In this episode, Mookie Spitz unloads on the modern internet — tracing its slide from the glorious chaos of Usenet, IRC, and walled-off forums into today’s algorithm-choked, centralized cesspool. He argues for a smarter, AI-driven return to decentralization: digital “tribes” where like-minded people can gather, free from trolling, doomscrolling, and spam, but still get jolts of outside ideas to keep it fresh.
Along the way, he breaks down why Twitter became a global trash fire, how Facebook sold out its own garden walls for ad dollars, why TikTok’s AI actually gets it (for now), and how the future might belong to our bots — with or without us. It’s sharp, irreverent, and maybe a bit unhinged, but it’ll make you rethink what “fixing the internet” should really look like.
Listen in if you want a brainy rant on how we got here, where we’re headed, and how we might claw our way out.
