Brace spitting abt the living room and roommates!

Juan Gonzalez

Listening to this again, YIKES! Not good for the future folks

alannah

Out of all the billionaire types in that field, Alex Karp truly seems like the most dangerously evil one I’ve seen. There’s just something about him that is uniquely dark in his personality that places him a Ted Bundy vs Elon Musk

alannah

like the other ones, thiel and the lot, clearly don’t see other people as human and are willing to mass kill for profit. something about karp screams ‘if I was broke I’d be a serial killer for the love of the game’

William Pepper

NICE A COOL EPISODE ABOUT THE LORD OF THE RINGS!!!

luis

Just paused a Michael Parenti lecture for this

saaffie

Oh what a nice Monday morning treat with my coffee.

Vincent Utah

Hmmm... this is either about LotR or a literal vampire.

SammyG

I love when im in the middle of a shift at work and a new ep comes out haha

J

What song plays under Liz reading the Carp moving letter?

Mitch

The lord of the rings movies “suck”??? EXCUSE me Noah??

Sleepy

Beetboy 7 :')

It’s part of the 2nd Movement in Beethoven’s 7th Symphony.

dex

Yes!!!!! Been waiting for this episode

Brendan Garcia

It drives me nuts when no one points out that the Palantir and Mithril [Capital, his investment fund], are both symbols of greed, hubris and overreach in LotR. Thank you Noah!

Garrett Paul

I dont give a shit. You can call me a luddite. All smartphones should be destroyed en masse.

WiiL

Not to be an Elijah Wood apologist, but all necks are the width of the persons face? Please release a correction next episode.

Michael S. Judge

I beg your pardon, but I believe I'm the founder of the TrueAnon Trizz Gang, and that Noah and I have to get up to some goofy dick rituals to make this official

TrueAnonPod

My god---correct---will rectify this next time!!!!

Dan Z

can someone post the youtube link

James Carmody

New nickname for the Wikipedia page: Brace "Gayboy" Belden. Also great episode

Brendan Mahoney

You need to do an episode on credit reporting to do the history of this

Andrew Cheramie

I get not liking star wars but I don't get being so insecure about it you can't appreciate an imaginative and technically accomplished work, regardless of its merchandising and marketing.

Andrew Cheramie

Liz needs to review What is to Be Done, the limits to trade union consciousness, and apply that to people losing interest in big issues

QUARANTINE DREAM

thank you for standing up for imaginative and technically accomplished works, they don't get enough credit

QUARANTINE DREAM

they should get more funding, they're so unappreciated

Kate Richardson

Just finished this episode this morning (enjoyed it!). Then sat down to work a work project analyzing the latest DHS proposed regulations. Turns out they want to start collecting finger, palm, and voice prints, plus iris scans for all immigrants (not that different from what they already do) PLUS all the same biometric data from any u.s. citizen who petitions for a family member’s residency. Also children who have been victims of domestic abuse or trafficking will have to prove good moral character...??? Summary and full proposed rule here: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/09/11/2020-19145/collection-and-use-of-biometrics-by-us-citizenship-and-immigration-services

Denver sucks

james

Don't get doomer Liz, us zoomers will save the world just for you and brace

AnarchoBaggins

As a philosophy graduate, thank you Brace for validating me. I'll make a fancy coffee just for you.

Michael S. Judge

CORRECTION TO THE CORRECTION: It has come to my attention that Housetrotter Ben was on 3 times before I was. I regret to, but must, announce that Ben, Noah, and I, by way of official and necessary TrueAnon Acknowledged Rite, will be getting really goofy with our dicks

@bobchinchillin

I love when brace makes respectable guests uncomfortable with the gun

a clash of purple

Ug, Phillistines making light of Lord of the Rings and Star Wars... They're good (LotR the books and Star Wars the George Lucas films). I'm just going to say it, speaking as someone who considers himself a leftist, most leftists have terrible taste in everything. I don't know if it's because so many American leftists on the internet are awful young hipsters, but it's got to stop before everyone turns into Matt Christman or something, just sitting around naming artistic genres that they refuse to even try out and unable to enjoy anything unironically.

Wiki Webster

Yay I can’t wait for part 2!!!

Morgan VanYperen

lol it’s extremely brave of you to enjoy those things, and it’s really something no one ever seems to talk about enough. if only star wars or lotr had more diehard fans, you’d finally have someone to relate to

howard

solid own of matt karp lol

Crash Test Orphan

Anduril was the sword of a main character Aragorn/King Elessar, and means "Flame of the West." So that name definitely has some added meaning - gotta use these weapons against those evil eastern hordes

Jack Lawrence

You guys should check out Peter Thiels investment in charter cities around Honduras (ZEDEs) - real spider network shit involving libertarian think tanks and Hayek institute free market economics planning to run semi-independent cities. Thiel is a big investor and Patri Friedman is involved along with Titus Gebel and Ronald Reagan's son.

John S

An episode focused specifically on the scam that is modern 'AI' and 'machine learniing' would be great, especially in terms of how far from reality technology is from any sort of Artificial General Intelligence.

Terence Connolly

Just got round to listening to this I would have liked to have heard more about LOTR and Italian third position fascism that saw the book as a kind of guide in the 70s.

Baron

So Silicon Valley is the new proving grounds, right?

D.K. Wilson

If what Brace describes in the way of “unbridled surveillance” is “permissible in liberal democracy” you must admit the entirety of Western Culture is built on lies.

D.K. Wilson

On 9.10.01Rumsfeld admitted to missing $2.3 --- TRILLION.

Floyd Hill

Damn right old friend DK/QK ;) You've seen me elsewhere before under other names, I gotta admire somebody sticking to their old screename (my god I sound 1999 right now) anywhere they go despite not being a P.C. dude who's freaking intelligent and on the right side of history (meaning the left)!

Floyd Hill

A bunch of shitheads, I misread Titus Gebel as Tulsi Gabbard in my very early morning daze lol

Floyd Hill

Agreed buddy, the kind of "AI" we have cannot do anything if we turn off the computer/video game console etc. it's running on. It's just advanced programming and real deep probabilities algebra, it's surely made by smart people, but I mean, most "AI" is like Oblivion NPC's still to this day....those believing in an evil AI residing on the Internet are laughable, they are "just" a huge troll army (with technology to post as 50-100 people with just one post, where a certain idea is spread by one person, and it gets re-written by a computer program to convey the same idea, cognitive infiltration, Cass Sunstein, Obama's good friend started it all with that counsellor of his regarding "internet conspiracy theorists". aka Dissenters of any kind, at least to Obama's policies back then, which were awful, except for a few things where it seemed like he grew a spine and didn't just apply the papers he would get from the NSC and State Dept.

Chris

I can't say more but a family friend works at palantir and last time he was at our house, I cried. That's unrelated but still true

ray hafez

I've never heard anyone else reference the Honourable Schoolboy radioplay, incredible stuff. The original Tinker Tailor and Smiley's People too 👨‍🍳👌
