It is more or less explicitly aimed at deskilling the masses while centralizing elite power. https://davidzmorris.substack.com/p/the-cybernetic-disease11 Jun 2026 15:16 +0000at://did:plc:lkmrmadl4fpy2s72emscmxgr/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnzjfrgkd22zhttps://bsky.app/profile/davidzmorris.bsky.social/post/3mm5rpiouc22qMy royalties are calculated every six months. So the next few weeks would be a GREAT time to buy Stealing the future. To nudge you, I’ve made the preview of one of my favorite sections of the book free. It's about sharks, death, and the Apocalypse. https://davidzmorris.substack.com/p/the-physical-impossibility-of-death18 May 2026 21:05 +0000at://did:plc:lkmrmadl4fpy2s72emscmxgr/app.bsky.feed.post/3mm5rpiouc22qhttps://bsky.app/profile/davidzmorris.bsky.social/post/3ml2dy27rhs2cOn the strange case of Katie Lin. Lin was a scam victim who hired a fraudulent tracing service to find her money. The report pointed to Tornado Cash, and she testified in Roman Storm's trial on that basis. Then the fraudulent trace was unmasked. https://youtu.be/kB5b0hOBuNY?si=nHUmSNN0_8hqmyxJ04 May 2026 18:56 +0000at://did:plc:lkmrmadl4fpy2s72emscmxgr/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml2dy27rhs2chttps://bsky.app/profile/davidzmorris.bsky.social/post/3mkxjxrnjb22eThe case against Roman Storm raises fundamental questions about freedom and privacy in the digital age. The trial was also marked by a bizarre tangle of procedural shenanigans. Most shocking may be the prosecution's mishandling of a witness named Hanfeng "Katie" Lin.

So today's Dark Markets is a normie rundown of the hilarious feud between @justinsuntron and @worldlibertyfi. For a crypto fraud watcher, this is basically the Superbowl. https://davidzmorris.substack.com/p/how-the-trumps-scammed-cryptos-dumbest15 Apr 2026 14:57 +0000at://did:plc:lkmrmadl4fpy2s72emscmxgr/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjk5rt2plk27https://bsky.app/profile/davidzmorris.bsky.social/post/3mjezntx3ns2zA point I almost never see made: If we get rid of just a few of the billionaires, we'll get a whole lot more millionaires.13 Apr 2026 14:00 +0000at://did:plc:lkmrmadl4fpy2s72emscmxgr/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjezntx3ns2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/davidzmorris.bsky.social/post/3mj3ly5s4as24After two weeks of digging, I think there's a verrrrrrry real possibility that OpenAI's planned IPO for late 2026 crashes and burns. A few points: - OpenAI's $122b raise was co-led by Softbank and Masayoshi Son - the same guy who told WeWork's Adam Neumann that he "wasn't crazy enough." 🧵follows09 Apr 2026 20:01 +0000at://did:plc:lkmrmadl4fpy2s72emscmxgr/app.bsky.feed.post/3mj3ly5s4as24
