@Zuby is an internationally recognised rap and hip hop artist who also achieved fame as the champion British female deadlift record holder (238kg). Designed to raise awareness of the absurdity of biological men competing against biological women in sport, the stunt eclipsed his music success and he was thrust into the culture wars where he has been offering previously common - but now exceedingly rare - takes on society. He continues to self publish his music and books, as well as tour internationally as a keynote speaker on a variety of his interests including music, cryptocurrency, culture, and self-improvement. He kindly agreed to an extended interview with Discernable in the suburbs of Melbourne where we could explore his views in a specifically Australian context.

Dr Cameron Murray is expert on corruption and group dynamics. Here he explains 'grey gifts' and group 'signaling' which tribal dynamics relies upon. A powerful signal that groups employ is 'myth making' where signals are non-sensical by design. Repeating non-sensical signals such as myths differentiates group identity and proves loyalty to the group. So to corrupt society you need: 1. A Grey Gift (favours that don't cost you) 2. A Group to reciprocate and reallocate favours 3. Signals to differentiate the group 4. Myths to demonstrate loyalty and perpetuate groupthink Many current events come to mind as perfectly explainable by this corruption framework. Dr Cameron Murray's lab experiments on humans have demonstrated this corruptible behaviour.
