The only democracy in the Middle East! The owner of this democracy you are talking about has committed one of the most brutal massacres in modern history and has committed a full-scale genocide and war crime in Gaza. If this barbarity, racism and apartheid are supposed to be the fruit of democracy, then damn this democracy.
Great discussion of Soviet era literature. On point that Hitler, Stalin and the Soviet, Nazi systems operated in very close parallels. Appreciated the Laika interlude. Always makes me a little sad though. Such a brave little mutt. Great content to the point that I tolerated the authors occasional pretentious npr style inflections, which is normally a deal breaker. I guess proles like me just can't appreciate the intellectual speaking style, but we can and do appreciate this type of content.
Dr. Marty Makary is among the few prominent high profile physicians that are indeed national treasures.
haters gonna hate. ignore em and keep with the good fight.
A wonderful and unexpected podcast about....... owls? An unexpected but needed diversion. Thanx Russ and Jennifer.
Russ, tell the kulak class propagandist from Brookings to worry not. The Harris admin., during its reign has been quite busy actively dismantling title nine that had previously advantaged females in the educational facade. FORWARD COMRADES!!! Equality in poverty for all!* * of course excepting the ruling class, who obviously require more equality due to their responsibilities in controlling the daily lives of the working gulag class proles. Surprisingly the Brookings rep. seemed.... reasonable?
Wow, I know that speaking is important.
Great show about the past {Lincoln era} and very pertinent to the current troubled times we face.
It is difficult word. For example, amendment and constitution.

Really enjoyed this conversation! Michael put forth such clear examples to understand how strategies are used to push people past moderation. The scarcity loop and the three components of the scarcity loop really hit home, especially in understanding how social media gets us scrolling away to no end. Made me also wonder if the scarcity loop is relevant to scenarios involving excessive book reading. Though reading is a good thing, the three components of the loop may be relevant to books as well?
My expectations were pretty low for this episode, and I recognize and respect the good intentions, but this is ridiculous.
great episode, subscribed to Munger's pcast
skip. guest is a moron
Great, thoughtful conversation👍🏼
So many bad colonialist takes in this episode 💀💀💀
it's kind of funny how you both skipped the later edit cohen did to "lovers" song and deleted the phrase he was calling Israelis as brothers.
Immediately after he wrote [that verse], he apparently frightened himself and crossed out the word ‘my brothers.’ You can see the line in the notebook, and he replaced it with the words “the children.”
He writes about an incident where he is evacuating wounded and he was very emotional, and then they say to him, ‘Don’t worry those are Egyptians,’ and he is relieved. And then he catches himself and says ‘Why am I relieved that it’s only Egyptians,’ and he later writes ‘This is blood on my hands,'” Friedman recounted, noting that Cohen hardly ever mentioned the war afterward
Dog's breakfast bit needs to be on the best of '22 list. 😆
