You lost me at "seminal transition". Why listen to people who don't care what words mean?
Importantly, the actual title of the book is Kaput: The End of the German Economic Miracle. Brilliant work! Important to provide the actual title so people can find it.
@35:13: You always manage to mispronounce Kamala.
@19:09: "Maybe I'm just older..." Older than what? You're definitely not mature, if that's what you mean. After all, your whole schtick seems to be "just asking questions."
@15:14: "So, start with a theory and then look for supporting evidence." That's the very definition of confirmation bias. This guy is an idiot.
@14:05: You don't know a single person who doesn't think it's a conspiracy? That says quite a lot about you.
I wasn't familiar with Olsen. I was unimpressed by this discussion, so was unsurprised to find that he's a lecturer with the ultra-right-wing Hillsdale College, which is on the advisory board of Project 2025. That said, it was surprising and disappointing to see that he's also employed by The Washington Post.
This podcast pretends to be about substance, but this whole conversation cast the presidency as an athletic event rather than a matter of consequential public service. The conversation was about physicality, not policy. It was a mess of petty conjectures and uncited rumors. These guys care more about individual frailty than about national democracy.
This is just a collection of reckless, bootstrapped conjectures built upon rumors and ignorance. There was no semblance of evidence or critical thought in this conversation.
@13:37: That's not what it means to "beg the question." You mean it raises the question. To beg the question is to commit the logical fallacy of assuming the conclusion.
That covered very little ground. Almost no progress toward the stated goal of the conversation.
Hmm, it seems like Sachs's definition of "deep state" is atypical. His seems closer to secretive military and paramilitary operations, which might be euphemistically called the "security state". However, the security state apparatus is top-down versus the embedded, recalcitrant, bureaucratic inertia to which "deep state" more commonly refers. Then again, maybe the term is common because it's imprecise; in which case, why use that term?
what a nothing-burger that was...
Language is no longer a barrier 4:00
Asking an oil company friend to speak about climate change and not going deeper into that question takes away all the credibility of the show. Unsubscribing.
Erich Fromm's work was largely about the discussed topic. I recommend 'Escape from Freedom' (1941). Note also what is being discussed as 'loneliness' is not new phenomenon, just more extreme. The term 'alienation' has been used in the literature, too.
This guy spends too much time debating imaginary opponents.
What a great conversation! You exchange ideas on a level that is so rare these days! Keep up your amazing work, and thanks!
it's June 24th...and we haven't had the massive military takeover suggested by the host.
Not informative and generally naive discussion from 2 obviously smart individuals.
