A field-tested framework for engineers who are great at code and terrible at counterintelligence. Part satire, part survival guide, painfully real.
From Rogan to national security briefings. The conversation everyone's having but nobody wants to say out loud.
"I read your book last night and stayed up way too late. The USB drive full of Guy Fieri recipes... that chapter killed me."
"The mathematical framework you've built for assessing relationship risk vectors is genuinely novel. Walk me through the Bayesian approach."
"We've covered zero-days and ransomware, but this episode might be the most dangerous attack vector we've ever discussed."
Chamath: "I sent this to every founder in my portfolio." Sacks: "This is the most important OpSec conversation we've never had." Jason: "I'm scared."
"Of all the frameworks I've deconstructed on this show, the Ten-Question Relationship Audit from Chapter 5 might be the most practically useful."
"Every company in our portfolio needs to hear this. We're spending millions on cybersecurity and zero on HUMINT defense."
Everything from first-date interrogation to long-term relationship stress tests. Written for people who build systems.
16 field-tested relationship tests, the Xi Jinping Camera Framework, and the Ten-Question Audit that's already saved three marriages and ended two.

"I ran the USB Drop test. She asked me why I had a file called 'Donkey Sauce β RESTRICTED DISTRIBUTION' and told me to clean up my desk. We're getting married in June."
"The Xiaohongshu Test is genius. My girlfriend showed me her 2,000 saved posts about lip gloss. She is definitely not a spy. She is, however, spending all my money on lip gloss."
"Bought this as a joke. Ran the Ten-Question Audit. Failed on three questions. Hired a lawyer. Book paid for itself approximately infinity times over."
"I'm Chinese-American and I bought this for my white boyfriend so he'd stop being weird about it. Now he's just weird about Guy Fieri. Marginal improvement."
"I sent this to my entire portfolio. Half of them thanked me, the other half ghosted me. Which is itself a data point."
"My wife asked why I was leaving a laptop open with a fake PowerPoint. I said 'counterintelligence.' She said 'you work in accounts payable.' Fair point."
99.9% of Chinese and Chinese-American women in Silicon Valley are exactly what they appear to be: engineers, doctors, founders, designers, moms, and humans living normal lives. Silicon Valley has one of the highest concentrations of Asian and Asian-American professionals in the world. People date and marry within their professional circles. That's demographics, not a conspiracy.
The espionage threat documented by the FBI, CSIS, and intelligence agencies is real but targeted β specific state-sponsored operations, not proof that your coworker's wife is an MSS asset. This site exists because the threat is real enough to take seriously and absurd enough to laugh about. Both things can be true.
If you genuinely suspect intelligence activity, contact the FBI's counterintelligence division. Don't interrogate your girlfriend with a USB full of Guy Fieri recipes. But also, honestly, maybe don't leave your laptop unlocked. That's just basic hygiene.
