🤔 I am seeing show notes but no podcast…

Jon Hand

There it is !

Wiz zis supplementary materials you are really spoiling us!

Níall

Where do I see the bookmarks? I'm using castbox on android

Linda Sears

You started doing the supplemental materials just in time. Imagine if you had to put this all at the beginning of a decoding of Dr. K episode.

Nice episode lads! These supplementary podcasts work a lot better in a structured, separate format rather than a meandering session at the beginning of a guru decoding. Love how often you are doing these as well. Def plenty of new material with USA elections & Olympics taking place. Nice bonus for us loyal Patreons 😅 As for Kisin, good on Pinker for pushing back. Not his biggest fan but he surpassed my expectations here. And what a disgusting, misogynistic and racist POS Kisin is! Love how a failed comedian & low IQ, little dweeb hack is mocking the qualifications of a former Prosecutor, AG, Senator and VP lol! With regards to Peterson Academy, I’m really curious to see the employment prospects of young men undertaking those courses. Should feel sorry for these rubes getting fleeced haha, but I don’t. It’s like Trump University all over again. Btw do you guys know what happened to Bari Weiss & Niall Ferguson’s IDW University?

It's wild how Brett has managed to see conspiracy theories as synonymous with scientific hypotheses. A dissonant attempt to separate himself and company from the stereotype of conspiracists.

19 Minutes Fluff. The senior guru. ‘4 Lions is a comedy by Armando Ianucci.’ Director: Chris Morris Screenplay: Chris Morris, Jesse Armstrong, Sam Bain, Simon Blackwell

Man.. Bret... I'm torn. I don't know whether to be impressed by his ability to spew his conspiracy bullshit with such a strait face or whether to be so enraged that I woukd want to tornado kick his fucking head off. Maybe I should stick to the former since I'm getting old and would most certainly pull my hamstring or something in an attempt to achieve the latter. I just wish he'd shut his damn mouth!!

Chris, there is a fairly recent example of a sitting president taking himself out of the race for reelection. It was LBJ in 1968. And the original RFK was likely to win the Democratic primary and go on to win the presidency, but then he was assasinated, the Democrats kinda fell apart, and Nixon got elected

Ok- somebody has to say it. Physics has hit a brick wall in explaining reality. Personally think it’s one of the reasons we are where we are. Technology- rapidly expanding. What are the lads view a the god of the gaps as that’s what’s being filled given lack of basic science progress shurely….

An episode on the All in podcast would be perfect. David Sacks for sure but also on Chamath P who is an even bigger secular guru in some respects. They all have insufferable cases of galaxy brain and Cassandra complex, but his seems the worst with every response starting, “I think what everyone fails to see here is that…” and tells these slow, dramatic stories about how the richest, most powerful people in the world in his inner circle at this or that gala or event told him X but then Y happened like he told them it would 😭

Nick Asbury

I am enthusiastically with DTG on *just about* everything, but I find there's a blind spot when it comes to more political stuff. Obviously fine and right to call out the hypocrisies in the right's response to the Biden/Harris stuff. But the bigger story has been the wild intellectual flexibility on the left – the extended exercise in 'Biden is totally fine' until it became undeniable (predictably); the cowardly lack of any challenge to him during primary season; the Pelosi 'do it the easy way or the hard way' smoke-filled room; the immediate recasting of Biden as a 'hero' for selflessly being dragged out – fingernails scraping across the floor – when he could have announced it two years ago and created an orderly transition to a better candidate than Harris; the immediate reinvention of Harris into some political superstar we'd all been unaware of until now; the media chorus behind the new 'weird' talking point; the memory holing of an assassination attempt that should have everyone angrily questioning the same Secret Service now protecting Harris / Biden... I wouldn't trust David Sacks as far as I'd like to throw him, but I think he's been broadly right on the Biden stuff, and I don't disagree with his Robert Wright-ist stance on Ukraine, which (even if you disagree) is a totally defensible way of reading the history, and is increasingly being proven right. But Konstantin, Bret, Dr K, Sam Harris, Peterson, Eric, everyone else – totally with you and appreciate the regular firehose of sanity.

Matt - regarding Lex, surely you're aware of Jung's aphorism: "Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves." 😁

Kyle Dun

I didn't want to watch Pinker on Triggernometry because didn't want to heat KK bullshit. But I might now. I'm not at all surprised that Pinker stuck to his guns. He's not a guru, he's not really a cultural warrior although I'm sure he has voiced his opinions on free speech issues etc. where there is some overlap but that is more the result of hijacking legitimate issues/concerns by fuckwits than it is with the issues themselves I find.

Kyle Dun

Cracked up at Matt's we never miss and then immediate walk back 🤣

Mark K

“Hey guys did you see how I genetically engineered yesterday’s tweet so that if my critics object they actually agree with me?” - something Scott Adams said on a broadcast once that this Bret nonsense reminded me of

Giant If

Matt, where I can I read some of your stuff on the psychology of gaming? Or gamification? I know they’re two quite different things, but I’m not sure which you mentioned and I’m interested in both. 😀

Amy

Okay, forgive me but I need to correct your point about death metal music. It’s not satanic. That’s black metal. There’s overlap in the musical style but the lyrical themes are a main thing that distinguishes them. There’s also a decent overlap between metal heads and people who love classical music. I’m among them. 😁

Idan Ca

I have now doubled my patronage to $200,000 and fully expect Chris to become 30% better.

Aaron Holder

Here’s a question: Do the Weinsteins and Alex Jones et. al really believe their conspiracy theories? I honestly can’t accept they do! They make shit up and broadcast it, right?

In light of this episode, I'm increasing my "Profiteering" score of Chris and Matt to 1.2.

Trees

Oh how I wish the opening ceremonies would been entirely dedicated to lampooning the English. That would have made for much more fun controversy.

Matt Dear

I quite like the idea that conservatives are misunderstanding the term 'progressive' in progressive metal

Dada de Broglie

I guess Kissin is the bigger fan of Nietzsche.

Roland Weber

Thanks, that was fun! 😄 You almost made me wish I'd seen that opening ceremony.

Bobby Wayward

Not sure if it’s just because I usually tune out when Bret Weinstein is talking, but good lord the seagulls in that clip… does he not have a quiet place to record what is so important for him to say?

Josh T

Was genuinely laughing out loud on the bus home when I heard Chris say he was looking at the back end of the channel and that it was fascinating.
