Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying mathematical concepts that power modern machine learning, to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives–even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

What if most of what we think about the causes of disease is wrong? Is it possible that we have an impoverished understanding of sickness?

Andrew Kaufman is a doctor I greatly admire. His calm and simple way of explaining things had a profound impact on me and is the main reason I changed my opinion on germ theory.

There’s no way the moon landing happened 1:03:37

منذ 2 hours1:03:37

1:03:37

Possibly the greatest event in human history is packed with anomalies, mysteries, unanswered questions, impossibilities, and outright lies. Do you believe humans landed on the moon? You probably do—most people do. Question it, and you’re labelled a mad conspiracy nut . After all, why doubt it? NASA, a government outfit, would never fake a thing, would they? Randy Walsh, a pilot, authored a series of books called The Apollo Moon Missions: Hiding a Hoax in Plain Sight . What caught my eye is that Randy focuses on NASA’s occult roots and the lead-up to the Apollo 11 launch. 📺 Watch the video episode…

Here's why South Africa has rolling blackouts 1:08:16

1:08:16

🕰️ This episode was recorded in 2024, but is still relevant It’s not just the ANC’s incompetence and corruption driving load-shedding—there’s an agenda fuelled by foreign interests. Desmund Bernardo , a South African project manager at Koeberg Nuclear Power Station who held a reactor operator’s licence, possesses deep insight into the nuts and bolts of the country’s electricity issues. I recommend his YouTube channel, Beyond Politics . Des did not hold back. 📺 Watch video episode…

Making sense of Jeffrey Epstein and organised crime 56:09

56:09

🕰️ This episode was recorded in 2022, from my daily talk radio show . (The station shut down in 2024 due to mismanagement.) Whitney Webb’s two-volume book, 'One Nation Under Blackmail', is the most thorough exposé I’ve ever encountered. It's utterly brilliant. I bought both volumes and so should you. The books dig deep, showing how decades of corruption, blackmail, and shadowy alliances built a system that protected him. 📺 Listen on my website…

The over-medicalisation of childbirth 1:05:03

منذ 3 أيام1:05:03

1:05:03

🕰️ This episode was recorded in 2024. My wife was pregnant at the time. Giving birth has become highly lucrative for the medical industry at the expense of the mother and child. Stuart Fischbein (Dr Stu) runs a website and podcast called Birthing Instincts . More specifically, he is an OBGYN (Obstetrician-Gynaecologist) with over 40 years of experience who specialises in breech and twin births and supports VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Caesarean). In other words, he has delivered a lot of babies in both hospitals and homes, promoting the latter due to it being safer and healthier. As Dr Stu notes, the establishment has, over the last century or so, duped women into believing that childbirth is a medical condition needing clinical intervention. 📺 Watch video episode…

Why is Genesis important to Christians and Jews? 1:06:09

منذ 4 أيام1:06:09

1:06:09

The first book of the Bible provides the racial context of biblical genealogies and Abraham’s covenant. So who’s it relevant to? William Finck, a biblical scholar, runs the fascinating website Christogenea.org and was on my podcast before, discussing why Christianity isn’t universalist. A lot of people will knee-jerk and get their jaws out of joint at the thought of the Bible not being aimed at everybody, but I recommend listening to the conversation first. William's discussion with me this time is about the importance of Genesis to both Christians and Jews, as it relates to a fundamental understanding of historical identity. Basically, Genesis isn’t linked to Judaism, but Christian and Jewish Zionism has captured it, pushing a false doctrine through a Jewish-only lens. 📺 Watch the video episode…

This man regretted trying to become a woman 49:29

منذ 6 أيام49:29

49:29

🕰️ This was recorded in 2021 Walt Heyer is an American man who once pretended to be a woman for eight years and now shares his story to caution others about the pitfalls of ‘gender transition’. To be clear, he chopped off his junk and took all sorts of female hormones, only to regret it a few years later, unable to reverse the self-inflicted harm. He created an organisation, called Sex Change Regret , which helps others with a similar experience. Walt correctly argues that men can’t become women and that many who go down that road are struggling with bigger issues, like trauma or mental health, which need proper care, not surgery. Walt took me through his sad and depressing journey. There is a silver lining, though. He is happily (re)married. 📺 Watch the video episode…

What if The Beatles didn’t write or record their own music? 1:20:27

منذ 9 أيام1:20:27

1:20:27

The Beatles have sold between 600 and 800 million units—albums, singles, or digital downloads—making them the most successful pop band of all time. They were a brilliant band and definitely among my favourite acts. But what if they neither wrote nor recorded much of their music? Mike Williams is a musician who runs the Sage of Quay website , which is packed with research and in-depth analyses of not only The Beatles but also the broader entertainment industry. Basically, Mike argues that The Beatles—whether they knew it or not—weren’t the organic counterculture heroes they’re portrayed as. He suggests they were deliberately shaped by forces like the Tavistock Institute to serve a hidden cultural agenda, and a bunch of their music wasn’t even written or recorded by them. 📺 Watch video episode…

