The names just keep getting weirder

Bad enough you're talking about the Kardashians at all. Why pay so much attention to people who are famous for being rich and rich for being famous?

cmanenarwhale

being a hispter eugenicist is bad, but proposing on reddit might be the 4th reich.

HANNAH

Cause its their podcast so they can talk about whatever they darn want

MinkL0af

Damn, just listened to this whole podcast. Pretty crazy stuff

will michel

god bless. the two guys working the counter at my job did cocaine all night and are feeling sad. i’m hiding in the kitchen in total silence. this will do nicely. merry christmas

frog

Met Kosha in 2020 in Park City Utah and I can also attest he’s a pretty loathsome individual. He followed my friends and I around town for almost 2 hours at 1am. What a pickle

NYCM&AHole

Who has more illegitimste children? Elon Musk or Boris Johnson?

NYCM&AHole

Sounds like a dillhole

Svid

Brace you better not do that impression of a baby you like to do. We both know you stole that from me after watching my set at the laugh factory

Roarschach_Muckracken

When I arrived My shoulders were two inches larger than my head and mom pushed while the doc was turning around for the c sec and had to drop to his knees to catch me. Still convinced I knocked something loose on my way down

Graham Hoese

Doctors ask if the mother wants to feel the head sometimes between contractions and pushing, kinda helps motivate them to see how close they are, but palming the baby and yanking it out yourself seems unconventional lol

Grace

Do the elites realize that if only elite people have a bunch of kids and the poors stop reproducing their spawn will eventually become the poors?? Under capitalism there will always be an underclass. Also, take literally any college level genetics class and you will learn that the correlation between IQ and genetics exists, but it's weak af. The link between IQ and wealth is even weaker. These men need to stop trying to use science to justify their primitive ape urge to reproduce.

MinkL0af

Liz it is very normal for the mother to guide or catch the baby as it comes out herself. Many would say it is actually preferred. It would not be normal for anyone to ~yank~ a baby out in any fashion, doctors used to pull that shit a long time ago and were literally ripping babies in half, don't look it up. Once you get past the shoulders though that thing just slides right out. My wife caught our second one by herself completely. When you watch it happen it becomes obvious that the mother just has the most control over the little slime ball in the moment and is probably actually the least likely to drop and/or flop it.

Joe Bowden

Yet more anti-Welsh racism from the American podcasting class. Nothing wrong with the name Cai

Go'Thrak

OBGYung Chomsky talking about breach births off the bat

Yang Wenli

can’t wait to get my genetic risk assessed by my insurance provider or credit ratings agencies

K H

He doesn't want to touch a gross baby. Can't blame him. I'd want a big discount though. Like spray it down with Lysol and do your job if you want to get paid.

K H

The SR71 tmk also didn't have weapons AND famously hyper visible to radar because of the exaust or something, but it flew so high and fast nothing could really hit it. You definitely want to be descended from the sr71. It's for sure the hella aquarius aries combo of military jets. It has 2 birthdays. Elon probably thinks global warming will make Canada the new USA. He wants a genetic shot at the Prime Ministency. Also, I wish Elon could for an instant realize the irony of him worrying about idiots over breeding when he himself has 10 kids. You're talking about yourself dude. It's you. You're doing it. Money literally lets idiots amplify damage through excess pony reserves.

Stewie

Anyone got a link to that scrubbed MyOme article? Definitely gotta now do some research into articles that get pulled from the Wayback Machine, that’s what Peter Dale Scott calls a “negative template” revealing areas that powerful interests don’t want us to know about.

