Update: 2025-05-22

Description

Tonight on The Grind, we decode the calm behind the chaos, tracking threats that scream louder when they’re silent. From nuclear poker to tectonic sabotage and digital doomsday, Art Grindstone unpacks what the headlines miss and what the shadows whisper. Buckle in—this one runs deep. In this episode:

🧨 Russia’s Nuclear Bluff
Why the West didn’t blink—satellites, SIGINT, and submarine patrols revealed more theater than threat. We read between the warheads and expose the psychology behind the Kremlin’s atomic saber-rattling.
🌌 James Webb vs. the Universe’s Script
Galaxies too big, too early, and too elegant—Webb's latest finds break the cosmic syllabus. Is our Big Bang timeline cracked?
🌕 The Moon as Alien Machine
Seismic echoes, whistleblowers, and helium-3 conspiracy: from hollow shell theories to lunar lockdowns, we revisit the Moon’s strangest secrets.
🕳️ America Is Sinking… Literally
Tectonic “dripping,” collapsing aquifers, and a loaded Cascadia fault—why the ground beneath the U.S. is folding like a bad poker hand.
🧬 God in the Gaps? A Chemist’s Proof
Dr. James Tour brings math and molecular despair to the origin-of-life debate. Is science out of explanations—or just out of patience?
📢 Whistleblowers and the War on Silence
From Ellsberg to Snowden, we track the cost of speaking up—and what it buys us when the lights flicker on.
🤖 AI’s Existential Math Problem
Misaligned incentives, recursive feedback loops, and rogue code—why researchers fear not killer robots but indifferent algorithms moving faster than oversight.
