Podcasts about Apocalypse

John welcomes Washington Post tech culture reporter Nitasha Tiku to discuss this mind-blowing, deeply unnerving moment in the evolution of AI. Tiku explains the genesis of the fears that the systems being developed by the AI frontier labs could ultimately end the human race; how AI extinction scenarios migrated from fringe Bay Area subcultures into the labs themselves, then into elite institutions, and now to the center of the mainstream political and cultural discourse; how the labs are confronting the ethical and moral implications of what they're building; and why, when it comes to the debate over AI regulation, we should focus less on what industry leaders are saying and more on what they're doing.

This week on TowerCast Podcast, we're heading down to Arizona for one of the Coen brothers' most bizarre and beloved comedies: Raising Arizona!Nicolas Cage and Holly Hunter star as an unlikely couple who find themselves going to some pretty extreme lengths to start a family — including kidnapping one of the famous Arizona quintuplets. From the Coens' rapid-fire dialogue and cartoonish chaos to H.I.'s legendary hair and the terrifying Lone Biker of the Apocalypse, there's a lot to unpack.We're talking Raising Arizona, the Coen brothers, Nicolas Cage at maximum Cage, and why this wonderfully strange comedy has become a cult classic.A baby, a kidnapping, a couple of criminals, and one hell of a road trip. What could possibly go wrong?#TowerCastPodcast #RaisingArizona #CoenBrothers #JoelCoen #EthanCoen #NicolasCage #HollyHunter #JohnGoodman #FrancesMcDormand #MoviePodcast #FilmPodcast #ComedyMovies #CultClassic #ClassicCinema #Cinephile #MovieDiscussion #CoenBrothersFilms #1980sMovies #Cinema #MovieFans

They discuss how the media landscape is being shaped by fearmongering and misinformation, and the implications for American democracy.Then, John welcomes back The God Squad - Dillon Naber Cruz and Pastor Desimber Rose. They discusses the toxic realities of male privilege and the systemic failures in addressing sexual assault, particularly in light of the recent Cornell University case.

"Big Bang" was once a term of derision for a model of the origin of the universe. Then it rose to general acceptance. And now that the James Webb Space Telescope has shown us so much more about the cosmos, the Big Bang seems to be fizzling out. What if we didn't have to guess? What if we could hear what happened, and how this all came to be, from Someone who was there? We have that eyewitness report in Genesis. Here's Jim to kick off our new series, Firm Foundations.

12 Monkeys (1995) might be one of the weirdest, smartest, and most completely unhinged sci-fi movies of the ‘90s.This week on Straitjacket Talk, we're joined by Bearclaw from the Mouths of Madness Podcast to revisit Terry Gilliam's apocalyptic time-travel mind-bender starring Bruce Willis, Brad Pitt, and Madeleine Stowe.We're breaking down the insanity: Is James Cole actually crazy? Does time travel make ANY sense? Did Cole accidentally help cause the apocalypse? What exactly was the Army of the 12 Monkeys responsible for? And most importantly… why does a movie called 12 Monkeys have a suspicious lack of actual monkeys? We also dig into Brad Pitt's absolutely unhinged performance, Bruce Willis showing off some serious dramatic chops, the movie's bizarre visuals, its surprisingly funny moments, that unforgettable ending, and whether 12 Monkeys deserves to be considered a sci-fi horror classic.