MurseInDaPurse

Yeah at least they have enough money to change their insane names

Robert Cullimore

Genomics are widely used in the breeding of dairy cows and bulls but that is all based around physical traits using billions of data points this sounds ridiculous

Charles Frum

Koshers Dillz is indeed a loathsome individual

Tim m

Liz your thoughts on what is nature and what is culture in the genomics era was pretty on point. You might enjoy the book “we have never been modern” by Bruno Latour. Lots of good episodes lately 🙏

K H

Liz nailed the whole """""""data driven"""" problem. Just because you can measure something doesn't make it intrinsically meaningful. Just because your data shows you a road doesn't make it the best one to drive down to fulfill your ends. I've noticed this in the facts n logic and now woke reddit crowd. That because 2 situations are comparable in some facile way, that comparison must be meaningful, as opposed to one of many possible observations. In that way people are more like robots. Instead of using intuition to understand that just because an observation might be accurate that doesn't make it complete or useful, they are satisfied to conclude once they have enough information to make a first solution. The interrogation of the solution is totally abandoned, but the assumption is retained until all distinction collapses, because similarities and correlation can always be drawn. Something meaningless can be imbued with real value by the observer and this happens all the time with investment. Wells Fargo abused this by dumbying up account numbers. Certainly it is done with race. We are limited by what we can see, but also have the ability to know we don't see everything. You have to make predictions and actually be wrong. If you can't be wrong it's just a belief. The basis of data is measurement is perception and we are limited, do not be too quick to abandon intuition. I would go so far to say ai is closer now to artificial intuition, the machine cannot fully explain itself and the human must dimly explain their observation of the machine by calculation, but a human is always the inferior calculator, yet it's a simpler life I guess if there is only what you can measure.

It wasn't actually 'Business Insider' it was the creampie parody of that magazine 'Business Inside Her'

Will Yandell

Maybe we can use data to figure out why Brace lies so much :/

Dan

In my province in Canada (Alberta), Eugenics was state policy until 1972. We had a Eugenics Board, and sexual sterilization laws for the disabled, including involuntary sterilization. 2,832 people were sterilized over the course of four decades.

H G

damn it's crazy to listen to this after listening to this when I'm listening to this

Ben Flanagan

Does Yung Chomsky have a stand alone clip of the hannakah song?

Peter Annee

The “secular clavinsists” obsessed with the removal of risk remind me so much of this passage from Gravity’s Rainbow: “It’s control. All these things arise from one difficulty: control. For the first time it was inside, do you see. The control is put inside. No more need to suffer passively under ‘outside forces’—to veer into any wind. As if…A market needed no longer be run by the Invisible Hand, but now could create itself—its own logic, momentum, style, from inside. Putting the control inside was ratifying what de facto had happened—that you had dispensed with God. But you had taken on a greater, and more harmful, illusion. The illusion of control.” The fantasy is a risk free world. Where the risky parts of life are replaced with endless modifications to an ever expanding market. Instead of market fluctuations caused by diseases a market is created to modify children such that disease won’t be an issue.

Hi- I live in Copperhill, TN. The owner of Graceland East definitely did not kill a guy. He is my fathers patient and he and his wife are still living peacefully up there and their replica house is decorated beautifully for Christmas. Visited them not but a week ago. Crazy to hear about our small Appalachian town of 444 people on fringe podcast that I enjoy

usri

Buuut we are home to the horrific Dr. Hicks (relevant, baby stealer) & the Atlanta Olympic bomber hid out here before his capture also. However the Jensons are good folks I paid $1 to clear their good name. People are still able to visit Graceland East if they’re ever in the area.

usri

Omg ok!! Yes different guys different place it seems. Sorry about that. did not know there was more than one 1:1 Graceland replica in Tennessee

TrueAnonPod

no totally understandable---graceland II wasn't exactly a replica of Elvis' house...more a replica of his Mind....

usri

Also very crazy- our Graceland’s owner is also named Paul. My stomach sank a little when I read the first name

Alejandro Pepsi

I'm waiting on my first kid to be born right now. This was the perfect episode to help me pass the time during these last few days. These people have the most fucked up ideas about parenthood I've ever heard. I don't know what kind of dad I will be but it feels good knowing Ill be a better one than that freak Musk and his ilk. Thanks again for the great synchronistic episode guys. Happy Holidays :)

justdave

Everything's still cool here at Graceland XII but you Yankees stay clear Graceland VII now ya'hear

Colin Helpio

Palming my infant's head like I'm Giannis

Poppy Chulo

Liz always avoids saying anything sexual or commenting on Braces sexual commentary.

