Hey guys,

Just wanted to give a quick update on the planned schedule for the forthcoming episodes over the next few weeks.

This is how we expect things to go (treat the dates with a pinch of salt):

Feb 18th/19th - Robert Wright episode

Feb 25/26th - Virgina Heffernan interview on Gurus, Academic Debates & Edge

Mar 4/5th - Lindsay & O'Fallon episode 

Mar 11/12th - Julian Walker interview on Conspirituality & Culture Wars

Mar 18/19th - Jaron Lanier episode

*We also will record the Decoding Academia episode sometime this week...

Outstanding interviews that are very much on the cards are:

1. Timbah on Toast on his Tim Pool series & other videos

2. Elgen Strait from the Falling Out Podcast on growing up in the Moonies & overlaps/differences between modern gurus and cult leaders

3. Liam Bright on various philosophical issues & how correct our politics are

4. The Steak Umms account manager on weird twitter, conspiracy theories, & corporate brands

5. Rebecca Lewis on her research on disinformation and the Alternative Influencers Network

6. David Fuller (prob Feb) with his Guru right to reply and the problems with sensemaking.

Excited to hear you two talk to Timbah - hooked me on the Dave Rubin videos

I’ve been strung along on this Lindsay/O’Fallon episode for months now. It better be good (I’m sure it will be)

Richard DV

Can’t wait for the latest Pod. Would you consider doing Tony Robbins and other Neoliberal Priests ? In my experience, he’s been gritting for many years, and it would be interesting to have him and that ‘scene’ decoded

Paul Bowman

Ah, the Bobiverse ep, finally! Jaron Lanier also a good choice, apriori he will likely score highly on the guruometer, but we'll see. And a lot of the upcoming interviews look like fun (and a welcome break from the grinding tedium of IDW/antivaxx muppets). I look forward to Liam mercilessly dissecting your political and epistemological failings :)

I think we should all take bets to see if they do the Robert Wright episode

Interested in the steak umms interview even if it's not really a guru topic. I think the concept of brands behaving like "relatable" people can be funny but the fact that so many of them do it and the way their posts turn into media events is a bad thing. It obfuscates the fact that virtually everything they do is about making profit, and that associating complex personalities or sets of emotions with a product or brand is literally what the modern advertising industry is about.

Will there be a Daniel Schmachtenberger episode/interview? One that consideres him separately, not in conjunction with Jordan Hall a/o Jamie Wheal?

What a time to you picked to cover Robert Wright! He has lately been busy defending Russian regime's aggression againt Ukraine. What's amazing is that he calls this defense empathy. Since you see he understands the pain that the Russian elite feels of lost imperial colonies and if only the west (and dispicable eastern europeans) would understand this, Putin would put down his toys and go home. One of the worst gurus yet on your radar. What's reassuring is that he doesn't really have much reach.
