as we always do when Cory comes on TMK.

257. Red Team Blues (ft. Cory Doctorow)

Julian decides to put five years of QAA knowledge to the test. In the process of detangling a redpilled Roku channel called “Burrow”, he discovers something horrifying: an online lecture course that aims to help pilled students ‘energize their brand’.  In the midst of learning how to “not sound so crazy” as to turn away friends and family, the gang begins to uncover a bitter feud between Burrow’s original founders. This is a melted world that blends Q Anon with maddening marketing jargon, and it all culminates with a twelve-question multiple choice exam which Julian must take in order to unlock a secret webpage. With Julian’s extensive knowledge of the deeply pilled, twelve questions should be a piece of cake, right?

We talk about the history of AI by drawing out the often very explicit millenarianism that undergirds so much of this technology and its culture over the last 70 years. This strange brew of Eschatological Evangelism and Technological Theology has sustained a cultish faith in AI’s ability to bring about a New Age.

A sampler platter of an ep as we talk about the Super Bowl, China’s “totalitarian” COVID response, the proudboy to Fed pipeline, and Nevada’s new proposal to allow blockchain companies to form municipal governments. Finally, we do our quarterly check-up on Rod Dreher to learn how he’s definitely NOT being blackmailed over pornography but definitely IS a stoolie.
