In this episode of Plausibly Deniable, the boys investigate the greatest arbitrage in modern America: food trucks, male slop, crockpots, Discord servers, fake enterprise software, BlueAnon, healthcare middlemen, manifesto technology, European decline, and a raccoon bite story that probably should have gone to a doctor.

They also get into Polymarket AI model markets, why Discord should just rebrand itself as Slack for adults, why cooking for one person is fake productivity, whether every market can be explained with rugs, and why the modern political internet keeps producing increasingly deranged mythology.Sponsored by:Polymarket: https://polymarket.comZcash: https://z.cashCitizenX: https://citizenx.comNetwork Press: https://network.press_______________________________Plausibly Deniable: https://plausiblydeniable.orgLukas: https://x.com/SCHIZO_FREQSaila: https://x.com/sailaunderscore

Christian Angermeyer joins Plausibly Deniable to discuss the Enhanced Games, performance-enhancing drugs, psychedelic medicine, longevity, telehealth, ambition, and building companies around controversial ideas before they become mainstream.

Christian argues that the debate around performance enhancement is stuck in moral panic, bad incentives, and missing data. He explains why the Enhanced Games are designed not just as a sports spectacle, but as a research and media platform: athletes competing with medically supervised enhancement, data being collected at scale, and a broader business built around health, recovery, and human performance.

We also get into the ethics of PEDs, whether banning enhancement actually harms athletes, why recovery may be the real performance unlock, how psychedelics went from fringe to medical legitimacy, what founders misunderstand about ambition, and Christian’s path from European finance to building and selling a major African banking group.

Absolutely none of this is medical, financial, or spiritual advice

Lomez joins Plausibly Deniable for a long conversation on the old internet, the rise of online politics, academia, Gamergate, Twitter, AI, prediction markets, publishing, and the strange incentives of modern work.

We talk about Lomez’s path from an early remote job at Google to academia, how 2014-era campus politics pushed him online, the evolution of the dissident right, the social justice warrior era, the shifting meaning of “woke is over,” and how internet subcultures moved from fringe jokes to real political force.

We also get into Passage Press, Lomez’s publishing company, including its role in preserving online writing, publishing controversial or neglected work, and building something closer to the “real economy” than most internet projects. Check out Passage Press and use promo code PD10.

Later, the conversation turns to AI, Claude vs ChatGPT, the tech right, Bannon-style anti-tech populism, X vs YouTube, bot accusations, gender war discourse, office jobs, girlboss marketing, and whether the “normie job” fantasy is actually just another internet mirage.
