E374. A Revolution Against Tech Is Coming - Mike Solana

Mike Solana joins Bridget for a fascinating conversation about America's shifting political fault lines, why critiquing tech is critiquing power, and the coming Luddite backlash. They discuss Mamdani's Marxist housing advisor calling for the seizure of private homes (especially from the white middle class), and then crying about it when confronted with questions, the social justice ideas that escaped academia, why Solana thinks that "real leftism" is coming, and why social media is probably net negative. They cover his journey from 23-year-old anarchist to Peter Thiel protégé, to Chief Marketing Officer of Founder’s Fund, to founder of Pirate Wires, how the whole geopolitical landscape is shifting so fast that we’re all struggling to keep up, looksmaxxing Incels, why we need to focus on integration and not immigration, and how we forget how dumb the average person really is. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsor Links: - Try Qualia Stem for up to 50% off at qualialife.com/BRIDGET and use the code BRIDGET for an additional 15% off your order - - Quest offers 100+ lab tests to empower you to have more control over your health journey.