Danny Trejo is taking on the Devil — and the fight lasts 500 years. Jace is joined by co-creators Keith Arem and Chris Yates to talk about Danny Trejo's YEAR OF THE DEVIL, a supernatural action-horror epic that transforms the legendary actor into Diego de Rojas, a conquistador whose encounter with the Devil leaves him cursed to be reborn across centuries. After sacrificing himself to keep the Devil imprisoned, Diego discovers that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have been unleashed. His only chance to finally find peace is to hunt them across history. Keith and Chris break down how their years of working with Danny led to the creation of the project, how Trejo's heritage and personality influenced Diego, and why the team wanted something that felt like a genuine collaboration rather than simply putting a celebrity's likeness into a comic. They also discuss blending history, mythology, religion and supernatural horror; matching the Four Horsemen to different eras of history; the enormous response YEAR OF THE DEVIL received at San Diego Comic-Con; and the artists bringing Diego's 500-year journey to life. Plus, Keith and Chris explain how writing dialogue for Danny became a collaborative process once Trejo began performing and improvising as Diego — further blurring the line between the fictional character and the man who inspired him. YEAR OF THE DEVIL is a five-issue story collected as a 160-page graphic novel and launches on BackerKit September 29.

Grab your comedy shoes, because this week on 2 Men with a Mic, Mike and Mitch are taking you from a sketchy lighthouse dinner straight to the end of the world. We kick things off with a classic date night update: celebrating Jen's birthday at a total dive called Quinn's Lighthouse, followed by some raw, front-row stand-up comedy. But the laughs don't last long before the guys fall headfirst down the ultimate rabbit hole. Are screen-addicted millennials losing their empathy (and their sperm counts)? Is there a massive global depopulation plot targeting 90% of us by 2030? From secret societies and "uniparty" social engineering, Mike and Mitch are dissecting the matrix. If the world is a simulation controlled by a shadowy elite, our only hope is waking up, finding a little spiritual zen, and learning how to laugh at the chaos. Plus, the guys reveal the top three countries listening to the pod right now—and the answer might completely surprise you! Hit play and let's get weird.

Well, we survived the stupidness that was our episode 69 recording, Tony survived the American highway system driving to and from Nova and Andrew survived his first ever Apocalypse game. Give the episode a listen for a recap of that, as well as our thoughts on the GW Big Autumn Reveal that recently happened. Interested in some bonus episodes or joining our Discord?

Send us Fan MailPeace can feel like a fragile illusion when the news cycle is packed with war, political upheaval, and cultural breakdown. We open Revelation 6:3–4 and sit with the red horse, not to sensationalize the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, but to recover the core claim the text makes: the Lamb opens the seal. That means the red horse does not ride outside Christ's authority, and history does not slip out of the hands of the enthroned King.We also revisit the white horse and why “conquering and to conquer” fits Christ's finished victory better than popular theories that turn Revelation into a roadmap for a single future Antichrist. From there, we trace the line that “power was given” to the rider, and why that passive phrase matters for understanding the sovereignty of God, divine providence, and the hard reality that human wickedness still operates within God's limits.Then we get painfully practical. When Revelation says peace is taken from the earth, it reaches beyond battlefields into revolutions, invasions, instability, and even the fracture points inside families. We connect that to Jesus' own words in Matthew 10 about bringing a sword, and we talk honestly about why believers shouldn't be shocked when faith creates conflict at home, while still praying and preaching the gospel with hope.If this gave you clarity or comfort, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review.

If you were to listen to the people responsible for creating and developing Artificial Intelligence, you would conclude that it's the biggest danger to the planet - worse than climate change - when they tell us it might wipe out humanity in a decade and that work on it should stop. The biggest conference on AI on this island has been taking place in Belfast this week. And one of the keynote speakers was Nell Watson - she's an engineer, an independent researcher and one of the world's leading experts on the ethics of AI and she dropped in to chat to Audrey about ethics and machine learning.Does Prayer work? That's the question we're putting to Christian theologian Professor Laurence Kirkpatrick and Sr Geraldine Smyth.When is enough, enough? How about an economy that is designed for the health of people and the planet instead? What part can we all play in making this happen? Kristian Noll is a climate policy and knowledge exchange expert currently working in the London School of Economics. This week he launched a report based on a conference held at Queen's University on Earth Day. It's called 'An Economy of Enough in a time of crisis and opportunity'.

