It is the system and it never sleeps.While it watches, controls, and chains you in digital servitude, SerpentsByte breathes fire into the void.This album is not a soundtrack it’s a war cry:Phonk beats that hit like a hack on the Matrix.Lyrics that weaponize the system’s own tools CBDC, digital IDs, surveillance, collapse.A sound oscillating between Memphis trap, cyberpunk decay, and apocalyptic noise.🐉 The dragon may seem invincible......but its weakness is your rage.And here, it burns brighter than ever.|| "They tried to make us slaves. We became dragons." || Undo – How history's outliers got stuff done Mark Steadman An investigation into how history’s oddballs, outliers, and overachievers built systems to help them do their best work.Each episode unearths a so-called productivity hack from history to help you separate the brilliant from the bullshit, so you can build a methodology that works for you.Productivity isn’t about getting more done to feed a money-seeking monster with an ever-growing appetite.