The Scofield Bible and Israel 1:11:15

منذ 11 يومًا1:11:15

1:11:15

🕰️ This was recorded in early 2024. Why do millions of Christians believe that Jews are God's chosen people and Israel is God's chosen land? Well, over a century ago, he spread the idea of biblical dispensationalism—a false doctrine—through a variation of the Bible called the Scofield Reference Bible. It was really just republications of standard Bible translations but with added footnotes on each page. Many Bibles today still use the Scofield footnotes, knowingly or unknowingly. In short, Jews aren’t God’s chosen people, nor is Israel His chosen land—a false doctrine gripping evangelical Christians and Jews alike, driving the former to blindly champion Jews and modern Israel. Stephen Sizer is a theologian and author with quite a lengthy biography and he joined me on my podcast to chat about the dangerous influence of Scofield (including who he was and who he worked with). 📺 Watch video episode…

What is the Genesis 6 Conspiracy? 1:20:06

منذ 12 يومًا1:20:06

1:20:06

The Genesis 6 Conspiracy , by Gary Wayne, is a provocative theory rooted in the biblical account of Genesis 6:1-4, where the ‘sons of God’ (fallen angels) have sex with women to produce the Nephilim, who are bent on humanity’s destruction. Gary argues that the offspring of the fallen angels survived the Flood, and their descendants can be traced today, woven into the fabric of secret societies, including aristocracy such as the Black Nobility . 📺 Watch video episode…

The Spanish flu was a myth 1:08:20

منذ 14 يومًا1:08:20

1:08:20

🕰️ This was recorded in 2024. Everything you were taught about this supposedly deadly virus from the early 20th century is nonsense. A lot of people did die, but not from a pathogen. Michael Bryant, in his outstandingly researched article, Exploding the Spanish Flu Myth , notes that the Spanish flu wasn’t caused by a virus, but by the harsh environmental conditions of World War I. In other words, there is no evidence of a deadly pathogen spreading between people. What happened, as Michael explains, was a collection of war-related consequences. I mean, isn’t it a total coincidence that WW1 and the Spanish flu ended around the same time? 📺 Watch the video episode…

Busting Western myths about China 1:10:33

منذ 15 يومًا1:10:33

1:10:33

It’s so strange how smart people insist on parroting false claims about China, and it’s likely a consequence of decades of propaganda. An excellent Substack called Austrian China examines China from an Austrian School of Economics perspective, featuring multiple contributors, including an American economist, Scott , who has lived in China for many years. My discussion with Scott largely centres on their Top Ten Myths About China series of articles. 📺 Watch video episode…

Why artificial intelligence will never take over 58:15

منذ 16 يومًا58:15

58:15

Stop worrying about machines controlling humanity. It can't and won't ever happen for a number of very good reasons. Jobst Landgrebe co-authored a refreshingly good take on AI, called Why Machines Will Never Rule the World , in which he argues that, well, you know, machines will never rule the world. It’s refreshingly good because the zeitgeist is dominated by fear and paranoia. 📺 Watch video episode…

Decoding psychological operations and false flags 1:15:31

منذ 17 يومًا1:15:31

1:15:31

Governments and media shape our perceptions in subtle ways, making it nearly impossible to know what is true and what is not true. COVID-19 is a disease caused by the novel, deadly SARS-CoV-2 virus, which was released from a lab in China, triggering a global pandemic. Except that, well, no, it's all nonsense. There is no COVID-19 and there was no pandemic. COVID-19 was a military and psychological operation involving fear and propaganda to control and manipulate masses of people. Those behind it include government agencies (such as the Department of Defence ), pharmaceutical companies, central bankers, NGOs (such as the Gates Foundation), the media, and more. A false flag operation (or just false flag) is when a government or group pretends to be someone else to do something bad. They do this to make it look like their enemies did it. This way, they can start a war or create division. An example is the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty in 1967. Ole Dammegard runs a website called Light on Conspiracies , where, as the name implies, he sheds light on conspiracies, as well as unpacking and decoding psyops (psychological operations), false flags, and other subversions of reality. 📺 Watch video episode…

LED lighting is pretty bad for your health 1:08:58

منذ 18 يومًا1:08:58

1:08:58

🕰️ This episode was recorded in early 2024. Nisa Khan is a scientist studying the effects of LED lighting and is concerned about its negative impact on well-being. It's weird that I need to type this but, since some people believe that men can become women, let's get this out of the way. The light you're exposed to daily significantly affects your health. Natural sunlight is, by far, the healthiest, offering benefits beyond just vitamin D production. That's why I've stopped using sunscreen and sunglasses, except in extreme cases, realising that the sun isn't the enemy and it makes no sense to block the full light spectrum from my skin and eyes. LEDs worsen your vision. LEDs can make you sick through mitochondrial dysfunction. LEDs damage your sleep. 📺 Watch video episode…

Humans do not come from Africa 1:16:56

منذ 19 يومًا1:16:56

1:16:56

There is historical evidence of multiple human races originating in different parts of the world, and Darwinian evolution is nonsense. Bruce Fenton, author of The Forgotten Exodus: The Into Africa Theory of Human Evolution , also doesn't buy it. He argues that humans didn't originate in Africa and then migrate 'out of Africa.' Instead, they originated in various places around the world and eventually made their way into Africa. Talking points: Political influences on anthropology Migration patterns and early human evidence in multiple locations Darwinian evolution is junk science Multiple human races Extraterrestrial (or God) connections to human origins 📺 Watch video episode…