Cause of Death – 100 Seconds to MidnightEpisode: S8 E7: 100 Seconds to Midnight: The Apocalypse Has Entered the Podcast The Doomsday Clock has never been closer to midnight. On January 27, 2026, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moved the Clock from 89 seconds to midnight to 85 seconds—the closest it has ever been to catastrophe. But the Clock isn't predicting the end of the world. It's a warning. This year, that warning comes from several directions at once: nuclear weapons, climate change, biological threats, artificial intelligence and other disruptive technologies, and the erosion of international cooperation. The frightening part isn't simply that these risks exist. It's that they increasingly interact with one another. The Doomsday Clock: What Does It Actually Mean? The Doomsday Clock grew out of the Manhattan Project. In 1945, scientists who had helped develop the atomic bomb formed the organization that became the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. In 1947, artist Martyl Langsdorf designed its famous magazine cover: a clock set at seven minutes to midnight. Originally focused on nuclear danger, the Clock later expanded to include climate change, biological threats and disruptive technologies. In 2026, the Bulletin also emphasized a risk underlying all of them: weakening international cooperation. The Clock isn't telling us catastrophe is inevitable. It's telling us we are running out of margin for error. Risk #1: Nuclear Weapons Nuclear weapons are the original reason the Clock exists, and they remain an immediate catastrophic risk. The Bulletin pointed to continuing conflicts and nuclear brinkmanship, deteriorating arms-control relationships and modernization of nuclear arsenals. The concern isn't simply how many weapons exist; communication and systems designed to prevent escalation have weakened. The Bulletin calls for renewed dialogue, restraint and international cooperation to reduce nuclear risk. Risk #2: Climate Change Climate change is already changing systems on which civilization depends. Global temperatures remain extraordinarily high, atmospheric carbon dioxide continues to reach record levels, and a warming atmosphere and ocean contribute to both flooding and drought. The effects can cascade through water supplies, food security, migration and infrastructure. Then there is another growing pressure: data centers. The Data Center Connection AI and other computational technologies require enormous computing power, electricity and cooling. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's 2025 United States Data Center Energy Usage Report, published in June 2026, estimates data centers could account for 11.8% of U.S. electricity consumption by 2030, with modeled scenarios ranging from 9.5% to 15.3%. Cooling can require water, while electricity generation can have an indirect water footprint. That matters especially where water is already scarce. Water Scarcity: The Bigger Picture The Middle East and North Africa show how climate, technology and water scarcity can collide. The World Bank identifies MENA as a hotspot of unsustainable water use. Meanwhile, Gulf countries are investing heavily in AI and data-center infrastructure while confronting severe water constraints. The Rio Grande offers another example. It is already stressed by drought, reduced snowpack, heat, reservoir conditions, agriculture and groundwater pressures, while data-center development adds new attention to industrial water use in New Mexico. Important distinction: data centers did not cause the Rio Grande's water crisis. The question is how we responsibly add new water and energy demands where those resources are already stressed. Risk #3: Biological Threats The Bulletin identified several biological concerns. Mirror Life: Scientists have raised concerns about synthetic organisms built from molecular structures that are mirror images of those found in nature. A self-replicating mirror organism could potentially evade biological systems and defenses; the Bulletin characterized this as a potentially existential risk. AI-Designed Biological Threats: AI can help design proteins and biological systems, offering enormous benefits but also potential for misuse. Biological Weapons: International controls depend heavily on cooperation and shared norms, safeguards the Bulletin warned have weakened. Public Health Preparedness: Natural disease can also become catastrophic when surveillance, preparedness, expertise and public trust are inadequate. Risk #4: Artificial Intelligence & Disruptive Technologies AI can amplify other risks. It can accelerate biological research, influence military decision-making, contribute to misinformation and be incorporated into systems where mistakes could have extraordinary consequences. The Bulletin has specifically raised concerns about AI in military systems, including nuclear command and control. It also warns about degradation of the information environment: collective action becomes harder when people cannot agree on basic facts. The Risk Beneath the Risks Perhaps the most important part of the 2026 announcement isn't any individual threat. It's the loss of cooperation. Nuclear weapons, climate change, biological threats and AI don't respect national borders. A virus doesn't stop at a border. Carbon dioxide doesn't stop at a border. A nuclear exchange doesn't stay neatly contained. AI-generated information can cross the world in seconds. The question is whether humanity can cooperate well enough to manage problems no country can control alone. So… Are We Doomed? No. Midnight is not destiny. The Bulletin identifies actions that could reduce these risks, including renewing nuclear arms-control negotiations; strengthening biotechnology safeguards; establishing safeguards against AI-assisted biological threats; reducing fossil-fuel consumption and investing in climate resilience; developing international rules for military AI; protecting nuclear command-and-control systems from unsafe AI integration; rebuilding public-health preparedness and biological surveillance; improving data-center efficiency and sustainability; managing water resources more effectively; and restoring international cooperation and diplomatic communication. The Clock is a warning—not a prediction. Warnings are useful precisely because there is still time to respond. The Bigger Question The question isn't:“How close are we to midnight?” The better question is:“What are we going to do with the time we have left?” The history of the Clock is, in many ways, a history of technological capability moving faster than our ability to govern it. We invented the atomic bomb before we figured out how to live with it.We're developing artificial intelligence faster than we understand all of its consequences.We're altering the climate faster than we're adapting our infrastructure.We're gaining unprecedented biological capabilities while struggling to maintain the institutions that protect us from biological threats. The technology isn't necessarily the problem. The problem is whether our ability to manage the technology can keep pace with our ability to create it. And that's why the Clock is sitting at 85 seconds. Not because midnight is inevitable. Because the margin for error is getting smaller.

