s05e34 | The Art of Being Pwned, with Curtis Yarvin

Curtis Yarvin returns to discuss why he loves the libs, wants to destroy their world-wide echo chamber, how he went so hard to the right, Elon Musk's Twitter's chances of overthrowing the cathedral, and why I look like a Mormon. Curtis is among the most thought-provoking political thinkers I've gotten to rap with. His older work, "Unqualified Reservations" is a treasure trove of dissident anti-establishment thought (I highly recommend "How Dawkins Got Pwned" and "An Open Letter to Open Minded Pr...

s05e27 | Canada's Easy-Access Euthanasia Program, "MAiD" with Rupa Subramanya

Rupa Subramanya is a Indian-Canadian journalist who's been digging into the nuances and disturbing trajectories of Canada's government. In this conversation we broach the topic of "MAiD"—Canada's "Medical Assistance in Dying" program, which began with giving terminally ill people a quickened end, and is now being broadened to include mental illnesses and "mature minors." Some morbid stuff, but Rupa handles it with balance and inquisitiveness. Rupa's article on MAiD: https://www.commonsense.news/...

s05e20 | Furry Fandom & Detransition, with Ria

Ria got involved in "Furry" fandom a decade ago, drawn to this fuzzy niche culture by its emphasis on creativity and quirky social gatherings. Over the years, however, she saw it succumb to "social justice" ideas, where people policed each other's thoughts and art on the basis of fighting oppression. In tandem, a sexual element began to become more prevalent, with a disturbing amount of "minor-attracted" art and "grooming" behavior. Oh yeah, she also was trans for a while, and detransitioned due...
