Episode description

The adventure in formatting continues with the second Supplementary Material episode, in which we:

• lament we don't command the same level of loyalty as Sam's fans
• commend a noted sycophant for warning about idolising heros
• assess the degree to which the "Dissident Dialogues" conference is anything other than bog-standard right-wing orthodoxy; and
• reveal the TRUTH about Norman Finkelstein's angry ranting

as well as so many more opinionated meanderings, for those decent citizens who are willing to pay us the measly sum of $2 month so Chris doesn't have to do three jobs just to exist in this capitalist society

On this episode:

• Sam Harris Devotees
• Dissident Dialogues
• Lex's important message about not worshipping idols
• Trumpian Bloodbath & Media Criticism
• Lex Fridman's Israel-Palestine Debate
• Finkelstein vs. Destiny
• Genocidal Debates

The full episode is available for Patreon subscribers (1hr 14mins).
