Send us Fan MailWe talk with Alistair Mokhtar, a high school senior and author of The AI Dividend, about how AI could reshape jobs, wages, and opportunity if policy stays stuck in the past.

Send us Fan MailI read and react to the first 50 parts of the Book of Enoch from my Ethiopian Bible and explain why its themes feel missing from the Christian mainstream. I connect Enoch's harsh visions of judgment to modern cravings for justice and to my own honest confession that I have been drifting away from God. • why the Book of Enoch may have been removed and why that matters • Enoch's reputation as righteous and “taken” to heaven • archangels named directly and why that challenges some Christian comfort zones • the Watchers story, giants, and forbidden knowledge like sorcery and astrology • vivid imagery of punishment, separation of righteous and wicked, and “sorted” spirits • the “Son of Man” language and the debate over messianic meaning • frustration with real-world injustice and the hope of consequences beyond this life • my struggle with distraction, convenience, and rebuilding spiritual focus through prayer, meditation, and research Leave a you know a like if you're on YouTube, share this, subscribe, comment.

Send us Fan MailWe sort through three tech headlines with a human lens, starting with why the AI job apocalypse story is overstated and ending with how policy and prices shape everyday tech choices. We argue for learning AI skills without falling for fear marketing, support stricter limits for younger students, and question what counts as a fair “refund” when tariffs distort costs. • AI automating tasks rather than whole jobs • Rising compute and integration costs making full replacement harder • Why “AI literate” workers stay in high demand • Rehiring and the value of institutional knowledge • NYC restricting generative AI use for K to 8 students • Screen time limits and the case for protecting early learning • Letting teachers use AI for curriculum support but not grading • The challenge of stopping AI use at home without parent involvement • Nintendo's up to 30% sale tied to tariff related refunds • How tariffs and component demand push console prices up If you enjoy this episode, give a five-star review.

Send us Fan MailI pick up an Ethiopian Bible and wrestle with what it means when one Christian tradition preserves more books than the Bibles most Americans and Brits grow up with. I lay out the missing texts that grabbed me, why I think they were removed, and how chasing the “missing puzzle pieces” might actually pull me closer to God. • why the Ethiopian Bible stands out as a larger biblical canon • the list of missing books I'm most curious about, including Enoch, Jubilees and Psalms 151 • what those texts can add, including more detail, more characters and more spiritual context • my theories on why certain writings were removed during canon debates and the Reformation • why censorship makes people more curious and more suspicious • giving Ethiopians credit for preserving texts many churches did not • how the Book of Enoch connects to fallen angels, Nephilim and forbidden knowledge • why I prefer spiritual instincts, meditation and careful interpretation over denomination wars • my critique of organised religion, judgement culture and religious violence • what I plan to read next and how listeners can steer future solo spiritual episodes Give a rating, okay?

Send us Fan MailWe bring back Russell Van Brocklen to share a step-by-step AI workflow that cuts token spend while raising the quality of emails, reports, and client deliverables. We also get honest about the trade-offs: agentic AI can boost output fast, but it still demands judgement, review, and boundaries to avoid burnout. • treating dyslexia and other traits as advantages when paired with the right tools • avoiding subscription bloat by splitting pre-work and deep thinking across models • defining roles so the manager model evaluates and delegates rather than “doing” • prompting for fast guidance first, then an exhaustive bullet plan, then execution • rewriting plans to be as token efficient as reasonably possible • using catastrophic mode, maximum correction mode, and full polish mode • breaking big deliverables into many controlled runs to reach publishable quality • comparing AI spend to the real cost of hiring and why cheap labour backfires • hiring ruthlessly for competence while staying humane on time off and life events • using AI to strengthen recordkeeping, tax documentation, and audit readiness Go to DyslexiaClasses.com.

Send us Fan MailWe challenge the AI hype by asking what we gain in productivity and what we lose in creativity, attention, and basic human skills.

We argue that value creation, price signals, and limited coercive power explain why capitalism scales and why central planning collapses into force. • Defining economics as tradeoffs rather than just money • Clarifying socialism as state ownership of production and property • Distinguishing fascism as state control with nominal private ownership • Arguing that value is subjective and shaped by scarcity • Reframing work as creating value for other people • Explaining how patents, investors, and entrepreneurs drive progress • Challenging the idea that wealth is inherently “taken” from others • Showing how government intervention can separate consumers from prices in healthcare and college • Using complex systems and environmental analogies to warn about unintended consequences • Explaining why socialism cannot plan demand and tends toward dictatorship and black markets • Debunking the Nordic model as socialism and highlighting the tax tradeoff • Proposing sunset clauses, supermajorities, single-issue bills, lobbying limits, and redistricting reform You can rate in Apple Podcast, and yes, I'm gonna allow Spotify as well.
