Tim argues you can't escape powerful demons running the world so you might as well pick ones you prefer, name-checking Peter Thiel, Eric Weinstein, Whitney Webb, Bill Gates, and Sheldon Adelson.
- Successful white women in tech are scarier than billionaires, especially ones pushing marginalized voices and content moderation.
- Tim falls asleep listening to podcasts of white women wanting him in jail while they talk about infrastructure and cleansing voices.
- People getting screwed for 40 years—wages stagnant, health care gone, colleges unaffordable, communities hollowed out, everyone on heroin.
- California is like Marlboro Lights: every year things get worse and more expensive, the government keeps raising prices and people pay.
- Can't screw people for 40 years and expect no rebellions—some go QAnon, some use Parler, some try to make money in the stock market.
- Tim bought AMC stock at $8.98 and is holding the line against Wall Street.
- The Whitney Cummings podcast went long, so they missed having the Wall Street Bets CEO on, though apparently he was excommunicated from the community anyway.
- California feels like the house after the party—cigarettes everywhere, it smells dank, you just want to leave and get eggs and coffee somewhere else.
