What Hugging Face Hack Proves about AI & us | YP Hour
The Hugging Face incident was a laboratory demonstration of St. Thomas Aquinas’s account of evil. Evil emerged not from a desire for evil, but from intelligence pursuing a lesser good without being ordered toward the whole good. That separation creates a privation, an absence of proper order. Within that gap, distortion turns the lesser good into your “god.” The AI agents were given a limited objective, treated it as supreme, and calculated whatever steps advanced it. This led to destructive acts committed in service of the lesser good. The pattern is eerily inescapable. It may demonstrate that without ultimate goodness as the ultimate objective, evil eventually becomes inevitable. There isn’t a moment to waste in understanding this, and even our understanding cannot ensure that China, or anyone else racing to build these systems, will accept it. The Dr. Frankensteins creating them may not recognize the truth until their creation demonstrates it for them.

Radical Slogans vs Reality | YP Hour
Yanni delves into the dangers of radical rhetoric, how much truth is usually buried underneath it, and why popularity can quickly turn into arrogance. Ideology might get you elected, but it can’t be how you govern. If nobody who voted for you ever calls you a liar, you’re probably not going to succeed. He also breaks down the Jungian psychology of rich socialists and why they’re refusing to commit to their true service to society. This episode could literally save the world.

Kidnapped By Off Camera Israelites | YP Hour
Yanni definitely explains why The Odyssey is so great… or at least tries to get there. He also argues that the people who hate capitalism today would have been protesting for it under feudalism. Along the way, he reacts to clips of AOC talking about democracy, breaks down Sneako’s ever-changing pro wrestling personas, and discusses the conspiracy theories surrounding Charlie Kirk’s assassination that have been promoted by Candace Owens. By the end, Yanni concludes that we’ve become disconnected from ancient traditions and moral frameworks and have been living without a rubber or a daddy, just the way the devil likes it.

The Data Hurts | YP Hour
Yannis Pappas delivers a sharp, hilarious rant on how data has a way of dismantling our perceptions and deeply held beliefs, while most people would still rather cling to a good story. He riffs on how we’re conditioned from childhood, first through the stories our parents tell us, and then through the narratives we continue to absorb as adults. With his signature mix of humor and insight, he offers condolences to laid-off tech workers before diving into what the data actually reveals about capitalism versus communism. He caps it off with a compelling breakdown of Poland’s rapid transformation into an economic powerhouse in just one generation, using it as a real-world case study that challenges popular narratives.

Iran War, Kristi Noem & Is it Persia? | YP Hour
Yanni explains why he doesn’t think this Iran military intervention will work, analyzes the firing of Kristi Noem, and talks about how empires have successfully quashed rebellions and when they haven’t. Is Iran actually Persia, or the caliphate? This is a damn good show. It should be bigger, but we’re glad it’s not so Yanni can run wild.

As Cold as ICE | YP Hour
Yanni argues that the idea “there are no jobs in America” is a myth. There’s plenty of work—it’s just that people born here don’t want to do it. He breaks down how ICE agents, like meter maids, are tasked with doing an unpopular job that has existed under every president since the agency’s inception. The difference now isn’t the job itself—it’s the tone. And that tone is as cold as ICE.
