In 2013 the anthropologist David Graeber examined one of the strangest contradictions in modern capitalism: despite exponential gains in productivity, people were working even harder that ever. In his landmark essay called “On the Preponderance of Bullshit Jobs” and then a book a few years later, Graeber showed how as much as 37% of all jobs in capitalist societies are, well, bullshit. Or, to use his own words “where even the person doing the job secretly believes the job really shouldn’t exist.(...) But nonetheless, part of the conditions of employment is that you have to pretend that it does.”Graeber wasn’t the first to notice the problem. Back in 1930 the economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that ever-increasing industrial output from factories would make it possible for everyone on earth to work 15 hours a week. Within a few decades the economy met his expectations, but people’s workloads didn’t get lighter. Fast forward to today, and the question of Bullshit jobs is once again on everyone’s lips. Everyone from Bill Gates to Sam Altman and Elon Musk have heralded AI as the new harbinger of the 15 hour work week. After all, the very things that AI is supposedly good at—getting rid of menial intellectual labor and automating digital tasks—are exactly the sorts of things that will get automated away.But here’s the thing, what if bullshit work isn’t a bug in industrial captialsim? But that it is it’s key feature?In this week’s video I dig into why Bullshit work is almost definitely here to stay despite the promises of tech barons.

Dr. Brad Stanfield, a primary care physician from New Zealand and friend of this channel, did something heroic. He crowdfunded over $720,000 to put the “miracle drug” to the test. The results are finally in, and they aren’t what anyone expected. I brought @DrBradStanfield onto the show to talk about what they mean.

Mikhaila Peterson called me a “moron.” Probably because she doesn’t want me to talk about her own health advice and control over her father’s medical care could be making him sicker than he already is.Get Early Access on Substackhttps://sgcarney.substack.com/Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3PyxGKt94kLzVqkkjEgRFw/joinScott Carney Homepage:https://www.scottcarney.comPatreon: https://patreon.com/sgcarneySPONSOR THIS CHANNEL:(Rate Sheet) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WZcGlb0r3d4iZjduPcVcqEqF05vsGdHO/view?usp=sharingDISCLAIMER: (Updated Mar 2026): All content herein constitutes commentary and opinion based on investigative journalism conducted with (i) publicly available documents, (ii) interviews, and (iii) other verifiable sources.

The Epstein files are a spotlight into the twisted life of the world’s most notorious sex trafficker and the billionaires and oligarchs that took advantage of young women and children. Even the redacted trove of more than 3 million documents by the Department of Justice proves that his ring of abuse went much farther than just to satisfy his sadism, but that the things that went on in his island were vitally connected to a pool of a dark money empire that exists in parallel to the ordinary economy. But what happens when we look beyond the official government releases and cross reference information in the Epstein files with another investigative journalism goldmine: a 2017 trove of leaked banking documents called “The Paradise Papers”. Read together, these two archives of material tell an even darker story about the real importance of Jeffrey Epstein. Which is why I’ve brought Craig Unger onto the show today. He’s an investigative journalist, former editor of the Boston Magazine and a multi-new york times best selling author who, like the rest of the independent journalists trying to survive the media apocalypse, now writes on Substack. A few weeks ago he broke the Paradise Papers - Epstein connection in a piece titled “Jeffrey Epstein’s Really Big Short.” Craig Unger's Substack: https://craigunger.substack.comEpstein's Really Big Short: https://craigunger.substack.com/p/jeffrey-epsteins-really-big-shortGet Early Access on Substackhttps://sgcarney.substack.com/

Would you invest in something that you fundamentally don’t trust? I’m not just talking about money here. I’m talking about investing every ounce of your life’s work, the safety of your family, your children’s future. I’m talking about everything.

You’ve heard of Project 2025: the manifesto that has become the de facto guiding light for the second Trump administration. Its twisted Christian-nationalist agenda has brought us a wave of ICE raids across America, tax cuts for billionaire, gutted climate policies and using the FBI to prosecute and harass political opponents. Project 2025 was written by the conservative DC think tank, the Heritage Foundation, which recently released a new vision for women’s role in society called “Saving America by Saving the Family: A Foundation for the Next 250 Years” that aims to severely curtail women’s rights, including the right to divorce and maybe even vote. To talk about it today I’ve brought on the New York Times opinion columnist and author of the book “Screaming on the Inside: The Unsustainability of American Motherhood” Jessica Grose onto the show today.Jess Grose on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/jessgrosewrites/Her website: https://jessicagrose.com/Get Early Access on Substackhttps://sgcarney.substack.com/Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3PyxGKt94kLzVqkkjEgRFw/join

When thousands of ICE agents descended on Minneapolis and began kidnapping people off the streets, the residents didn’t just stand by and let it all happen. Ordinary citizens like you and me spontaneously organized on Signal chats and began tracking ICE’s movements through they city. They warned their most vulnerable neighbors with whistles and car alarms and video taped arrests across the city. Friends of mine began delivering food to people too scared to leave their houses and carpooled their children to school. All of this happened in the face of ever-increasing violence from a fascist-anti-democratic state with seemingly unlimited resources to spend on harassing ordinary Americans. On today’s show I wanted to reflect on the miraculous organization of an effective citizen resistance in Minneapolis and offer hope to people in other cities who have not yet had ICE land on their doorstep. The murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti have supercharged the active resistance movement in across America. The lessons of Minneapolis will spread across the country. In this video I’m going to discuss how you can get involved and join the resistance more actively than just posting angry messages on social media. My guest today is Jack Jones, better known as Quadzilla. He’s an ex-army infantryman and wild land firefighter who has been organizing information about the decline of America’s democratic order and fall into totalitarianism. When I first started following him a year ago my thoughts were–oh man, this guy is extreme. He was telling Americans to arm themselves and get ready for occupation. I think that Jack was something of an oracle who saw what was happening before anyone wanted to believe he was right. Get Early Access on Substackhttps://sgcarney.substack.com/

The mental health of the American president is critical to the future of the country–and it’s clear to even a casual observer of Donald Trump that his patterns of speech, inability to state the truth on just about any subject, and the apparent joy he gets out of watching other people suffer–indicate that something strange is going on in the way he perceives the world.Psychiatrists are often reluctant to speculate diagnosing someone in the absence of a face-to-face clinical exam. And yet, it appears that Trump has taken several such exams–including brain scans and mental acuity tests–that he brags about, but never releases reports on. Which is why I have brought Frank George, Ph.D. onto the show today. George holds a PhD in Psychology and Neuroscience from the University of Colorado Boulder, and was formerly the Chief of Behavioral and Biochemical Genetics at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). He’s an expert on narcissistic personality disorder and writes a popular substack that focuses on Trump’s Mental state called “The Gaslight Report” which I highly recommend you take a look at.Get Early Access on Substackhttps://sgcarney.substack.com/Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3PyxGKt94kLzVqkkjEgRFw/join

The first thing that you will notice when entering into the once-forbidden kingdom of Bhutan are its stunning landscapes. The second thing that will probably catch your eye are the tremendous number of erect phalluses that people paint on their walls. In today’s report, I want to explain why the man responsible for the striking designs might just be the original spiritual grifter. Drukpa Kunley was a former monk who, in the 1400’s, promised more than 1000 women than he would give them the gift of enlightenment just so long as they slept with him.