Shiv

cause he’s a rascal

Dense Lightning

Hahahahahahahab Brace talking about Invader Zim folks being “hella random” hahahaha, oh my god the sock with an eight ball in it. Goddamn this episode is hilarious

TrueAnonPod

Congratulations and good tidings for your Christlike baby

Marcus

I am 100% ready to verify anything about Elon Musk with absolutely no basis.

Martin Kasey

Where tf was Young Chomsky on "Archangel"? It's by Burial.

Zzz

Lolol it’s called being classy and modest!

Jun

It must be Christmas w these new eps :)

Did grimes just get hired to be a high priestess in a silicon valley cult

…One of which recognizes musk as some false christ or son of god rather

Thank you

Caleb Beck

came to the comments to see if anyone else wanted dem sweet UK garage drums. great song and album, hate that Musk has heard it

justdave

Tough talk from a fella named Julian

kiki

i thought “can’t win ‘em all” was brace editorializing at first

Joseph Guerra

This discussion needs more about Nick Land.

blazed uncle

Not to be that guy, but Gary Powers was shot down in a U-2. SR-71 is famous for writing the hit songs Right Now and 1985.

I meant your parents are dumb, for giving you a girls name

People (nazis) say horses are dumb

Katie Doyle

Elon Musk is Canadian through his mom and her side (she moved to South Africa when she was young though)

justdave

I believe we are here for one purpose, to ease the passing of one another. Either through love, kindness and respect, or through hatred, abandonment and violence. Superiority is the sin not weakness

original gay pussy eatah

I usually try really hard to get in with a comment as quickly as possible to post something depraved like “ol st nick? More like Brace fart dick!” But the holidays fucked that up for me so I will be converting to Islam

Hope Mel brooks has the energy to make another film

Yea...both are equally jokes. Heh.

Omfg. You actually immediately went to aD hOmiNEm. Such a Julian. Y don't u ad yoself sum bitches.

Why is everyone letting the word long-termism slip to the psycho-fasc right who ONLY indulge in short term kicks ?

DumbDumDumbDumb

They indulge in long-term things, too, like global holocausts

Wes

One thing I wanted to raise about genetic testing is that the wide applications of this are mostly in these very messy and hard-ish to things to define and relate to genetics like height, iq, poverty, etc. But pre-natal screening for sickle cell disease or trait which is very established and concretely genetic is non existent in West Africa where the incidence is highest.

Wes

Also not hugely familiar with it but a lot of this stuff is based on Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) which are quite fraught to my understanding although with larger sample sizes (Obama's All of Us program) its becoming more legitimate

Some Guy

When Canada sends its people, they're not sending their best

Randy Hendrickson

Really thought Brace was going to have made a donation to the Repository for Germinal Choice in Liz' name in the gift exchange near the end of the episode.

Genuinely cool name there fella

Doug Cartel

My hunch is that they said "great in battle but nonviolent" because they just play starcraft all the time and think spy planes are tactical recon and not strategic

EmmyO

Right! Killing off all the poors and breeding a superior race, aside from being disgusting, doesn't even make sense!

Doug Cartel

Wait is this Fairchild company the same one that made the A10?

Doug Cartel

Ukrainian holodomor fanatics also love using birthrates to inflate the death toll of the 1932 famine. "Well, they COULD have been making babies back then but because of the famine they weren't, therefore all those hypothetical babies were murdered by stalin"

Zachary Sloan

Just to support what Liz was saying about this predictive genetics stuff, anyone claiming to be able to predict cognitive characteristics in humans is completely full of shit (outside of stuff like having a genetic cognitive disorder). I work "adjacent" to academic genetics/genomics (a programmer for a scientific web tool used by a pretty small community of mostly mouse/rat geneticists) and there's no way to reliably predict phenotypes as complex as "intelligence" (which is hard/impossible to define to begin with). There's also a lot of pressure in academia to produce "important-sounding research," so people will deliberately seek out favorable results showing a link between Gene A and Cognitive Trait X (etc). The one upside to this stuff is that rich people are constantly being sold a ton of bullshit when it comes to tech/science topics, because there's a huge incentive for "investor storytime" on the part of the people claiming to create the tech in question. No amount of money is going to magically make some of this stuff possible any time in the remotely foreseeable future.