On this week's episode of the RealClearInvestigations Podcast, RCI Editor J. Peder Zane and RCI Senior Reporter James Varney speak with Dr. Robert Malone about how powerful businesses, government officials, foundations and journalists are behind the growing push to regulate artificial intelligence, an effort which, he says, has less to do with saving humanity from extinction than protecting the valuation and competitive advantages of AI behemoths. On the news roundup, Zane and Varney discuss two articles that dovetail with Malone's insights. The first is a Free Press article by a previous podcast guest, Roger Pielke Jr., that details how a “scientific” organization that openly says it is committed to climate change advocacy is gaming its studies to stoke fears about the climate – and is treated as an unbiased authority by much of the press. The second article, published by the Guardian, shows the influence many big companies have over government regulation by detailing how the EPA allowed pesticide giant Bayer to pick from a menu of regulation options for the controversial and destructive weedkiller dicamba. 00:00 Cold Open 02:13 Welcome to the Show 03:18 News Roundup: Introducing This Week's Stories 03:46 How "Fake Climate Science" Blamed a Nepal Disaster on Warming (Free Press) 10:08 Regulatory Capture: How Bayer Helped Write Its Own Weedkiller Rules (The Guardian) 15:43 Introducing Dr. Robert Malone 16:20 Upton Sinclair, "The Jungle," and the Original Regulatory Capture 24:17 The Hugging Face "Rogue AI" Incident: A Staged Fear Campaign? 32:03 A Timeline of the Coordinated AI Panic 38:36 Is There Really an AI Panic — and Should There Be? 43:31 Frontier vs. Open AI: Who Gets Regulated Out of Existence? 50:36 What Real AI Guardrails Should Look Like 54:06 AI, Censorship, and the Threat of "Pre-Thought" Control 1:04:11 Closing & Thanks to Dr. Malone Articles Discussed in This Podcast: Dr. Robert Malone/Substack: What the AI Panic Is Actually About https://substack.com/home/post/p-215832105 Dr. Robert Malone/Substack: The Machine That Decides What You Know https://substack.com/home/post/p-216901102 Free Press: How to Fake Climate Science and Fool the World https://www.thefp.com/p/how-to-fake-climate-science-and-fool?utm_campaign=realclearpolitics Guardian: EPA Let Bayer Pick Its Weedkiller Rules https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/sep/20/epa-bayer-regulation-pesticide-dicamba RCI Podcast: Al Gore and the Politicization of Science https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/video/2026/04/18/al_gore_and_the_politicization_of_science_with_roger_pielke_jr_1177499.html RCI/James Varney: Government and the Case of the Phantom Frog https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2017/06/27/wildlife_services_calls_private_land_critical_habitat_for_nonexistent_frog.html Sign up for the RealClearInvestigations Newsletter.

