In this episode, I sit down with investigative journalist and historian Johnny Vedmore to explore the findings of his recent article The Third Culture Dossier, which examines Elon Musk’s links to Jeffrey Epstein and the broader networks shaping today’s technocracy.
We look at the quiet evolution of power—how old neoconservative structures are being rebranded in digital form, and how figures like Musk are positioned within that transformation. Johnny shares how platforms like Edge.org, funded by Epstein, brought together the tech elite under the guise of scientific progress, and what that reveals about influence, media, and manipulation.
Alongside the heavy material, we also talk about Johnny’s upbringing, his experiences with reenactment communities and strategy games, and how these shaped his understanding of history and control. The conversation ranges from simulation theory to lucid dreams, AI, behavioral economics, and how narratives are managed in the digital age.
