The Tech Billionaire Doomsday Preachers (E346)
🕑 Added 2025-10-29 04:45:45 +0000 UTCWhy do tech oligarchs keep proclaiming that the end is nigh? From Elon Musk warning of the civilizational-level threat of the “woke mind virus,” to Marc Andreessen declaring that “any deceleration of AI will cost lives,” to Peter Thiel’s fixation with the Antichrist, billionaires are insistent that the stakes of their ventures are nothing short of apocalyptic.
To better understand the paranoia of Silicon Valley overlords, Travis, Jake, and Julian are joined by Chris Marquis, Sinyi Professor of Chinese Management at the University of Cambridge and author of the book The Profiteers: How Business Privatizes Profits and Socializes Costs.

Very disappointed Julian and Jake didn't make fun of Travis' pronunciation of Harbinger given their love of Path of Exile
Dustin Jutras