Jeremy

it's nice to see someone speak some truth here. All holodomor sources lead back to nazi sympathizers or joeseph goebbels himself.

K H

I've written as much here before too. It's mostly just rich people lying to eachother and whipping grad students. Some incredible advancements have been made, but so much money is chasing bullshit. It's like that everywhere for everyone in every profession where your ass isn't personally on the line in terms of life and death.

K H

I assume his name is Chadicus.

justdave

I call him Julian, after his mother

QUARANTINE DREAM

Hey give a trigger warning when you mention Humboldt, was born there and I cannot stand it. Love yall.

Bent Mind

Into the fog is incredible. So glad you guys did this episode. Also Liz, no need to get fancy here— throw a dab of “Classico” Vaseline into cerave PM, then put your sunscreen over that. I know it’s hard, but reduce the use of retinol to maybe 1-2x per week. Godspeed.

Zzz

Can you bring jathan sadowski back on? I loved that 5g ep.

Wiley Michelle B

All I can think of when I hear that theory they had about the poor people killing the smart people is Chris Matthews thinking people who want to elect Bernie were planning to hang him and his fellow genius neoliberal capitalists in Central Park 😆 seems like some kind of projection?

Joshua J Marx

You honestly believe these pampered Western dullards even had that cross their mind? Lol

Amit Gordon

The list of people (myself included) I know/have heard of that have had unfortunate run-ins with Kosha Dillz continues to grow. Dude once managed to force me to buy one of his t-shirts as he continuously hit on both my friends. My friend who was on warped tour with him has worse stories.

Joshua J Marx

These people are well positioned idiots, nothing more. There's no way these people are anywhere near as intelligent or smart as they front in public. I mean think about it..

Joshua J Marx

Shit like this reminds you that the good guys lost, and they lost a long time ago.

Alek

Yeah But Still just had an ep about Kosha Dillz

helvetica.hottie

🤣 I had my third child at home and totally pulled my baby out. Fun times.

Josh Woods

rich reddit dumbass: M'lady you've not only won the internet today, but you've won my heart. And my cum!

Christopher Price

Def bojo. Musk's attitude seems to be more like an old testament matriarch with his wives and concubines. I'm sure he has publicly unrecognized children (especially from the early 2000s) but otherwise seems very intentional. Boris is just always sowing, rarely reaping.

Eleanor

Ok so I don’t think Elon got any height enhancing stuff. I think he comes from a tall family and used to slouch more in photos. I do believe however he got something done to his torso to like fit more organs into it or something. It’s bizarrely shaped and didn’t used to be

cagey eye

came here to ask for this

Fugazi Shoegazy

You're conflating what our would be tech overlords think about themselves and what they think about the rest of us who don't know how to code good or w/e. Nothing about EA or the 4th industrial revolution or the covid response is radically individualistic - its the opposite.

babygurl

He's barrel chested

Seth Aronovich

Eugenics advocates often lead interesting lives. John Philippe Rushton is notable for a theory in which races have different 'life history strategies'- which he theorizes lead to certain negative and positive correlations, including a negative correlation between intelligence and penis size. Rushton didn't exactly embody the 'K strategy' he attributed to whites, dropping out of high school before it was cool, having frequent affairs and divorces, and fathering at least two b**tard children (including one with a married black woman).

Julia

Naming girl baby Y and boy baby X is sOOoooO rAndOM (get it ? Like X and Y chromosomes ? ok ok ok haha lol)

laura

Anyone else see a connection between the long termists naming their baby Octavian and Octavia Butler's Earthseed (destiny of humankind is to take root amongst the stars...)

holy shit they weren't kidding about the matisyahu thing don't know what i was expecting, but it wasn't that
