Jake Green of Peaceful Sea Productions joins Zach and Elizabeth for a wide-ranging tour through the surveillance state’s latest toys.
They start with a throwback: the 2013-era panic over Bitcoin’s energy use, and why nobody in the media seems bothered that AI data centers now consume vastly more power with a fraction of the outrage.
From there it’s nuclear reactors coming back online (including one NASA wants on the moon by 2030), satellites beaming solar power down to Earth, and Lockheed Martin’s vague teases about “magical” classified tech.
Then things get personal: new state laws protecting your brain data, headbands that read your sleep patterns, a Chinese elementary school that monitored kids’ attention spans, and the incoming mandate for driver-monitoring cameras in every new car.
They close it out with FIFA’s turning every World Cup player into a digital twin, and what that means for VAR, trust in your own eyes, and the future of “watching” sports at all.
Jake also talks about his other projects, including his true crime podcast The Cascade Effect and his weekly roundtable Liberty Libations, plus his work with the Ludlow Institute alongside Naomi Brockwell.
