In this conversation, Larry Sanger explains how Wikipedia's governance structure allowed anonymous editors, activist groups, PR firms, and institutional power to capture what became the world's default source of truth. This isn't a culture-war rant. It's a structural explanation of how neutrality failed and why reform may no longer be possible. We discuss: – How Wikipedia was originally designed – Why expert review was rejected – Anonymous power and editor oligarchies – Activism, PR firms & source blacklists – Israel, Trump & political bias – Why "consensus" became enforcement – Whether AI will replace Wikipedia – Why Sanger believes Wikipedia may be finished - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – Introduction 01:52 – How Wikipedia was originally built 09:13 – Wikipedia as a de facto truth engine 12:42 – Anonymous power inside Wikipedia 14:56 – Editors, bans and arbitrary authority 20:24 – Israel, Trump & political bias 27:29 – Activism, PR firms and capture 32:11 – Can neutrality even exist? 37:02 – Can AI be more neutral than humans? 41:03 – Testing Wikipedia with AI 49:03 – Is Wikipedia cooked? 58:56 – Why "consensus" became enforcement 01:05:30 – Source blacklists explained 01:15:12 – What Wikipedia has become 01:33:37 – Will AI replace Wikipedia? 01:40:24 – Would Sanger turn it off? 01:44:01 – Final warning - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – [email protected] › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH LARRY SANGER › Website – https://larrysanger.org/nine-theses/ › Substack – https://larrysanger.org/2025/10/grokipedia-a-first-look/ › Twitter – https://x.com/lsanger › Son's Website – https://encyclosearch.org/ SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04

