Gabriel Custodiet speaks with historian Tom DiLorenzo about his efforts to expose Abraham Lincoln. Pushing against the soft “saint-like” treatment that historians have granted Lincoln, DiLorenzo exposes Lincoln’s totalitarian tendencies, his contribution to the birth of American fiat currency, his war crimes, among other reasons to have disdain for the lauded president. Ultimately DiLorenzo explains how court historians can twist our understanding of history, use this twisting to advance the ends of the status quo, and themselves alter the course of history.

152 - Emmanuel Maggiori: False Promises of AI and Silicon Valley
Gabriel Custodiet speaks with Emmanuel Maggiori, author of several books on artificial intelligence and Silicon Valley. Specifically, Maggiori speaks on the disappointments of these over-hyped industries, the crazy over-funding, and the simultaneous culture of workers who have nothing to do. The discussion also veers toward AI and the reasons why AI in its current form has limited benefits, many unsolvable flaws, and will not match the hype attached to it: not even close.
