    How to Make Friends and Influence People (Dark Triad Edition)

    We discuss why ruining your life might actually be the best thing for you, the insane cope of the modern gender wars, and why people are paying hundreds of dollars to learn how to pull their jaws with their thumbs. We also break down the fake geopolitical wars padding out the news cycle, the $70 million tech parties for employees doing literally nothing, and the Twitter files revealing the FBI's obsession with deleting 20-follower accounts.Later, we get into the absolute state of AI: why Microsoft Copilot is holding back human progress, Elon Musk's Grok bending the knee to furries, and the $100 billion Game of Thrones drama between Sam Altman and Dario Amodei. Plus, why therapy is an epic fake job, the Ozempic meltdown in the fitness influencer community, and why you should just buy a Citizen X passport to escape it all.

    The $70 Trillion Audit: How Beaver Used AI to Uncover Mass Government Fraud (and make $1M USD)

    In this episode, we sit down with Beaver (@beaver_d on X), the investigative mind behind Somali Scan, a platform dedicated to tracking federal and state spending that was previously "obfuscated" by archaic government portals. Beaver explains how he utilized AI to process over 800 million rows of SQL data, tracking roughly $70 trillion in spending—a feat he claims would have required $5 billion and a small army of employees just five years ago.We explore the "four levels of bad" regarding taxation, the specific mechanics of NGO money laundering, and shocking case studies like Indiana's foster care system spending $1.4 billion annually on only 12,000 children. From the "article slop-ocalypse" on X to the "male-manipulator" coding of various AI models, this conversation is an unfiltered look at the intersection of technology, transparency, and political corruption.Sponsors:Polymarket.comZ.cashCitizenX.comNetwork.pressplausiblydeniable.orgLukas: x.com/SCHIZO_FREQSails: x.com/sailaunderscore00:00 — The Liquor License Moat: Why it’s harder to sell alcohol than peptides.02:04 — Intro: Meet Nick Allen, founder of Sovereign House.03:08 — The Rumors: CIA parents and Peter Thiel connections.04:35 — "Raccoon Mode" in Lisbon: Carrying a cardboard box through a 5-star restaurant.08:10 — The Airbnb Bot: How Nick gamed referral links for unlimited credit.13:16 — The Fire Marshal vs. The Superhost: Why Airbnb is illegal in NYC.18:10 — Why New York is still the only "Tier 1" city.23:00 — The Founding of Sovereign House: Restoring the 1960s aesthetic.32:10 — "Additive" vs. "Subtractive" Contrarians.39:09 — The Kierkegaard Quote: Why modern journalism "levels" the world.51:58 — Legend of the Guest List: From Reason Magazine to the man who shot Reagan.01:03:29 — Esoteric Real Estate: Why elevators kill the vibe and lighting matters.01:09:10 — The "No Chairs" Rule: Forcing social fluidity.01:21:43 — The Tragedy of Legacy Clubs: Dying members and $35k fees.01:32:49 — Rain: Nick Allen’s next project for the "10,000 People" who matter.

    We're saving Brazil

    Lukas and Sails sit down with Renan Santos—the strategist behind the Free Brazil Movement (MBL) and current Brazilian presidential candidate. Renan shares the incredible story of how he "hostilely acquired" a leftist riot by convincing the police he was the leader, effectively stealing the momentum of his political rivals.We dive deep into the mechanics of Brazilian power, from the corrupt police systems of the interior to the "fitness girl" scandals currently rocking the nation’s highest offices. Renan outlines his radical vision for Brazil’s future, including a plan to "exterminate" the very concept of the favela, reform an education system that has left kids unable to read, and navigate a world where realpolitik has replaced the post-war liberal order.Topics Covered:The Art of the Takeover: How Renan outmaneuvered leftist leaders to lead their own protests.The Break with Bolsonaro: Why the MBL moved away from the former president to build a new Right.Aesthetics & Power: Why the new generation of Brazilian conservatives is winning by abandoning "ugly" boomer aesthetics.Global Realpolitik: The impact of Trump, China’s "meritocratic" model, and Brazil's struggle for true sovereignty.Social Engineering: Radical takes on Ozempic, banning "billionaire vampire" romances, and restoring masculinity in the ghetto.Education Reform: Why Brazil is returning to phonics and militarized discipline in schools.Sponsors:Polymarket: The world’s largest prediction market.Citizen X: Secure your second passport and global mobility.Network Press: Cutting-edge media for a new era.plausiblydeniable.org