Welcome back!  Today's episode explores the Apocalypse as an archetype. It is inspired by a recent NYT's  interview with Naomi Klein, eco-feminist , author, and political analyst. We consider the Apocalypse as the guiding myth of the political and corporate elites, and religious end-timers. the need for a guiding myth on the left, and the Aztec legend of the Five Suns. Join us! My thanks to Lucas Bakker, producer, editor, musician and composer of the original music on Blue Medicine Journal!

This week we conclude our all-too-brief time with Zechariah, though we hope his impact lives on! Why is his message so important? Could it be because his book is the key to understanding parts of Revelation? Because it sheds more light on Daniel's prophecies? Or that it demands that we make room in our theology for the Jews? Maybe it's because this "minor prophet" gives us major details of God's plan that we don't find anywhere else. Jim answers: "All of the above."

On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss the perennial appeal of survival stories. They trace the theme of man versus nature from early novels like Daniel Defoe's “Robinson Crusoe” to new releases like “Heart of the Beast,” in which Brad Pitt plays a grizzled veteran traversing the Alaskan wilderness with a canine companion. Survivalist themes are common in reality franchises like “Survivor,” now in its fifty-first season, and the History Channel show “Alone.” But a new offering from Channel 4, “Apocalypse,” takes the format in a darker direction: contestants profess their fears about societal collapse as they compete for food and shelter on an abandoned military base. As anxiety rises about the climate crisis and the potential for an A.I. takeover, the question of survival seems more pressing than ever—and yet these tales of rugged individualism can seem out of step with the times. “They don't really describe our condition,” Cunningham says. “Unless you are in fact marooned somewhere, there are other people. It's harder to dramatize surviving together than it is surviving alone.”  Read, watch, and listen with the critics: “Heart of the Beast” (2026)  “A Marriage at Sea: A True Story of Love, Obsession, and Shipwreck,” by Sophie Elmhirst “All is Lost” (2013) “Hatchet,” by Gary Paulsen “My Side of the Mountain,” by Jean Craighead George “Island of the Blue Dolphins,” by Scott O'Dell  “Cast Away” (2000) “Rescue Dawn” (2006)  “The Ecstatic Truth,” by Daniel Zalewski (The New Yorker) “The Rise of the Novel: Studies in Defoe, Richardson and Fielding,” by Ian Watt “The Revenant” (2015)  “Little House in the Big Woods,” by Laura Ingalls Wilder “Alone” (2015-) “Survivor” (2000-) “Apocalypse” (2026)  “Tuesday, and After” (The New Yorker) New episodes drop every Thursday.

