b'We\\u2019re joined once again by co-host of TrashFuture, Riley Quinn, as we conduct further investigations into the mind of the Thought Leader. We start with a journey back to some of the Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 progenitors of the modern day big ideas bozo. From the counterculture libertarians and (allegedly) coke-addled entrepreneurs to the meme hustlers and corporate grifters. Weird how so many of them ended up flying on the Lolita Express? Anyways\\u2026 nothing to see here, move along. We then consider how the Thought Leaders\\u2019 jobs at the consent factory have now been automated by capital \\u2013 just another unfortunate victim of disruption.\\n\\nFollow Riley (https://twitter.com/raaleh) and listen to TrashFuture (https://trashfuturepodcast.podbean.com/).
