For this episode I spoke to James Brennan (@jt_bren) who has been finishing up his Masters at the University of Colorado focused on crypto. As part of his research he took a dep dive into the infamous group behind the Miladys NFT collection, Remilia Corp.

During the discussion we spoke about esoteric political ideologies professed by Remilia and those associated with it, their financialized tactics for earning revenue, and all of the controversies surrounding the project. We also asked ourselves the very uncomfortable question of whether their tactics are something the left could learn from.

My previous episode with Adam from Acid Horizon where we talked about effective accelerationism is a good primer for this episode.