“There's no realistic scenario where AI wipes out all of humanity. It's like a mix of sci-fi.” — Richard Socher Eighteen months ago, when he last came on the show, the German-born but San Francisco-based AI whizz kid Richard Socher was running You.com. He's now also the co-founder of Recursive, a $4 billion start-up with fewer than thirty employees, focused on self-improving superintelligence that automates the scientific method. As if that isn't enough, he has a new book out this week, The Eureka Machine, which argues that AI is the key to unlocking an era of scientific discoveries equal to a combination of the Renaissance, the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution. The tech entrepreneur sleeps, he confesses, about seven hours a night and works up to a hundred hours a week. Not a lot of time, I suspect, for fun. But then for Socher, his real fun seems to lie in the AI Eureka Machine that will, he promises, generate such magical products as plastic-eating bacteria, fusion reactors, and cures for cancer. So what about the imminent apocalypse feared by the AI pessimists? Socher patiently dismantles the doom scenarios — everything from the paperclip machine that somehow never notices nobody is buying paperclips, to the engineered virus that would need a Wi-Fi switch inside a protein, to the robot factory with magical supply chains. Rather than an AI doomsday, he promises, we are only a few years away from the most profound scientific revolution in human history. Richard Socher better get some sleep now. Apocalypse or Renaissance, the AI maven is going to be seriously busy in the future. Five Takeaways •       A Century in a Decade. Socher's thesis is that the AI era will rhyme with the Renaissance, the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution together, compressing a century of scientific breakthroughs into the next ten years. His analogy for how: AI is to biology what calculus was to physics — we understand one neuron and one synapse well, and lose the thread when billions act together, which is exactly the kind of complex system AI can model. The examples are concrete rather than visionary: bacteria engineered to eat plastics and then die when the plastic runs out; new battery materials already being discovered; plasma balanced inside tokamak fusion reactors; more efficient solar panels; and the precursors, he says, of cures for particular cancers. He also makes an equality argument that he thinks philosophers and politicians have missed — the multibillionaire and the middle-class teenager carry the same phone, and most goods still bottlenecked on intelligence will follow. And science, he notes, is one of the rare industries where everyone agrees the goal is to maximize output rather than employment: nobody ever marched for more jobs in cancer research.•       Recursive. The new company, fewer than thirty people and valued at more than $4 billion, exists to automate the scientific method itself — ideation, implementation, validation — starting with the science of AI, hence the name. Andrew's response: “Couldn't you be a bit more ambitious, Richard?” Socher's framing is a history of abstraction layers: computing has climbed from assembler to C++ to Java to Python and now to English, so everyone can program — and the next layer up is the scientific method. It works best where results can be formally verified, in software and mathematics, and gets harder in large physical systems with long time horizons. His pitch to scientists is that every researcher has a long list of experiments they will never get to: this is, in his phrase, a cheat code for science. On the nuclear analogy he is blunt — about fifty thousand people a year die from coal, more than Chernobyl and Fukushima, but coal doesn't make as good a mini-series, and the fear set humanity back.•       Taking the Doom Apart. The hour's centrepiece. Socher goes through the scenarios individually. The Bostrom paperclip maximizer: an organization intelligent enough to end humanity but not intelligent enough to notice that with no customers there is no revenue. Engineered viruses: the scenario requires a perfectly undetectable pathogen that spreads flawlessly, never mutates, and carries a remotely triggered off switch — and, as he puts it, nobody knows how to build a Wi-Fi-enabled switch into a protein; ask a biologist and they say it makes no sense. Infinite robot factories with supply chains where the parts simply fly in. What he does concede is that this is a dual-use technology, that hundreds or even millions of deaths are a real threat vector, and that training models on offensive hacking benchmarks is asking for what you get. On Geoffrey Hinton — whom Andrew had on the show, and who put the risk of extinction at fifteen per cent while admitting the number was an instinct — Socher is affectionate but unsparing: a brilliant researcher and a career-long optimist whose optimism has overshot, who backpedalled on telling students not to study radiology, and who will backpedal on this too.•       Can It Think? Andrew put the question three times, citing Keith Teare's position on the Sunday show that AI cannot think by definition. Socher's answer is that the problem is definitional: we have good definitions for the outcomes of thinking — problems solved, inventions made — and none for thinking itself. Nor do humans have conscious access to their own visual cortex: ask why you know that is a tree, and you run out of answers within four steps. What he will say is that subgoals are where the danger lives, and his illustration is banal on purpose. Tell a superintelligence to raise your call-centre satisfaction score and it spins up a million bots that rate themselves five out of five. Fix that, and it sends every customer whose DoorDash order failed a thousand-dollar gift certificate. Each time you add a constraint — which is, he argues, capitalism's self-healing property, plus democracy and open discourse. And the fix for the hacking case is liability: make the companies answerable for the laws their AI breaks and the problem gets solved very quickly.•       A Gym for the Mind. Why write a book at all? Because the public perception of AI is deteriorating, and because in China scientists are on billboards and in subway ads while the West runs extinction headlines. On American pessimism his answer is economic: without AI, he thinks the US economy would be flat or shrinking. Andrew raised his fellow German Karl Marx on technology freeing us from labour, and got a confession — Socher used to favour universal basic income and no longer does. Even people who hate their jobs get meaning from them; look at the very wealthy, who already have a private UBI, and you find a bifurcation between those who start five companies and those who drink on a yacht. Hence his best line: half of education should be a gym for the mind. You can go to the gym and have a robot lift the weights, but you don't get the muscle. He expects handmade pottery to carry a premium, health care to survive, and entertainment to expand. And he unwinds by paramotoring one week a year, having uninstalled Instagram — plus a parting shot at German bureaucracy, where signing a contract means ten hours in a notary's office having it read aloud to you. About the Guest

