    The Golden Age of Unseriousness

    Welcome back to the Plausibly Deniable experience. In this episode, we dive into why pickleball is the new run club scam , the reality of the "fraud-shaped economy" , and the impossible task of gatekeeping luxury goods. We break down why Apple is selling you a bucket of spare parts , the absolute un-seriousness of billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Brian Johnson , and why Filipino clip farms are actually pulling the strings of global culture. Plus, we cover wild Polymarket bets , the superiority of the French counter-signal , and why you need to stop being a W2 employee immediately to start writing off your life.

    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.
