EP.015: FrankenWurst

Episode 15 opens with a week of stitches and a loose tooth. Regulators shoot down a plan to cut data centers off first when the grid runs short, the White House puts up $25 million for fraud tips, and Snickers sells a candy bar for your chatbot. A report says the Pentagon set up a secret office to sabotage foreign tech, China aims for the Moon by 2030, and U.S. murders fall to a seventy-year low. A bleached coral heals just by touching its healthy twin, and a fusion startup says it can turn mercury into gold. A French activist gets the Wood Chipper Award, Brussels warns about weaponized migration, and Ali G is back. Then the second half opens two UN rulebooks most people never read: Codex Alimentarius, the book of food, and Agenda 21, the book of land. It covers the vitamin war, the Nazi origin story, lab-grown egg in the grocery aisle, 15-minute cities and "you'll own nothing," and ends with Washington walking out of the UN while Europe sets its own limits on vitamins.

Episode 15 opens with a week of stitches and a loose tooth. Regulators shoot down a plan to cut data centers off first when the grid runs short, the White House puts up $25 million for fraud tips, and Snickers sells a candy bar for your chatbot. A report says the Pentagon set up a secret office to sabotage foreign tech, China aims for the Moon by 2030, and U.S. murders fall to a seventy-year low. A bleached coral heals just by touching its healthy twin, and a fusion startup says it can turn mercury into gold. A French activist gets the Wood Chipper Award, Brussels warns about weaponized migration, and Ali G is back. Then the second half opens two UN rulebooks most people never read: Codex Alimentarius, the book of food, and Agenda 21, the book of land. It covers the vitamin war, the Nazi origin story, lab-grown egg in the grocery aisle, 15-minute cities and "you'll own nothing," and ends with Washington walking out of the UN while Europe sets its own limits on vitamins.
