Happy New Year to everyone!

Hope you enjoyed the Christmas Special and our recent Decoding Academia episode.

For our next trick, we are going to release a special 'emergency' episode on Rogan and his covid contrarian 'sense makers'. Primarily we will focus on Robert Malone & Peter McCullough, but we are going to address Rogan & the broader alternative 'sense making' ecosystem. In particular, how so many of these alternative media figures seem to be so remarkably credulous in the face of people who sound scientific, criticise the mainstream, and flash credentials.

Unfortunately, this episode will be jumping the queue ahead of the Bob Wright episode (that we are actually looking forward to) but c'est la vie. We will get to Bob this month and, I mean, if we don't produce a long form podcast on the topic, how will the world survive?

It won't be a full guru episode because of the nature of the topic but hope you all enjoy! If we can record early enough it will be out the end of this week and if not then definitely next week. Third episode of Decoding Academia will be up this week too!

This is exactly what I wanted the next episode to be. Thank you Decoding The Gurus 10/10 A+ Would buy again! <3

I really respect your self-sacrifice to voluntarily expose yourself by the McCullough and Malone episodes. <3

Thank you for this I'm losing family and friends left and right out here. The Great Sensemaking Wars of the early 21st century will be infamous for being particularly, rhetorically, bloody.

Looking forward to this. Question: can one of you explain where the phrase "sense-making" ... I'm having trouble framing the question. From your podcasts, I had thought it was a phrase the IDW, etc., used. But, based in part on Evan Thompson's visit with you, I recently read "Why I am not a Buddhist". Evan uses that phrase a few times in his book and it seems like it is a legitimate (i.e., academically accepted) philosophical concept. What's going on with this phrase? I really appreciate all that you do, Chris and Matt! --Arabella in Ferrisburgh, Vermont, USA

I’ve been trying to view malone through guru goggles and he’s harder to dismiss offhand than McCullough. One thing is certain, I DO NOT thing Joe is a good arbiter of truth. If he moderated a presidential debate it would be a disaster.

I also listened to that Peter Attia talk with Dr. Zdogg etc. I'm pretty curious what the Decoders think of that podcast as well!
