We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.

A powerful class of tech billionaires believes democracy is an obstacle — not a value.

From crypto empires and AI dominance to “network states” and effective altruism, a growing broligarchy envisions a future ruled by elites, insulated from accountability and untethered from democratic norms.

David Z. Morris — longtime technology and finance journalist and author of Stealing the Future: Sam Bankman-Fried, Elite Fraud, and the Cult of Techno-Utopia — joins the show to expose how Epstein’s elite network, Silicon Valley power players, and crypto utopians are reshaping politics in ways that threaten democratic institutions worldwide.

Appreciate that link. Thanks for that as a starting point.

I don't consider this an easy thing to research; the word gamergate itself becomes a verb/ adjective in the dialectic around the conversation very quickly. I've gone so far as to pull the entirety of the reddit archive from 2005-2022, which includes subs like r/kotakuinaction, r/antigamergate. There is a whole language and vocabulary these communities glommed on to, which for an outsider, is practically incomprehensible. I mean even this video you've posted (which I'm listening to as I respond) is already drifting into the phenomenology of logic and epistemology. Six minutes and they haven't even mentioned gamergate, and as soon as they do, there is this assumption I know what actually happened.

I would hardly call the topic of researching gamergate as easy. For example, very soon in the conversation we come into terms like "pro-gamergate" and "anti-gamergate"..

I mean...