This country doesn't work anymore. In this episode, I explain why I no longer believe voting can fix what's broken and why the real problem isn't left vs right, race vs race, or party vs party but unconstrained government power. This is a continuation of ideas sparked by recent debates around Nick Fuentes, Carl Benjamin, identity politics and the collapse of legitimacy in modern democracies. I'm not calling for violence. I'm not calling for chaos. I'm calling for something far more dangerous to the state: Withdrawal of consent. This is a conversation about: – Why living standards never improve – Why every government consolidates power – Why identity politics is a trap – Why money printing breaks societies – And why peaceful, lawful non-compliance may be inevitable SHOW NOTES › https://substack.com/@petermccormack › https://www.inolongerconsent.com/ › https://x.com/ConsentEnds CONTACT PETE › Website - http://petermccormack.com › Feedback - https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email - [email protected] › Instagram - /mccormack555 › X/Twitter - https://x.com/petermccormack/ SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – Introduction 01:55 – "This Country Doesn't Work Anymore" 05:36 – Government as an Extractive Machine 06:33 – Nick Fuentes & Piers Morgan 09:41 – Why Identity Politics Makes the State Stronger 12:22 – Voting Isn't an Option 15:00 – What Withdrawing Consent Means 22:25 – Peaceful vs Violent Revolution 29:47 – Mass Lawful Non-compliance Explained 36:27 – Creating a Movement 40:54 – Uncontrolled Money Creation 48:26 – Separation of Money & State 51:00 – Final Position: Why I'm Convinced This is Right - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Carl Benjamin is a political commentator and cultural critic. This discussion focuses on diagnosis — not slogans — and on understanding consequences before they arrive. Young men aren't radicalising because of ideology, they're reacting to a world that no longer works for them. In this conversation with Carl Benjamin, we break down why the post-war consensus has collapsed, why politics feels illegitimate and why a generation feels pushed to the edge. In this episode we discuss: – Why young men feel shut out of the system – The collapse of the post-WWII consensus – Piers Morgan, Nick Fuentes, and generational revolt – Identity politics vs material reality – Legitimacy, consent, and non-compliance – Why politics no longer fixes anything – What happens when power has no limits – Why discomfort is unavoidable - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:04:18 – Why Young Men Feel Politically Homeless 00:11:42 – Moral Outrage vs Material Reality 00:19:27 – Why Figures Like Nick Fuentes Resonate 00:27:53 – Identity Politics and Manufactured Resentment 00:36:41 – Media Incentives and the Outrage Economy 00:48:12 – Piers Morgan, Debate Culture, and Spectacle 01:01:08 – Loss of Legitimacy in Institutions 01:15:18 – What Happens if Nothing Changes 01:32:44 – Generational Breaking Point 01:35:21 – Final Warnings and Consequences - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – [email protected] › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH CARL BENJAMIN › Website – https://lotuseaters.com/ › Twitter – https://x.com/Sargon_of_Akkad SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I've reached an inflection point. I no longer believe Britain's political system can fix itself. This isn't about left vs right, Labour vs Conservative, or the next election. It's about unconstrained power, broken incentives and a system that rewards failure while hollowing out the next generation. In this PMQs episode, I explain why I'm withdrawing my consent from the British state and why so many young people have already done the same. This isn't apathy. It's a vote of no confidence. In this episode: – Why politicians care about only one thing: staying in power – How unconstrained government creates inevitable failure – The collapse of trust in institutions – Why young people feel betrayed by the system – Nick Fuentes, Piers Morgan & generational revolt – Why Reform and the Greens are the same phenomenon – The moral failure of intergenerational debt – Why Britain needs limits on power, not new parties SHOW NOTES › https://substack.com/@petermccormack › https://x.com/PiersUncensored/status/1998127009981947930 › http://youtube.com/watch?v=UiAhS7AuB8k › https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkK312fMPsQ&t=3814s › https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TEnJ5pyFDg › https://graceblakeley.substack.com/p/generation-despair CONTACT PETE › Website - http://petermccormack.com › Feedback - https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email - [email protected] › Instagram - /mccormack555 › X/Twitter - https://x.com/petermccormack/ SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – I've Reached an Inflection Point 02:06 – Why All Governments Are Set to Fail 05:43 – The One Thing All Politicians Care About 08:23 – Nick Fuentes, Piers Morgan & Moral Outrage 12:43 – Why Young People Don't Care Anymore 19:18 – Collapse of Institutional Trust 24:24 – We Sold the Future to Avoid Recessions 27:10 – The Rise of Reform & the Greens Explained 30:44 – Withdrawing Consent from the State 45:13 – Why Britain Needs Limits on Power - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Mike Green is a macro strategist known for his work on market structure, benchmark distortions, passive flows and systemic fragility. A single benchmark shaped American markets and policy for decades and economist Mike Green believes it distorted risk, inflated asset prices, weakened the middle class and misled policymakers about the true state of the economy. In this conversation, he breaks down how a flawed model became accepted as truth, how it quietly rewired incentives, and why he thinks the consequences are now impossible to ignore. In this episode we discuss: – What the "broken benchmark" actually is – How flawed assumptions shaped U.S. economic policy – Why markets mispriced risk for decades – The rise of passive flows and distorted price signals – How asset inflation hurt the middle class – Why housing affordability collapsed – Why policymakers didn't correct the model – The structural consequences for future generations – Whether America can fix the system without a crisis – How the UK is importing the same benchmark problems - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – How a Benchmark Became a National Problem 00:16:24 – The Rise of Passive Flows & Market Distortion 00:32:18 – Why America Misprices Risk 00:48:05 – Asset Inflation & the Middle-Class Squeeze 01:04:22 – Housing, Debt & Structural Fragility 01:19:57 – Why Policymakers Didn't Fix the Benchmark 01:36:44 – Elites, Incentives & the Illusion of Prosperity 01:53:30 – The UK's Imported Benchmark Problem 02:10:42 – What a Saner Benchmark Would Look Like 02:27:15 – Future Scenarios & Final Thoughts - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – [email protected] › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH MIKE GREEN › Website – https://www.simplify.us › Twitter – https://x.com/profplum99 › Substack – https://substack.com/@michaelwgreen SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04

