Episode 413

Replacing humans with non-suicidal robots would get rid of environmental concerns, as well as all these pesky, GDP-busting human problems like hunger and fear. But would the courts even be able to examine their algorithms if a robot turns killer? They also discuss how a robo-pope would be first truly infallible pontifex. In the second half of the show, Max talks to author, comedian and gold bug Dominic Frisby about death crosses and gold prices, and about independent currencies – whether the Keiser dollar, the Frisby pound or the bitcoin.
