Next Episode *Update*
🕑 Added 2021-07-12 07:09:53 +0000 UTCHi everyone,
Sorry for the lack of updates recently.
Last week was a busy work week for Matt and me so we couldn't get finished with the editing we wanted.
We have two recorded interviews: one with Evan Thompson that many of you probably heard and one with Daniel Harper from I Don't Speak German podcast, which we have almost finished editing. We should be good to release it sometime this week and we will also be recording the next main guru episode in the next few days.
We still haven't decided entirely whether we will do a special on Heather & Bret again, as they've been spiralling... or stick with Sagan (we will get to him in any case).
Some of it depends on my work schedule for clipping. I'll keep you up to date in any case!
Thanks for your patience!

What the fuck.....was this hot garbage. Thanks for making me suffer though this. I'll be able to spot an arrogant, misinformed, exaggerating douche canoe much quicker next time in the wild...

Felt the same as a I did when I gave "I Speak German" a go a few month ago. I feel like your guest was a very typically hyperbolic hard-leftest, that by his own standard of "what are you doing in the world" shoots himself in the foot. I'm a major sam harris skeptic, but he does a lot more good than just speak about far right talking a points, which is basically how he made it sound. I think he is problematic, very much so, and probably agree with your guest on a lot. But it just showed the lack of rigour that he has in really trying to understand what the people he critisises have said (that I hear in their pod too). For example, sam harris has promoted effective alturism a lot, and has thousands of dollars of his audience donated to causes. But then recently he tweeted out about the scam that is BitClout. So its complex.
