684 - Chapo Victims Unit (11/28/22)
🕑 Added 2022-11-29 03:46:39 +0000 UTCWe start off with some Law & Order: SVU talk that flows into a discussion of crime paranoia that cost the Democrats the house in suburban Long Island. Then, America’s epidemic of loneliness and corrupt hustlers trying to scam people into unnecessary for-profit hospice care. Grim! So we lighten up the back half of the ep with some more listener questions.

I agree 100% on the take about STEM weirdos needing to read and engage with the arts more. But by the same token I am always disappointed when I see people who are just completely incurious about anything science or math-y.

It was fun hearing Matt advocate for basically the exact same kind of national service program I've thought about for years at the end there

That last discussion about college/education perfectly explains the difference between Carl Sagan and Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

“Identity”—Season 6, episode 12. A twins episode with a twist Felix doesn’t mention. Here, two twins are implicated in a murder, a teen boy and teen girl. Don’t want to spoil too much, but the big reveal is that one of the twins has been re-sexed at birth by a doctor for the apparent purpose of studying nature vs. nurture in two genetically identical human specimens. Oh, and the twins develop their own grammatically coherent, perfectly conjugated private language, which Dr. Wong suggests is a surprisingly common phenomenon among twins. All of that is pretty hilarious if you think about it for more than 30 seconds. Great episode.

Re crime: agree that the much of media coverage is driven a lot by the lack of political vision, i.e. both parties say the same thing. And it's true that to have the strongest effect on crime it a massive upheaval of society would be required. But it's not true that nothing could be done by politicians NOW. Specifically, authorities (especially local) could focus on making housing (and transportation) free or as cheap as possible. I swear to you if a city spend the vast majority of its resources focused on HOUSING all its inhabitants you would see a drop in crime.
