b'We\\u2019re joined by co-host of TrashFuture \\u2013 and friend of TMK from the start \\u2013 Riley Quinn as we examine the brain of the Thought Leader. Forged in the fires of the financial crash, driven mad by Internet induced techno-optimism, brains smoothly polished by the infinite growth of a zero interest rate world \\u2013 the modern day Thought Leader is the charlatan in the court of tech capital. They spend their days promoting Big Ideas Books that contain remarkably little thinking, while asserting all the solutions to complex societal problems. But that\\u2019s okay because they aren\\u2019t really meant to be read by anybody anyways. Unless, of course, you\\u2019re Riley.\\n\\nFollow Riley (https://twitter.com/raaleh) and listen to TrashFuture (https://trashfuturepodcast.podbean.com/).
