I Don't Know Anything with Paige Harriman

After a sudden layoff at Frog Design, one employee's life story took a tragic turn. While their death cannot be attributed solely to the dismissal, it’s difficult to ignore the role it may have played. For many, the loss of work means the loss of identity. Now, that was over ten years ago, long before AI began reshaping the labor market on a massive scale. By 2030, roughly 92 million jobs could be displaced globally. So what happens if work just...goes away? How will we find purpose and meaning? What will we do? In this episode, former Frog Design HR director Lindsey Ducroz talks to me about lessons learned, potential paths forward, and our purpose in life.

I play this for myself whenever I feel like sleeping in! Like skipping the gym! Like eating a whole pint of pistachio ice cream! No! Do not do those things! Get out there and do GOOD things!

We hope you will enjoy the show! (This episode resulted in quite a few real-life tears! You can make me feel better by donating to Starfish Project!)

OK, everybody always emails me and asks me the uncut, non-censored versions of my R-rated episodes. So guess what! Congratulations! I’m giving it to you raw! What does this mean? No music, no bleep noises, and no audio editing! Please donate to the Starfish Project! Consider finding God! (Very important note: Buzzfeed clickbait title! I did not attend one! Thanks!)

Orgies are spiritually communist! Think about it! The rules on the white-board clearly say "no private property, only shared resources." And yet, some bald man with a giant mustache always tries to seize the means of production! What's up with that? (Very important note: Buzzfeed clickbait title! I did not attend one! Thanks!)

Dan Held, Bitcoin entrepreneur and co-founder of ZeroBlock, talks to me about money. Howard Roark would approve! (Ellsworth Toohey just filed an op-ed.)

In this interview, Stephanie Winn (host of You Must Be Some Kind of Therapist, LMFT) talks to me about rapid-onset gender dysphoria (ROGD) like it's a real-life fright fest.

Leading AI researcher Sonia Joseph is showing robots how to wash dishes, drive cars, and...take over the world? (How? Why? What is she doing? What are they doing? Somebody call Charlton Heston! I'm serious!)

Aaron Francis, co-founder of Try Hard Studios and father of four kids, talks to me about what it means to be a good husband. (I made him cry a few times!)

Someone really wrote these things to Paige. Why?

Did you know Paige gets hate mail almost every day? No idea why! In this mini-series, Famous People Read Paige's Hate Mail, Snoop Dogg (powered by artificial intelligence, not the man himself) reads Paige's hate mail.

In Austin, a new free love movement is brewing. Called “Erotic Mysticism,” this avant-garde sexual subculture aims to get people out of their minds and into mystical states. In Act II of this special series, the leaders of this movement teach me all about sex, drugs, and the eternal soul. Everyone in Austin is on drugs! I'm going to sign you all up for Adaptogenics Anonymous! OK! Next week’s meeting is getting off polyamory! (You can bring snacks, but only if they're gluten-free and blessed by a shaman! Please make good choices!)

Apparently, a lot of people in Austin need to hear this message! No, you do not need to spend $10,000 on a cult!!!!!!!!!

Have you heard about the Second Cold War, between the U.S. and China? It's like the Cold War between the U.S. and Russia. Only this time around, it’s not nuclear missiles, but TikTok algorithms and tariffs causing panic attacks in Washington. In this episode, Paige visits the Stanford campus to interview Joseph Torigian, an associate professor at American University, and author of The Party's Interests Come First — an explicit biography of Xi Zhongxun, the leader's father (look, there was a surprising amount sex and violence!), about the Chinese Communist Party and the cultural war that they're waging. What a run-on sentence! China's maybe winning! Bye-bye, Miss American Pie!

Paige thinks she knows what “winning” is, but what if it’s not always shiny trophies, pots of gold, or Cannes-level standing ovations? Join her and Millie Tadewaldt (CEO and Founder of Brilliant) as they analyze the real cost and meaning of victory.

Did you know I get a lot of hate-mail? No idea why! In this new mini-series, Famous People Read Paige's Hate Mail, Snoop Dogg (powered by artificial intelligence, not the man himself) reads Paige's hate mail.

Paige has a lot of questions about the Power of Meditation. Sasha has exactly one hour.

In Austin, a new free love movement is brewing. Called “Erotic Mysticism,” this avant-garde sexual subculture aims to get people out of their minds and into mystical states. In this special two-part series, I interview the two movement leaders, Everett Satoru (@ev.thecreator) and Amyann (@officialamyann.art), about Erotic Mysticism. Mostly, they talk about how orgasms can bring us closer to prophetic consciousness. (How many sexy buzz-words can I fit in here? Uh, they told me people can lift energy out their genitals. Yeah. Talk about a Great Flood.)

Ex-gay? Detransitioning? Crashing out on Twitter? In this episode, Pariah the Doll explains what's been going on with him. (It's a lot! He's got a pituitary tumor now!) Disclaimer: The views and song presented in this episode do not represent mine. My show spotlights the stories of other people as they want them to be told, not as I think they should be told. (I am still very liberal! Thanks!)
