It's a big one, prayer warriors and pay pigs. Kenny and Virgil are headed down Dumbledore's Hole into the Realm of Singularity and the School of Less Wrong, a theory that may or may not have been invented by a published fanfic writer who is so terrified of death that he takes 100 pills a day. Joined by the level-headed economics understander, Greg of Gorilla Radio Show, the trio take a gander at a world filled with rouge AI, rationalism, atheist movements, private islands, "think tanks", libertarians, rational polyamory, Harry Potter, Jeffrey Epstein connections, and Grimes.
