But was that really a random survey? I thought analytics revealed more stuff than we actually know about ourselves.
I got a random survey about sports gambling last year with a dollar bill in it. I laughed at it for a full minute. It said you would get $10 if you took the survey, and I really wanted to know if it would come in the form of a ten dollar bill, so I did it. It was in fact an actual ten. 🤣 They sent me a second request that must’ve been mailed before I did the survey and it had another dollar in it. I wonder how many dollars they would’ve sent me before giving up.
I’m so glad Mike left the part where they watch the USA chant clip. Mike painfully saying ”Peter... Peter... WHY ARE WE WATCHING THIS” was hilarious, but also do I ever understand. I avoid Elon’s face and voice as much as I can too. ”Unsettling” is probably the nicest way to put it, lol.
6 minutes in and I was internally screaming. The idea that Homosapiens needed religion to work together and evolve instead of like... ’oh hey, could you pass that stone?’ | ’sure bud, in exchange can you pass me that stick over there? Oh also, btw, why are there light in the black sky?’ | ’idk man, maybe someone put them there, probably not a big deal... It’s getting crowded around here - you want to go set up another cave on the other side of the mountain?’ | ’sure!’

My first time listening to your podcast. Loved it! Re. the would have been hillbilly, Barbara kingsolver looks at the apalacian poor in what would seem to be a most carefully researched and hard hitting, empathetic way. Would be a good comparison. Thankyou chaps!
i know the original comments were posted 2 years ago but as a transgender person who is closeted in real life, the comments seem to have been posted in bad faith, and i wanted to provide an alternative interpretation.
regarding the previous commenter: 1.) well yeah. most transgender people would have preferred to start their transition early to avoid going through puberty twice, especially considering the first time pushed them further away from a body they’re happy in. 2.) this is a teaser/bonus episode; the main series is still about books. 3.) it’s not ”normalising” anything - it’s just a case of preferred language and/or colloquialism. 4.) this is not a podcast about medicine.
One of the things that terrified me about this election was the realization that *my* political literacy is higher than that of the average voter. I generally don’t watch the news. I don’t watch presidential debates. I don’t really get involved in politics unless it’s something that directly impacts my life. Yet, in speaking to coworkers, it was me who had a better grip on the actual policies being voted on. It was a horrible realization.
hey, you found a Simpson’s paradox in the wild vis a vis the income vs propensity to vote for Trump data neato
”A book of staggering malignancy packed into 94 pages of large type” should be the blurb 😂
Michael, you got it backwards. The movie was originally called ”Leon” in France and got localized to ”The Professionnal” in the US.
I’m with Michael here, speedrunning is infinitely superior to glorified, modern-day gladiatorial combat.
I mean, at least Elden Ring no-hit speedrunners aren’t giving each other CTE from repeated concussions and turning into anti-vax conspiracy nuts in alarming amounts, so...
