Context, Luke-Jr is an early Bitcoin adopter, literal Florida man, and all-around kook.

This is basically the plot of Charles Stross' The Jennifer Morgue.

If I hate something Robert Scoble likes, I automatically know I am on the right track.

Needs an Esso petrol station in Milan as the background.

This is the inevitable evolution of climate change denialism - accept it's real and happening, just that it's too late / too expensive to do anything about it.

gotta love how the screenshot makes him look like a vampire

The Wittenburg podcast sounds like right up my alley, thanks for the tip!
