Hi guys,
Time for an update!
We had hoped to get this episode out for the weekend but our schedules didn't align well this week so we only got to recording on Friday. We are about an hour or so in and will record the rest at the start of next week then edit down to release at the end of the week.
In the meantime, we have a segment discussing the lab leak theory and the current media hubbub around it that I think I will extract and release early on the bonus feed/post up here in audio format.
Getting back into Bret so soon is a bit of a chore but there is a really interesting dynamic at play between the two of them and Jordan remains a high value guru. We are having fun with this one after the quite depressing anti-vaccine episode!
After this, we are going to take a short holiday from the culture war and spend some time with our personal gurus/some lefty folk for a mental palette cleanser.
On the cards are:
1. Anthony De Mello (Christian mystic that influenced Chris)
2. Richard Dawkins (You already know who he is)
3. Zizek (Been requested for a long time)
4. Jimmy Dore/ Glenn Greenwald/ Someone from that neck of the woods
5. Jaron Lanier (the anti-social media tech guy who plays the bongos)
But culture war wise we will get to:
Gad Saad, Sam Harris, and Stefan Molyneux soon(ish).
We've also received lots of really interesting suggestions so we might need to do a review of all our correspondence and take some of the left field suggestions we've got. We are thinking about creating some Patreon polling system to help select guru order, will let you know in time.
So that's where we are for now. Thanks for all your patience and support!

Excited for what's coming! Please stop titling updates like these with just the topic of the upcoming episode though lol. I see the notification pop up and think a new episode is out, only to be disappointed it's just an update. I really appreciate the updates and all the content y'all have been doing, just a small note.

I guess people who truly love his books and ideas are open-minded enough to welcome him to be analyzed in this podcast though, at least for me. I am fully embraced the idea to decoding his ideas.

Dawkins must be done. No matter how painful it will be to those who love his books.

No worries on delays, you've spoiled us for content recently! My leftfield suggestion in the spreadsheet was the digital minimalism/deep work guy Cal Newport who is a bit of a personal guru, though tbh I'd be keen to hear your thoughts on any of the productivity gurus. Otherwise could you add a new Patron tier at which we get weekly Lindsay casts? 😂
