Philosopher, author, and co-host of Dystopia Now Émile Torres joins Bad Faith to discuss his coverage of Noam Chomsky & the Epstein files before engaging in a broader conversation about Big Tech titans' emphasis on a dystopian transhumanism that's rooted in eugenics and an unfounded faith in their own genetic superiority. How should the left compete with this Silicon Valley vision of the future? Does it look like Star Trek? Plur1bus? Or Bicentennial Man? Is human extinction necessarily bad if our moral "accounting" balances the beauty of humanity against our capacity for cruelty? A fascinating conversation you won't want to skip.

We’re sharing another podcast we think you’ll enjoy, The Big Short Companion from Against the Rules, hosted by fellow Pushkin podcast host Michael Lewis. The Big Short is now 15 years old and to mark the occasion, Lewis narrated a new audiobook version of The Big Short and is looking back on how the 2008 financial crisis still affects the world today. To make sense of Wall Street’s hangover from the crash described in The Big Short, Lewis calls up Matt Levine, author of the Money Stuff newsletter for Bloomberg Opinion. He’s also a former investment banker who was working at Goldman Sachs during the market crisis of 2008. He and Lewis talk about Bitcoin, bank regulation, and new forms of risk-taking—all ways Wall Street has changed since the crisis.
