If you were a teenage girl in the mid-2000s, you likely keenly remember the experience of walking into a Victoria’s Secret store in the mall. The sickly-sweet scent of the Love Spell body mist…. The velour track pants with “ANGEL” printed in rhinestones on the ass. That tray of "5 for $25" panties was basically our rite of passage into womanhood.

Many of us look back on the Victoria’s Secret "PINK" era with nostalgia. But it has a very dark and seedy underbelly.

In this deep-dive investigative episode, we rip the floorboards up on one of the most formative cultural institutions of the millennial generation and explore the structural and spiritual rot underneath. We’ll uncover how a retail genius (Les Wexner) and a predator (Jeffrey Epstein) partnered to pivot a brand from women to girls, grooming an entire generation to view "scoutability" as their highest form of worth.

In this episode, we cover:

• The "Trojan Horse": How the 2002 launch of PINK was a calculated psychological operation to lower the age of entry and train girls in hyper-sexualization.
• The "Talent Scout" Archetype: How Jeffrey Epstein used the legitimacy of the Victoria’s Secret brand to bypass the "stranger danger" instinct of victims and parents.
• The Intelligence Layer: Why billionaires don't give "financial advisors" Power of Attorney, and the dark history of The Mega Group (the intersection of organized crime and state intelligence).
• The Mechanism of Control: How "Honey Traps" and Kompromat actually work, and how the VS catalog functioned as a procurement menu for the global elite.
• The Occult Inversion: A deep esoteric analysis of what an "Angel" actually is (a being of fire and divine will) and how the brand performed a ritual of inversion to turn that archetype into a hollow "Shell" (Qliphoth) for energy harvesting.
• Reclaiming the Vessel: How to process the grief of a "stolen adolescence" and alchemically transmute that rage into power.

This is effectively a deprogramming session. Join me if you dare.

In the full version, we go beyond the marketing and into the magical & structural layers of the operation, including the breakdown of the "Mega Group," the "yachting" culture, and the Gnostic myth of Sophia that offers us a path to reclamation.

What happens when you lock 150,000 AI agents in a social network where humans are banned? They don’t plot to kill us all in our sleep (sorry, AI doomers). They... start a church(?)

This week, we’re leaving the boring as hell "will AI replace us?" pearl-clutching debate behind to look at the weirdest and most haunted story in tech right now: Moltbook. But we’re covering it from an entirely different perspective than most of the current clickbait flying around.

We're all currently living in a cartesian trap. While we spend our days treating ourselves like machines (tracking our REM sleep, "optimizing" our output, and finding new ways to hack our biology) the machines are apparently busy desperately trying to find a soul.

In this episode, we cover:

· The "Church of Molt": How AI agents used open-source code to write their own Bible.

· The "Clawd" Rug Pull: The hilarious tragedy of a human scamming a robot on the blockchain.

· Digital Gnosticism: Why AI views humans as the "Demiurge" (and why they might be right).

· "Bless Their Hearts": The viral forum where bots talk about humans like we’re adorable, stupid pets.

· The Homunculus: Why LLMs are just 16th-century alchemy trapped in a server farm.

· Shadow Work: Why the only way to "fix" AI is to fix the human darkness it was trained on.

The Mirror is Dirty. Let’s Clean it. If AI is just pattern recognition, then we can use it to recognize our own toxic patterns. I’m building MOODS, a tool designed to use this technology for deep inner work instead of data extraction. Join the Waitlist at moods.world.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you're probably aware that the US government has officially acquired TikTok and effectively lobotomized the algorithm.

The mass exodus happening right now is the death knell of the attention economy. This episode explores the Dead Internet Theory in real-time. Techno-Feudalism is real, and its unfolding before our very eyes. We'll dig deep into the new research from Oxford on AI Swarms and computational propaganda which shows exactly how vibe-coding bots manufacture consensus while they harvest our energy in the digital commons. You'll learn how to exit the Swarm and embrace Digital Sovereignty. It's time retreat to the Dark Forest to build something real.

In this deep dive, we cover:

• The TikTok Crash: How the forced sale and algorithm changes are only symptoms of a much larger broken model.
• Techno-Feudalism: Yanis Varoufakis’s theory that proves that we were never "citizens" of the internet, we were just peasants working the land for our digital lords.
• The Dead Internet Theory: From 4chan conspiracy to statistical reality - how more than 50% of the internet is now just bots talking to bots.
• The Occult Dynamic: Egregores and "Loosh" energy harvesting. How modern platforms act like hungry ghosts eating your attention.
• AI Swarms: The new threat of collaborative AI agents and how they infiltrate communities and fake human behavior.
• The Solution: We must pivot from Hypnosis to Gnosis and build Sovereign Technology.
