Content

Hey everyone,

Thought you might appreciate an update on forthcoming content/plans.

Consider this all provisional but we likely will get to it all.

1. The Oprah episode (coming next week!)

2. The Paul Bloom interview (with intro/outro): I know you probably mostly heard this but Paul is very good!

3. Weinstein World UFO special: Eric & Bret have both been talking about UFOs and it's time to catch up with the brothers and see if their takes have improved.

4. Christopher Hitchens episode with a guest decoder.

5. An AI episode probably featuring Eliezer Yudkowsky or Stephen Wolfram.

6. Thinking about leftie & female guru candidates, undetermined but possibly...Teal Swan, Red Scare (Anna Khachiyan and Dasha Nekrasova), Destiny, Chomsky.

Interviews are scheduled and in the pipeline but will update you on those another time.

Just wanted to let you know what's on our docket!

Suggestions are always welcome!

Awesome!! 🤗 I'd love to hear your opinion (or better yet, a decoding ;)) of the Conspirituality Podcast crew as well. I know you hosted them, but in the last year they got undigestable, at least for me. Sooo guruish on being antiguru, while constantly pushing everything "woke" without any critical distance. I recommend listening to their episodes on fatphobia, their interview with Steve Hassan and all the other on transgenderism. They talk like angry activists, take themselves way too seriously and mock evreyone they disagree with. Also, they delete comments on their FB page they don't like.

Oliver Bostridge

Destiny sounds interesting. He's certainly a guru in one sense - he's created a sort of cult of personality with legions of people who will agree with him about everything - but he's also strongly anti-populist/conspiricism and is probably relatively close to you guys politically (centre-left). His thing is basically giving pro-establishment hot takes and that's pretty unique in both the guru-sphere and the internet in general - he's sort of turned basic Democratic liberalism into galaxybrained-ness. Also there is *plenty* to criticise even though I'm sympathetic to his broad outlook.

Rodi

Please do Red Scare/the evolution of the dirtbag left.

Ben Mitchell

I vote Redscare for your female/leftie decoding

look... my gf loves my porrige so get off my back

I'd love to see you tackle Matt Yglesias. I think he's a really interesting character that has some guru aspects. For lefty content, PhilosophyTube (Abigail Thorn) would be interesting to hear just because I like her content. (Though maybe she's a bit too similar to Contrapoints)

Red Balloon

Do you think you can add something to Teal Swan to what the guys from Conspirituality did on her? I would much prefer you tackling Chomsky.

Sue Sutton

I'm not sure there's a need to find any kind of balance re left/right, mostly because I increasingly believe left/right is too simplistic a way of looking at the world.

Joel H. Dinolt

Destiny is neither female nor left-wing. Would suggest Hasan Piker, an avowed communist, if you’re looking for a lefty guru in the twitch streamer space.

Artemis Green

Oooh - looking forward to the AI epsiode! Will you give it a guru-y twist - I see that Lex Fridman has been discussing AI with Sam Altman and... some other guy who knows about poker. Interested in your thoughts.

Artemis Green

For female gurus: - Ayaan Hirsi Ali - Germaine Greer - Camille Paglia - Naomi Wolf - Lauren Southern - Ann Coulter...

Emma

All looks excellent. My only suggestion. Can we have more of the 'Wisdom of Mikhaila' segment?

Kat

Teal Swan seems like the epitome of a guru, whereas I suspect Chomsky won't come out that high on the gurometer. Maybe Chomsky should decode you guys! Isn't "Manufacturing Consent" a kind of decoding of mass media & its effects (with a particular point of view)? I'll be interested nevertheless, especially if you decode a talk about that book (even though I haven't actually read it).

Ryan Nesselrodt

Nice. Feel like Naomi Klein might ding some boxes but not sure, and dunno if she does much audio content

Ethan Milne

Destiny would be a fantastic person to both interview AND decide. Maybe check out his Richard Wolff debate?

Erin Dougherty

Wow I'm pretty excited about all of these! Sweet!

Samantha Rae

Lauren Southern! Camille Paglia!

Robert Roots

Conspiratuality did pretty comprehensive coverage of Swan, but I can’t deny that a decoding would make a good listen

Robert Roots

Graham Hancock is my top vote though. He is seriously slippery

Jim Murray

This all looks great, and some excellent suggestions for left wing and female gurus in the comments. At the risk of sounding ungrateful for the good content, are you still planning an episode with Gideon MK on Ivermectin?

Colin Fardey

What ever happened to the Darkhorse and Info Wars episode? I was looking forward to that one.

Chris Snyder

Destiny would be very interesting. I have heard CK mention him in a couple pods here and there and his content is….. interesting / hit or miss. I really can’t put my finger on it.

Kyle Wilson

Would love Chomsky. The Great Man’s ideas are mostly simply mistaken, but his cultivated following of deluded leftists is a fascination

ketracel-white 🧁

Eliezer Yudkowsky would be a fantastic subject!! They love him on r/SneerClub. Also the Red Scare girls would be great, Dasha I know for sure has gone way off the deep end in the past couple years.. might be funny to recount this series of incidents she had with this critic Mike Crumplar chronicled here https://mcrumps.substack.com/p/my-own-dimes-square-fascist-humiliation .. though it's probably straying a bit from the well-trodden path on DtG :D

Suzan Lemont

Please do Ken Wilber at some point!

I'm such a fan of Christopher Hitchens writing and speaking throughout his career. Very excited to hear some decoding by Chris and Matt of a guy that many people either hold in too high a regard and seek to clumsily emulate or demand that we as a culture must completely write off and never reference, because at the end of his life he was in favor of invading Iraq and wrote a shitty sexist article about comedy. When it comes to him compared to Dennett, Dawkins and Harris, I always feel like there's no point in lumping them in together. His life and work were so much more influenced by literature and world travel and participation in left wing political movements than anyone in that sphere at the time, or since. The guy did some real living and loving that clearly influenced his work. But still, plenty there to criticize and I look forward to the episode!

Please decode this tit, Aubrey Marcus 🙏
