Why Billionaires Are Building Bunkers for the Collapse

The elites are planning to survive the apocalypse, without us of course!

In this gripping conversation, legendary media theorist Douglas Rushkoff joins Dan Astin-Gregory to expose the disturbing mindset driving today’s tech elite, from underground bunkers and Mars colonies to AI-powered immortality projects and virtual escape fantasies.

Douglas Rushkoff reveals what really happened behind closed doors when he was invited to a secret meeting with five ultra-wealthy investors... who weren’t asking how to change the world, but how to survive its collapse and even how to control their security teams after the apocalypse!

Together, we explore:
- Why billionaires are building doomsday bunkers
- The god complex behind AI and transhumanism
- How digital tech is “auto-tuning” humanity into predictability
- Whether the elite are planning a future without the rest of us
- And how we can be part of Team Humanity in the face of it all

This is not just a warning, it’s a wake-up call to take the power back. #teamhuman
