Thank y'all for this podcast. I tried listening to Joe Rogan once, and that was too much for me. Your sacrifice is tremendous.

2025-02-18 13:06:36 +0000 UTCI feel like typing, "Celebrity's Name criticism" into Google is a necessary step now in engaging with new intellectual content. There was a time when IDW people seemed super interesting, but if I had started with criticism that is like looking at one star reviews on a restaurant. Sometimes one star reviews sell me on a place! It's good to know, "What do people who don't like this person have to say?" Like, actual doctors and epidemiologists! That's a start with Brett.

2025-02-17 01:35:52 +0000 UTCFucking agreed! But it was specifically about white people staying away from campus for a day in solidarity with black people, and I could swear I heard his name mentioned, but as you say, a lot of people do that bullshit

2025-02-16 05:59:24 +0000 UTCI would honestly believe it's just been done to death so hard it's difficult to find a specific professor "objecting to (insert their boogeyman of diversity initiative.)"

2025-02-16 05:51:30 +0000 UTCOmg, I'm like 2 min into the episode, and I just realised where I had heard his name before! Where there's woke did an episode on him, and his objection to initiative at his school. Or at least that what was I thought, but I can't find the episode on the podcast feed so maybe this guy was not the first professor to "take a stand" against wokeism in this way. Or maybe I just remember wrong

2025-02-16 00:52:52 +0000 UTCListening to this episode, definitely has me thinking Weinstein is just the classic example of a bullshit artist. Fucker is just sitting there, and spouting complete nonsense as if it's fact, and Rogans just devouring it, uncritically because he's bought into the whole "left wing bad" narrative... Remember a few episodes ago when Rogan was "neither left wing or right wing?"

2025-02-15 17:22:02 +0000 UTCThank you! This pretty much sums up Bret Weinstein's schtick: https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/covid-19-critical-thinking/bret-weinstein-would-be-galileo Sounds like doing the opposite of whatever he says might be a good bet? Vaccinate! I will fly to Venezuela for vaccines if it comes down to it.
