## Resource

Yesterday morning I had Tommy Carrigan on the podcast for the first time. I was on his podcast a while back and it was time to return the favor. We talked about current events, the changing media environment and what it means for future psyops, and how new technology could lead to an age of abundance or something a lot worse. It was a fun conversation and a change of pace from focusing exclusively on current events and markets, and if you enjoy going down rabbit holes and talking conspiracies, you will enjoy this one. You can find Tommy’s Podcast on all the podcast platforms, and he’s definitely an entertaining follow on Twitter (when he’s not banned). Podcast Summary * His experience during COVID, and being one of the first to have doctors like Robert Malone and Peter McCullough on his podcast. * The situation in the Middle East, his problems with putting boots on the ground, and the parallels to the Global War On Terror. * The difference in the generational point of view when it comes to current events and media. * How current events and changes in the Overton Window are either a long-term psyop or an emergent phenomenon. * How psyops and conspiracies have a shorter shelf life today compared to a couple decades ago. * The modern day Operation Mockingbird equivalent that is happening on social media and podcasts. * Changes in technology, why we could see power that is too cheap to meter, and the future of AI, and where that leads over the next couple years and for future decades. * Book Recommendations: Base Nation by David Vine & The Generals Have No Clothes by Will Arkin.