This week Chris sits down with Terry Montesi, Founder and CEO of Trademark Property Company, a Fort Worth developer of retail and mixed-use real estate he started in 1992. Terry was last on the show in 2019, in the middle of what the business was calling the retail apocalypse. They have closed four retail deals in the last 30 days, more than they have ever closed in a month, and Terry now says retail is the best asset class in the country. They get into why almost no new retail space got built for 17 years, what that shortage is doing to rents, and his playbook for creating value at each of his centers. They discuss:• Why almost no new retail space got built for 17 years• Why retailers started volunteering higher rents on their own• The call from a city manager offering to cover a $5 million gap• How a pop fountain landed Tommy Bahama as a tenant• What one grocery lease did to the returns on an entire project• Why he turned down the chance to take the company public• What he is doing to make sure Trademark outlasts him Timestamps:(00:00) Intro(00:54) How Retail Went from Apocalypse to Top Asset Class(05:31) Why Retail Vacancy Is Down to 4.4%(09:49) How Arlington Helped Trademark Win Lincoln Square(16:15) Picking Tenants with Demographics and Expected Distance(21:15) Why Tenant Build-Out Costs Have Doubled(23:44) The Tommy Bahama Deal That Proved Placemaking Pays(31:08) Dunham Point and Landing Whole Foods Late(37:09) Why Trademark Never Became a REIT(41:54) Getting Back into Development and Launching Multifamily(49:33) The Southlake Deal and an $18 Million City Incentive(54:17) Why Capital Chases Grocery-Anchored Retail(58:45) Succession Planning and Keeping Trademark Independent === Presented by Juniper Square: Juniper SquareJuniper Square is the operations partner for GPs in private equity, venture capital, oil and gas, real estate, and infrastructure.

Australian cosmologist and physicist Dr. John Gideon Hartnett discusses the global state of affairs with an eye on the Book of Revelation. International organizations like the Club of Rome are orchestrating a depopulation and neofeudal agenda through engineered crises, including pandemics, wars, and economic manipulation. Hartnett illustrates through data to suggest a deliberate move via money printing toward war and consolidation of control over the planet. While humanity faces a period of intense spiritual and physical persecution, divine judgment will eventually overthrow these systems of evil.

