177 - Wave Bye-Bye to the Bureaucrat & Last Chance Tours, Inc

South Koreans have a bizarre way of keeping track of people's ages, and it's going out of style. Sean Penn is a vile idiot who should've saved us all on 9/11. Some run of the mill tech-bro got a wild hair up his ass and is emotionlessly, delusionally, grandiosly and obsessively chasing after immortality via some hybrid of internalized Mormonism and The Singularity style futurism guru insanity. Cancer cases have skyrocketed in the last 30 years. AI-equipped robots are CEOs now. "Last-Chance Tourism" raises questions about how we interface with climate cataclysm, who's ultmately most responsible and just how precisely fucked are we and when exactly?