Modern economics is built on competing theories that often describe the world in very different ways. In this conversation, economist Steve Keen sets out his explanation for how money works, why he believes mainstream economic models fail, and why debt, banking and housing play a far greater role in economic crises than most policymakers acknowledge. Keen's perspective challenges the assumptions of neoclassical, Keynesian and Austrian economists alike. In this episode we discuss: – How economics became political ideology – Why neoclassical theory broke the West – The Left vs Right illusion in economic policy – What money really is (and how banks actually create it) – Why inflation is misunderstood by almost everyone – How private debt fuels instability and inequality – Housing, mortgages & the destruction of the middle class – Why equilibrium economics is fantasy – What a sane, reality-based economic model looks like – How young people can survive a debt-driven system Economics didn't fail by accident — it failed because ideology replaced reality. Steve Keen is one of the world's leading heterodox economists, known for his critiques of mainstream theory and his work on private debt, banking, financial instability and the 2008 crisis, which he warned about years in advance. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – Introduction 00:03:12 – Why Economics Became Ideology 00:09:04 – Economists vs Reality 00:14:47 – How Money Actually Works 00:21:18 – Banks, Loans & Money Creation 00:33:44 – Inflation: What Really Drives It 00:38:59 – Wages, Markups & Bargaining Power 00:47:55 – The Housing Crisis Explained 00:54:03 – Deregulation & the Death of Affordability 00:59:22 – Middle Class Collapse 01:04:48 – Left and Right Get Economics Wrong 01:11:02 – Neoclassical Economics 01:17:26 – The Problem With Economic Models 01:22:31 – Why Economists Misunderstand Production 01:28:08 – AI, Automation & The Future of Work 01:44:28 – Structural Failures 01:55:46 – Can Government Use Good Economics? 02:01:23 – Global Debt, Fragility & Future Crises 02:06:40 – What Would Real Reform Look Like? 02:13:28 – Why Young Generations Feel Hopeless 02:19:47 – Can We Build a Post-Ideological Economics? 02:25:10 – Final Thoughts - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – [email protected] › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH STEVE KEEN › Website – https://www.patreon.com/ProfSteveKeen › Twitter – https://x.com/profstevekeen SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Inflation isn't an economic metric — it's a political tactic. When governments lie about inflation, they're not miscalculating; they're stealing from you. Economist Karl-Friedrich Israel explains how inflation quietly enriches asset holders, punishes workers and pushes Europe into a slow, silent decline. If your living standards are falling while politicians insist everything is fine, this conversation will make sense of it. If you still believe governments can print prosperity without consequences, you won't enjoy what follows. In this episode we discuss: – How inflation secretly taxes the poor – Why CPI hides the real cost of living – Europe's long, slow economic decay – The rise of modern socialism – Cronyism vs capitalism – Collective corruption of elites – Why asset inflation fuels inequality – The Argentina warning – Whether Bitcoin can fix the money – AI, automation & the coming labour shock Britain is being lied to — and people are finally waking up. Karl-Friedrich Israel is a German economist specialising in monetary policy, inflation and inequality. His work reveals the economic mechanisms accelerating Europe's decline. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – The Inflation Lie 00:06:21 – CPI vs Real Cost of Living 00:12:13 – Inequality: What's Legit, What Isn't 00:14:02 – Why Socialism Is Surging Again 00:19:34 – Inflation as Political Illusion 00:24:10 – Welfare, Dependence & the Trap 00:26:47 – Argentina, Milei & Monetary Chaos 00:33:16 – Should We Abolish Central Banks? 00:37:21 – Europe's Coming Decline 00:53:59 – Brain Drain & the Death of Opportunity 00:58:07 – Academia's Ideological Capture 01:23:02 – AI, Job Loss & the Future Economy 01:39:19 – Bitcoin, Freedom & The Path Forward - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – [email protected] › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH KARL-FRIEDRICH ISRAEL › Website – https://kfisrael.com/ SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Labour's second budget is here and it's another full-blown tax raid. They've hit workers again, squeezed savers again, blown up the welfare bill again and still delivered nothing for business, growth or the people who actually drive the economy. If you earn, save, build or invest, Labour just came back for round two: punishing work, killing incentives and pushing the UK deeper into decline.

