We are living in a time where a JPEG can sell for a million dollars, celebrities openly endorse Ponzi schemes and when what you've invented doesn't matter nearly as much as what you say you've invented. As snake oil increasingly becomes our new currency, regulators and lawmakers are asleep at the wheel while pay-to-play journalists pump out puff pieces from their slurp juice-induced hangovers. Join us as we explore the dizzying, unending roster of these 2020s-era rackets. Welcome to the age of GRIFTONOMICS.

The Cancel Culture Con (w/ Katelyn Burns)
<p>The notion of being “canceled” online is a fear held by many, often associated with consequences such as losing your job, friends and reputation. But increasingly, so-called “canceled” individuals seem to be fairing OK, and those consequences are becoming harder to find. So what does “cancel culture” mean in this day and age, and is it really a ticket to being exiled from society, or the road to getting your very own comedy special? To help explore this topic we’re joined by Katelyn Burns, MSNBC columnist and co-host of the Cancel Me, Daddy podcast.</p> <p><strong>Follow Katelyn:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/transscribe">Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="https://linktr.ee/CancelMe_Daddy">Cancel Me, Daddy</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Follow GRIFTONOMICS:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://griftonomics.com/">Website</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/home">Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5HJ4xNOwCjKj0SEiMaCing">YouTube</a></li> </ul>

The Road to Nowhere (w/ Paris Marx)
<p>Electric cars, underground tunnels, and autonomous vehicles are just a few of the fantastical ideas you’ve probably heard about when it comes to news coverage of the transport industry. But how did we get here? Are these sci-fi concepts really the future of our society, or should we rethink more than just the dominance of the automobile as we consider the future of transport? To help us explore this topic, we’re joined by Paris Marx, author of the book "Road to Nowhere: What Silicon Valley Gets Wrong about the Future of Transportation" and host of the "Tech Won't Save Us" podcast.</p> <p><strong>Follow Paris:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/parismarx">Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.versobooks.com/books/3995-road-to-nowhere">Road to Nowhere (Book)</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/techwontsaveus">Tech Won't Save Us (Podcast)</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Follow GRIFTONOMICS:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://griftonomics.com/">Website</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/home">Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5HJ4xNOwCjKj0SEiMaCing">YouTube</a></li> </ul>

Life According to Longtermism (w/ Émile P. Torres)
<p>If you’ve been following the tweets and interviews of our billionaire class lately, you may have noticed a recent interest from this group in topics such as global birth rates, colonizing far away planets and downloading your brain to a computer. Some billionaires have gone as far to share what they call a “longtermism” philosophy; endorsing, and in many cases, donating to organizations aligned with this belief system. But what is longtermism, and does it really have humanity’s best interests at heart? To help explore the topic we’re joined by philosopher and writer Émile P. Torres.</p> <p><strong>Follow Émile:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/xriskology">Twitter</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Follow GRIFTONOMICS:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://griftonomics.com/">Website</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/home">Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5HJ4xNOwCjKj0SEiMaCing">YouTube</a></li> </ul>
