    Great cast but I can't help thinking David's response when challenged about a Dog's knowledge came across as somewhat cartesian. Not buying into the idea that "Dogs have genes which contain knowledge but it is fixed knowledge and it is not the kind of knowledge that constitutes understanding." Poitevin literally wrote a book on what a clockwork dog would do. Tyler really packed in a lot of questions without taking anything personal, so much respect to him for allowing a fast flowing set of thoughts.

    Yeah, this got hard to listen to at the end. Tyler usually mixes in more light-hearted questions. And he seems unwilling to concede any of the substantiated problems with social media. At the end he shrugs his shoulders and says we cannot do anything and that humanity will adapt (partially due to AI). Seems a bit flippant.

    Yes, Camille Paglia is (now) a total heroine for me. Loved her interview with Tyler. For no good reason, except my own despicable ignorance, I was expecting an old slow hippie feminist apologist, but what I got was ... a huge blast of truth, dazzling eloquence, deep knowledge, and most importantly, bravery, honesty, integrity and authenticity. Very rare these days. Wonderful.

    libertarianism is just fascist atheism through the backdoor of (or frustration with) liberal freedoms (that are extended to all, without fear or favour)... it is an essentially anti-god (hence anti-election) philosophy borne out of (an understandable) hatred of communist totalitarianism. i believe peter thiel was born in east germany where they were not only communist but (broadly) atheist; his lutheran upbringing didn't undo the damage; his worship of the god of mammon is palpable.

    The bigger the view the smaller objects appear. It's sort of like being the difference regarding the front end or tail end of exploration/discovery. In order to achieve a larger view there requires distancing. So as we expand in knowledge we lose the bigger than life perspective..like sitting in the front row of a movie theater. I personally would much rather the front end because it gave room for a much larger stage and freedom to exercise the art department of the mind. I think this is what we are looking at when we see people from earlier eras displaying decadence and opulence. I can remember feeling this way as a child (a natural unfolding with no exposure because I was not raised with television) and it was due to me being on the front end of discovery.

    Music would be affected the same way, only I think there existed alongside it a mechanism of provocation. It's a human nature inclination to come from the other side of a thing, especially in order to be noticed. This could be your polarity, or swing, that you witnessed from the Beatles to The Stones. It was an answer. And Of Course it would be rebellious to the up-beat. That's almost predictable! Hahaha!!

    Tyler's reading of The Dispossessed is so far off that I'm flabbergasted how he got there. I am not familiar with him, but it does not reflect well on his critical thinking. Did he speed-read the book and misunderstand much of it? Is he so biased towards capitalism that he couldn't even understand the points an anti-capitalist author was making? This is from le Guin's introduction to the 2017 reprint: "I started by reading a whole mess of utopias and learning something about pacifism and Gandhi and nonviolent resistance. This led me to the nonviolent anarchist writers such as Peter Kropotkin and Paul Goodman. With them I felt a great, immediate affinity. They made sense to me in the way Lao Tzu did. They enabled me to think about war, peace, politics, how we govern one another and ourselves, the value of failure, and the strength of what is weak. So, when I realized that nobody had yet written an anarchist utopia, I finally began to see what my book might be. And I found that its principal character, whom I'd first glimpsed in the original misbegotten story, was alive and well-my guide to Anarres." And this is from le Guin's introduction to "The Day Before the Revolution", a prequel to The Dispossessed: "Odonianism is anarchism. Not the bomb-in-the-pocket stuff, which is terrorism, whatever name it tries to dignify itself with; not the social-Darwinist economic “libertarianism” of the far right; but anarchism. as prefigured in early Taoist thought, and expounded by Shelley and Kropotkin, Goldman and Goodman. Anarchism’s principal target is the authoritarian State (capitalist or socialist); its principal moral-practical theme is cooperation (solidarity, mutual aid). It is the most idealistic, and to me the most interesting, of all political theories." Ursula K. le Guin makes abundantly clear in the novel that Odonianism is the best political option she can imagine for society, but that even a great ideology doesn't make a utopia, as actual humans working out their lives together can cause problems for each other within any political system. For Tyler to somehow twist that into the claim that Anarres was a dystopia is wild. Would he seriously prefer the sexist, violent materialism and inequality of A-lo or the extreme authoritarianism of Thu....and did he misunderstand what the point of the Hainish man was when he noted that Earth (Terra) had turned out even worse than A-lo?

    How are we, humanity going to be modernized and moving forward... When we give importance to individuals...who have made CHANGES in the society, nation or in different parts of the world...on the basis of their RELIGIOUS, RACIAL OR CASTE IDENTITY... and celebrate on it...instead of giving importance to their IDEAS...!!!??? There is a tendency in the post independent period (war)...among all Nations that,we ought to give priority to the Suppressed society...even when the other side has equal or more better contributions...that will help to make the positive Changes ...!!! By doing so, misguided leaderships and law& order and false historical narratives are evolved...!!! That in turn did a great damage to the PSYCH of ALL...and created confusions, chaos animosity, complexes - egos of both and Identity crisis...!!! For example : We gave importance to Martin Luther King Jr. ' s Religious Title... The PASTOR... The PROTESTANT ...etc...!!! If we are using that religious identity... to make an uncivilized society to be civilized... then we are following the wrong path... Aren't we...!!!??? Since...We know today that RELIGIOUS EXTREMIST IDEAS, LAWS,AND DOCTRINES ARE THE ENEMIES OF A CIVILIZED HUMANITY...!!! We know that, THE ROOT CAUSES OF ALL POLITICAL, ECONOMICAL, SOCIAL, AND CULTURAL, UNREST and HUMANITARIAN CRISIS and ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION...IS RELIGIOUS POLITICS ( here I am not talking against HEALTHY FAITH OF PEOPLE'S CHOICE )... ( The misguided RELIGIOUS HERO WORSHIPS and MARTYRDOM )...!!! THANK YOU...!!!

    Advocacy for privacy as a way to become a gateway for dangerous and destructive MMT and Marxist policy - dubious. Mr. Grey is clearly bright enough to realize that without trust, a new monetary system will not be widely adopted and thus fail, but I think that ship has already sailed and large and growing swaths of the population have already lost faith in the monetary system, and in particular the governments' role in it. I think that lack of faith is well-founded and is also quite dangerous because the only thing that keeps this Ponzi scheme going is our collective faith in it. Trying to rush to replace the current monetary system with a digital one that offers no obvious benefits to people who currently hold capital is doomed to fail and so it should. The pain that most people are experiencing is directly correlated to that brief experiment with MMT-like policy in the early 2020's. You're on the wrong side of history, Mr. Grey.
