I dunno dawg I also was once a disaffected Canadian gifted and talented program kid who read Ayn Rand and didn’t know how to talk to girls but I didn’t respond to that by getting into race science, aggressively asserting my perceived superiority in a public forum or — worst of all — starting a PODCAST. This guy needs to touch grass to save his soul.

Content is generally good but Brian sounds like he’s touched two women his whole life and will casually drop dating takes despite smelling like an absolute fraud. Better to stick to philosophy, tech, history. Sound quality is spotty at best. The volume dynamics need to get compressed so lows are higher and highs are lower. Thad Russell interview for example has Thad totally silent. In a similar vein, Brian’s voice often turns into an annoying Kermit the Frog impression when he gets excited.

Brian and I basically follow the exact same people on Twitter so it’s pretty cool to listen to him talk to them. I’ve only skipped the Greg Guevara episode because Jreg is super cringe. Everything else is great.

This seems like a podcast I would like based on the guests and Brian’s great midwit article but his interviewing skills are subpar and I guess I just don’t care about hand wavy overly systematized yet unverifiable meme based generalizations about institutions and politics.

One of the more unique podcasters and an actual free-thinker out there right now. Brian manages to both cover the major topics of the day and deal with the esoteric aspects of the discussion; he goes down rabbit holes yet stays connected to main thread of the discussion. Very well done!

Detailed conversations you won’t find in the mainstream media about the important policy topics of the day. Tried to get at the truth of how the world really works.
