Premium 297: The Manifestation Principle
Added 2024-03-25 19:26:47 +0000 UTC
This week we're returning to our old pal, the New York Times' Ethicist. But first we have to discuss the situation with UK Wildcat basketball coach John Calipari...
I sure like and trust you guys. Consider yourselves the recipients of one big old smile.

Memphis has been pissed at Calipari since he was involved with a cheating scandal with a certain player and got our championship title revoked and then left for UK. It's been like 10 years and we still talk shit about that asshole and his stupid wife. Neither one of them tip AT ALL and they have the same shitty haircut.

...the "back of a napkin" calculation about Macolm Gladwell was always:
A) You're an insanely gifted genius, in the way that you consistently produce counter-factuals that are both dramatically satisfying in an "underdog makes good" kind of way, while also being the one, sole person arguing for that perspective, and you're consistently proven right about it.
It's insane that experts in any relevant field won't call you up - immediately - if they've ever stumbled on a real headscratcher of a problem.
B) You're a blatantly and pathetically fraudulent person, and it's genuinely embarassing how willing you are to sell out any academic credentials you might have had, when you know full well that you're the equivalent of that online-ad of a cartoon woman standing in a doorway, grabbing the sides of her stomach fat and jiggling it up and down, under the caption "doctors hate her! This one trick made her lose 50 pounds in 3 days!".

The Hank Hill impression is perfect in that it's good enough that you can tell what it is but it's also like the worst it can possibly be given that condition.

This is gonna sound like bullshit but one of my first memories was a black and white dream. I was in a stroller and a black woman picked me up and spun me around. Once I saw St. Basil’s Cathedral in the Red Square I realized that’s the place I remember. I was born in Indiana and have never lived anywhere else. ‘X Files theme’

...having never been to a gender-segregated party, my osmosis understanding is that guys do "ostentatiously manly things frozen in ember from the 60's" (smoking cigars, pretending to appreciate whiskey of various levels of vintage, not be gay, feeling mildly embarrassed about being there and not enjoying it, not be gay, etc).
And for girls, it seems more like this careful dance of enjoying regressing back to a teen-girl's sense of joie de vivre, while being careful to not be as ruthlessly cruel as you could be, if you truly sunk into that mode.
They're both sorta interesting, but from an outsiders perspective. If you're 25+, you should be over this shit.

...to the extent that any questions ever posed to an advice column is real, it's such a red flag for your relationship, were you ever to earnestly send in a question about your relationship, rather than turning your head to the left, and talk to your partner about whatever.
Like, Dan Savage is an advice columnist. I read him in my 20's, and subsequently listened to his podcast for some time, because he was so consistently "wrong" about his answers, but also so consistently out-of-left-field in the way he approached those answers that I just assumed that I "wasn't getting it".
It was like if a tarantula had been given a column. Just very oddly fascinating in being absolutely sure about whatever in the most alien way possible.
Many years later, he went on Marc Maron's WTF podcast and stated that no woman can get an orgasm from vaginal penetration (but conceded that some might be able to, if the man's thrusting and grinding sufficiently stimulated the areas predominately used for masturbation).
...these were very bold opinions for a fellow f*ag to have, and especially someone with no formal education on the topic, and who became an advice-columnist about sex - by his own admission - essentially on a lark.

..literally all of the US prosperity-gospel dorks I've come across from this podcast and others - and googled imaged - dress like a cool gay guy in 2003.
It's always white, blinged-out belts and bleached jeans in a hue that would be clocked as "these are girl-jeans" back then.
...Very well-to-do prosperity-gospel guys in the US and teen gay boys in the third world are on the same contemporary fashion-wave.
It's uncanny.