Laila Cunningham joins me to discuss the cultural crisis facing Britain and the West. We talk about mass immigration, the failure of multiculturalism, political identity, social disintegration, and the collapse of national cohesion. Laila explores the deep psychological impact of globalist policies, the struggle for meaning in a hyper-liberal age, and why the youth are increasingly disillusioned with progressive narratives. Is there a path back to order, tradition, and identity?

Former Conservative MP Guy Opperman joins me to discuss rebuilding Britain from the ground up. We explore local banking, Bitcoin's potential role in pensions, infrastructure challenges, and how community action can revitalise struggling towns. Drawing on his 14 years in Parliament and time as Pensions Minister, Guy explains why grassroots civic leadership and decentralisation are key to fixing Britain's broken economy.

Businessman, former MEP, and leader of Advance UK Ben Habib joins The Peter Mccormack Show to deliver a blistering critique of Britain's political and constitutional decline. In this discussion, Ben exposes how Tony Blair's reforms, the Human Rights Act, and decades of globalist policies have eroded British sovereignty, weakened our borders, and crippled our economy. We discuss the collapse of public trust, the migration crisis, EU entanglements, judicial overreach, and why Keir Starmer's Labour government poses an existential threat to Britain's future. Ben reveals Advance UK's plan to rebuild the nation from the ground up: secure our borders, return power to Parliament, revive our economy, and defend British values.

Labour MP Josh Simons joins The Peter McCormack Show for a frank discussion on Britain's broken system and his mission to fix it from within. As founder of the Labour Growth Group, Simons challenges his own party's orthodoxy on tax and the "win-win" rhetoric of the political establishment. He lays out a vision to put working-class people back at the heart of politics , rebuild our broken institutions , and radically rethink education for the age of AI. This is a blueprint for a different kind of Labour party and a look at how a new generation of politician is tackling the UK's decline.

Swiss politician Samuel Kullmann joins The Peter McCormack Show for a deep dive into Switzerland's unique model of governance and why it offers a powerful alternative to Britain's broken system. Kullmann breaks down the power of direct democracy, the importance of decentralised government, and how a nation run by part-time politicians with real-world skin in the game avoids the corruption and incompetence plaguing Westminster. Drawing a sharp contrast, he compares the stable, prosperous, citizen-led approach of Switzerland with the top-down, bureaucratic failure that is driving the UK's decline and wealth exodus. This is a lesson in how real democracy works, a blueprint for political accountability, and a vision of a future where power truly belongs to the people.

Historian David Starkey returns to The Peter McCormack Show for a blistering historical analysis of why modern Britain is broken. Starkey unleashes on the 'neophilia' of the Blair years, the catastrophe of incorporating universal human rights into English law, and the failure of modern conservatism to defend the nation's unique heritage. Drawing a line from the French Revolution to today, he contrasts the organic, bottom-up wisdom of English individualism with the top-down, bureaucratic model of continental Europe. This is a lesson in the ideas that underpin true liberty, the importance of historical continuity, and the urgent need to recover the values that once made Britain exceptional.

Max Winga, an AI safety advocate from Control AI, joins The Peter McCormack Show for a sobering look at the existential risk posed by artificial intelligence. In this episode, Max reveals how the reckless race for superintelligence, a profound lack of enforceable safety measures, and the apathy of global governance are putting humanity on a potential path to extinction. We explore the chilling capabilities of emerging AI, the concept of a runaway "intelligence explosion," why top AI researchers are sounding the alarm, and what happens when we can no longer control our own creations.

Kathryn Porter, energy analyst and founder of Watt-Logic, joins The Peter McCormack Show for a data-driven takedown of the UK's broken energy system. In this episode, Kathryn exposes how Net Zero ideology, civil service incompetence, and corporate rent-seeking have driven up bills, destabilised the grid and betrayed the public. We dive into the real cost of wind, the myth of "cheap renewables," the politics behind energy policy and why nuclear and gas remain the only viable paths forward. This is a forensic, clear-eyed look at the UK's energy crisis and what needs to happen to fix it.
