Episode 94: P Diddy and the Sexual Economy of Wealth and Power

In the last week more details of Sean 'P Diddy' Combs' arrest and property raids have come to the light. Combs is to be charged with sex trafficking, multiple counts of sexual violence, and other serious offences. We discuss the Epstein-like aspects of the case, how men with enormous wealth, power, and influence, can create sexual economies of exploitation, access, and resource distribution in service of their own personal fiefdoms. Plus, the various rumours around the blackmail ring created by Combs and how this was all started by pop singer Cassie's lawsuit against him for various assaults. We also consider how privacy is becoming the number one value and luxury in our technological age, Ted Kaczynski's manifesto, and the loneliness of celebrity.
