Why do tech oligarchs keep proclaiming that the end is nigh? From Elon Musk warning of the civilizational-level threat of the “woke mind virus,” to Marc Andreessen declaring that “any deceleration of AI will cost lives,” to Peter Thiel’s fixation with the Antichrist, billionaires are insistent that the stakes of their ventures are nothing less than apocalyptic. To better understand the paranoia of Silicon Valley overlords, Travis, Jake, and Julian are joined by Chris Marquis, Sinyi Professor of Chinese Management at the University of Cambridge and author of the book The Profiteers: How Business Privatizes Profits and Socializes Costs.

This week, Jake and Travis sit down with journalist Will Sommer to unpack his investigation into the New Age wellness empire selling stacks of glowing TV monitors as a cure‑all. Jason Shurka, the brains behind the multi-million dollar operation, used the funds to bankroll a brand new streaming platform, Unifyd TV, whose offerings include documentaries made by QAnon promoters. According to the promoters of this quack cure, their work is approved by a secret society of powerful entities who are dedicated to elevating humankind called “The Light Systems” cabal or “TLS.” One member of The Light Systems, a figure called “Ray,” is regularly filmed while wearing a face-concealing hoodie and gloves in order to preserve his anonymity in interviews with Shurka available on Unifyd TV. It’s a lot. Just listen to the episode.

Annie Kelly has spent most of 2025 investigating the online world of so-called “traditional wives” or “tradwives.” On this episode she sits down with Travis, Jake, and Julian to talk about her new six-episode miniseries Truly, Tradly, Deeply for the Cursed Media podcast network. Among other discoveries: it’s more difficult than you might think to even properly define “tradwife,” much of the community promotes a fantasy about the pre-internet age, and tradwife content is far less fringe than it used to be. The first two episodes of “Truly, Tradly, Deeply” will be released on the Cursed Media podcast network on the 29th of October. https://www.cursedmedia.net/ Cursed Media subscribers also get access to every episode of every QAA miniseries we produced, including Manclan by Julian Feeld and Annie Kelly, Trickle Down by Travis View, The Spectral Voyager by Jake Rockatansky and Brad Abrahams, and Perverts by Julian Feeld and Liv Agar.

In this special Halloween edition of movie night, Jake and Travis discuss the 1960 British “B-movie” The City of the Dead. The film, the directorial debut of John Llewellyn Moxey and released under the title Horror Hotel in the United States, tells the story of a coven of witches in New England who lure women for a diabolical yearly sacrifice to Lucifer. The British actors, including a very young Christopher Lee, put on their best American accents to make a film so spooky that distributors chose to cut some references to Satan worship for the U.S. distribution. Best of all? You can watch it for free in 4K right now on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nl3cQ5Lo9HI Subscribe for $5 a month to get all the premium episodes: www.patreon.com/qaa Editing by Corey Klotz.

A few years ago “Dead Internet Theory” was just some creepypasta. But thanks to the power of Artificial Intelligence, our most dystopian nightmares become more plausible by the day. The theory reached public awareness after it was published on the small webforum Agora Road’s Macintosh Café in January of 2021. Pseudonymous author “IlluminatiPirate” posted the theory, which he claimed had developed earlier on the 4chan board /x/ and Wizardchan. Jake, Julian, and Travis discuss the history of the dead internet theory, the new short form AI video platform Vibes, and the continued push by tech giants to make humans superfluous. This includes the rise of AI actors as prophesied in the 2002 film Simone. Subscribe for $5 a month to get all the premium episodes: www.patreon.com/qaa Editing by Corey Klotz. Theme by Nick Sena.

What is National Security Presidential Memorandum‑7 (NSPM‑7)? And why is it causing major law firms to prepare their clients for possible politically motivated governmental probes? Our guest Ken Klippenstein explains the national security directive on “domestic terrorism” and how it serves to chill speech, harass Trump’s political opponents, and broaden the justifications for federal investigations. Plus we unpack Trump promoting medbeds, Kash Patel’s new challenge coin, and the Q Shaman’s multi trillion dollar lawsuit in which he declares himself the “first legal President of the New Constitutional Republic of the United States Of America.” Subscribe for $5 a month to get all the premium episodes: patreon.com/qaa Ken Klippenstein https://x.com/kenklippenstein Subscribe to Ken’s Newsletter https://www.kenklippenstein.com/ Trump’s NSPM-7 Labels Common Beliefs As Terrorism “Indicators” https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-nspm-7-labels-common-beliefs Check out our new podcast series network Cursed Media and binge the entirety of our new show Science in Transition by Liv Agar and Spencer Barrows: https://cursedmedia.net Editing by Corey Klotz.

In the beginning was the Word. In this case, the “word” is spoken by a velvet-voiced radio host revealing that the elites are poisoning Grandma, or a Professor turned board game millionaire’s blog post declaring feminism a satanic plot. Their words, carried over early websites and late-night radio, seeded the ideas that festered into the culture wars and extremist conspiracy content of today. Brad is back to tell the stranger-than-fiction stories of Henry and Jeff — early architects of the conspiratorial internet, who are now locked in the kind of bitter, messy feud only boomers can wage.

What is QAnon today, nearly eight years after the first Q drop? In Marc-André-Argentio’s new book QAnon: From Conspiracy Theory to New Religious Movement he argues that QAnon is best understood as a “hyper-real religion.” Even years after the Q drops stopped, QAnon exists as a lived religious practice, where true believers are commissioned to redpill the normies and posting is a rite. The book demonstrates that the movement has gone through three stages of existence: proto-QAnon, canonical-QAnon, and apocryphal-QAnon. Travis and Jake chat with Marc-André about his book and how it builds on other books that cover the movement.
