This week we talked about the "Abundance Agenda" and it's roots in the Effective Altruism movement.

A network of think tanks, Silicon Valley billionaires, and centrist pundits are getting all riled up about zoning ordinances, and possibly trying to take over the Democratic Party? Oh boy.

We explore the dark side of Effective Altruism, men's rights activists, IQ Realists, "race science," eugenicists and more lurking in a movement where the biggest scoundrels in society are mixing with Vox writers- EA! This episode was a wild ride, let us know what you think.

We'll be back with Thiel Part 2 next week but we had to know-- why did an Atlantic writer podcast with a Nazi?
