Parrot Room: Nobody Wants to Read Your Back-in Lede
Mickey’s theory of replacement theory. But (Bob asks) does he know what replacement theory means? Why didn’t the government recognize the need to rein in big tech? Bob rants about money’s corruption of ideas in DC. The alleged conspiracy to suppress the Hunter Biden story. Is Jake Sullivan really in legal trouble? Bob throws a fit over how horrible politicians are. Bob also claim politicians have gotten worse, but Mickey comes up with someone from 50 years ago who was as bad as Ted Cruz. Mickey resists idea that he has much to atone for. Was Lee Atwater right to atone for the Willie Horton ad? The newest thing on 8-chan. New Bill Gates Epstein angle. Steve Bannon Epstein angle. Russian Epstein angle. Walter Shapiro’s insight: Voters aren’t demanding Biden’s big bill. Question from quantum physics: Does consciousness create physical reality? Mickey gives Bob advice on big Blob newsletter piece. The irony of Substack. Bob won’t take no for an answer on the dating app. Bob’s pathetic attempt to sing a Todd Rundgren song. New zoning law threatens to make Mickey NIMBY.
This dialogue is (in part, at least) a continuation of a publicly available dialogue taped earlier in the day.