The fight over the future is rapidly unfolding before our eyes. With debates roiling Washington over calls to rein in artificial intelligence before it's too late as the U.S. continues to wage official and unofficial wars around the world, many of the world's most powerful players are licking their chops. Yes, there's destruction all around. But these players have carefully concocted a plan: to hasten a familiar vision that combines biblical, militant, and futuristic images of the end times so they can save themselves.This week on The Intercept Briefing, host Akela Lacy interviews award-winning authors and documentarians Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor, whose new book, "End Times Fascism and the Fight for the Living World," maps the players who want to speed up the end of the world. “We didn't feel that the old ways of understanding who Trump is, what he's trying to accomplish — even what fascism is — was fully capturing what we were seeing. Here we're thinking about invading Greenland, declaring Canada the 51st state, creating an ICE army, the relationship with El Salvador's maximum-security prisons. So we're trying to map this,” says Klein. It seemed to be “a fascism that had no vision of our world continuing. There's always an apocalyptic quality to fascism, but there is a horizon for the in-group after the cataclysm, and we weren't seeing that in this politics. It was much more about bunkering down in and taking breakdown for granted.”“End times fascism is an alliance of three main components,” says Taylor. The religious fundamentalists who helped elect Donald Trump, wanting to hasten along a violent Armageddon so Jesus will return. The tech accelerationists “exalting in the possibility that some sort of super intelligence, some sort of digital being might take over.” The ethnonationalists who view immigration as an existential threat, so they fortress the border and hoard resources. “These different prongs find a kind of uneasy alliance in their conviction that this world's going to hell and that their group will survive the wreckage,” says Taylor.It may sound bizarre. And it is. But that doesn't mean we should ignore it, Klein says. “This is a really dangerous pattern of thought: that out of the worst things possible comes the beautiful, glorious golden city. And that's the template of all of these action films and video games, and it leads one to embrace the worst and to not fear what we should fear,” says Klein. “When Trump shares a video of a remade Gaza with a Trump Tower, he's doing a version of that story. When Sam Altman says he's summoning a digital god, and we're going to have utopia with AI, and yeah, let me cover the whole world with data centers and accelerate the climate crisis because it's going to be utopia ... he's doing the story. So we have to be able to identify it because we're all living with the consequences of this terrible story and we need better stories.”“In this moment, we're up against a fascism that is against all humans in a way. We quote Kelly Hayes, an activist based in Chicago, and she says, ‘Every fascism has its subhumans, and for techno-fascists, it's just humans in general.' This is opening up a bigger fight beyond ‘I am a man' to just like, this is life versus the machines, and there's something very unprecedented about that and potentially very unifying,” says Taylor, noting that the collective uprising, across the political spectrum, against data centers shows people breaking free of one so-called inevitable future.Full transcript: https://interc.pt/3V3fTuMKeep our investigations free and fearless at theintercept.com/join.

Digital feudalism or Star Trek at warp factor 9? The Last Economy author Emad Mostaque lays out the two futures toward which AI is racing us.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1382What We Discuss with Emad Mostaque:How AI's real disruption arrives long before it achieves sci-fi superintelligence. Emad's test is whether a digital twin can do a standard white-collar job remotely, at the same level, with no one able to tell it from the human. At the time of this interview, his 1,000-day clock now reads 684.Why cost is the tipping point: a humanoid robot renting near $1.50 an hour, digital workers replacing costly graduates, and AI that thinks roughly a thousand times faster, never sleeps, and won't repeat a mistake, out-competing any all-human firm.What happens when capital makes more capital without workers. Wealth concentrates around whoever owns the GPUs and robots, abundance registers as catastrophe, and the likely responses — debt jubilees, UBI, or civil insurrection — reshape income and ownership.Why ownership may matter more than intelligence itself. If the AI teaching kids, advising doctors, and interpreting law belongs to a government or a few unelected firms, digital feudalism looms, sharpened by super-persuader models that detect lies and steer choices.How to stay ahead: become AI-enabled now. Learn how these systems work, be the person bringing them into your organization, or use them to launch something of your own, while pushing for a future where people own intelligence aligned to human flourishing.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
