About this episode

This episode discusses compliance refusal through various lenses, including athlete expression and the implications of AI on society and labor.

This episode explores what it means to refuse compliance -- from a Ukrainian Olympian disqualified for honoring fallen compatriots to America's growing unease with #AI. The Drs. look at the IOC's crackdown on athlete expression, the politics of memory, and why conscientious objection still matters far beyond the battlefield. Then, they discuss AI's rapid expansion, the lack of guardrails (pun intended and you'll learn why), and what happens when a country that ties identity to labor fears becoming obsolete.
