In 1966, two Brazilian men were found dead on Vintém Hill under bizarre circumstances that continue to perplex investigators and conspiracy theorists alike. Lying side by side, their bodies were discovered wearing matching lead masks—shields with no eyeholes—alongside cryptic notes. Were they victims of a cult ritual, a failed experiment, or something even more otherworldly?

Thug Putin Invades Ukraine 59:58

59:58

Under bullshit pretenses, thug Putin has invaded the democratic, free, sovereign, absolute right-to-exist Ukraine. This is just as much about China, as it is about Russia. This is just as much about Taiwan, as it is about Ukraine. Russia and China are evil. They seek to destroy the international rules based order. Enough is enough. Free and democratic nations everywhere must ally to face head on the existential threat match made in hell that is Russia and China. The free and just world is with you Ukraine, keep fighting.

55:46

Riff on Morgan Housel's excellent piece on how the US economy has developed post WWII. Shifting from a tide that raised all boats to one that increasingly raising only some. Also add analysis from The Economist showing social mobility in America is declining. Be careful of charlatans offering quick fixes. In an economic, business, and geopolitical landscape that looks like nothing we've ever dealt with- it's with a sober mind we must approach these discussions. Let's riff. Would love to hear from you.

45:28

In his latest memo Howard Marks covers how businesses and investing are changing, inflation and deflation, democracy in America, the role of the Fed, China, and my personal favorite- how the boomers fucked us.

Google Bids for DoD Contract 18:20

18:20

Google has entered the ring alongside Microsoft, Amazon, and Oracle to bid for Department of Defense's Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability contract. You may remember back in 2018 when Google employees protested Project Maven, a Google DoD AI project that among other things sought to increase the accuracy of drone strikes. Google did not renew that contract but now they are back in earnest. Good. China and Russia seek to destroy us and the rules based global order that has lead to the most progress in the history of humanity. We need our best companies and smartest minds on this.

Facebook Rebrands to Meta 28:58

28:58

Facebook announced they are renaming their company to "Meta" as they shift their focus to the metaverse (think VR). This is a seismic bet Zuckerberg is making. Something that only a founder would have the leeway to do. I'm skeptical but history is riddled with people who lost betting against Zuck. If anyone can do it, it's him. Strap in.

13:20

End to end encrypted messaging app Signal reveals Santa Clara County and California District Court subpoenaed them for user data. Once again they show that the only data they have on their users is their phone number, when they created their account, and when they last connected to Signal's servers. Truly a technological and cryptographic feat that they can provide such value to users and know so little about them. Signal continues to prove itself as the most secure messaging app. Would love to hear from you. Rate, comment, subscribe on Apple Podcasts and for the video edition- YouTube .

The House late Friday night passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act also known simply as the "Infrastructure Bill." This is the largest investment in America's infrastructure in over a decade and comes at a crucial time for democrats where Biden's popularity has been dropping and elections in Virginia and New Jersey have democrats shaken.

Riff on Dogecoin and latest meme coin Shiba Inu. Really, this just isn't that interesting. They are fun, bring people into crypto sure, but there isn't any hard tech or hard governance problems they are solving. Treat them as collectors items and move on. But shit you never know, my take could age horribly. Game on. Would love to hear from you. Rate, comment, subscribe on Apple Podcasts and for the video edition- YouTube .
