106 - Simplex Chat Private Messenger Jun 05, 2024

Gabriel speaks with Evgeny, the founder of Simplex Chat. Simplex is a recent and still-developing private messaging app with a slant toward privacy over convenience. Evgeny gives his critical thoughts on other private messengers, explains how privacy software can fund itself, exposes the myth of disappearing messages, and gets into some of the finer details of how Simplex Chat has made different choices from its competitors. In particular Simplex gets rid of accounts altogether, allowing you to create as many “profiles” as you want that are localized to your device. The result is, as Evgeny says, Simplex knows nothing about its users.

46 - Jayant Bhandari: The Reality of the Third World Dec 21, 2022

Gabriel Custodiet speaks with contrarian cultural thinker Jayant Bhandari. Bhandari views politics as subsidiary to culture, and thus culture as the first principle from which to begin one’s analysis. He explains the rarely-acknowledged unchanging depravities of the Third World which are leading it toward collapse: all stemming from a lack of reason and thus moral consciousness. Bhandari also gives his thoughts on a variety of other matters, such as the 2016 Indian banknote demonetisation, the prevalence of Indian scammers, and how to cultivate fearlessness as a speaker.
