It's interesting to see what's rattling around in Lex's head, when he envisions a civilization with technology more advanced than ours. It says more about what's in his head than about any hypothetical civilization, though. He loves being inspired; but it's unbelievably naive to think that feeling of inspiration is more important than preventing this technology from falling into the hands of bad actors.

We're not in a Civil War right now, whatever Tim Pool says. We may be in a runup to a Civil War, though. We're in a sort of "Bleeding Kansas" period. Street violence has similarities to "Weimar Germany" too. We'd best not elect either a James Buchanan-like weakling (Biden), or a obvious authoritarian (Harris) with a clear willingness to act unconstitutionally once in power.

@kevinc9065 Ignore the fact that he hasn't really done anything all that authoritarian, despite rioters giving him ample reason to do so? An authoritarian that allows the states to make decisions on Covid policy? If he's an authoritarian, he's not very good at it.

Or, according to Joe, "Misunderestimated." Proof he's a closet GWB fan?

Dude, if we could vote online, 4chan would put Pepe in the White House.

Compare Commanche raiding culture with Christian Enlightenment culture. Christian Enlightenment culture is better. I'm not sorry to say it.

@henrymudgett2646 In practice there was a lot wrong with the residential schools. There was a lot of bad blood on both sides that made abuse more likely under those sorts of circumstances. Any sort of circumstances, really. Compared to the atrocities that were happening a generation before, though? I wouldn't exactly call the residential school issues "first world problems", but they weren't a case of suspending someone upside-down over a fire until the fluids in their skulls boiled and their heads exploded, or burying them up to their necks in an anthill and cutting their eyelids off. I'm not convinced they had a better plan, or that any other plan would have had better results in practice. That said, crimes are crimes, and the people running the school should have been held accountable for those crimes.

@henrymudgett2646 The Indians committed those atrocities against the settlers. Listening to research presented in this interview would have taught you some of that, and you can research the rest if you'd like. I agree with you that there was criminal abuse against the kids, who hadn't done anything wrong. I'm only arguing that as bad as the residential schools were, they were better than the status quo (including those atrocities). It's the sort of plan that would look good on paper, so it's not all that surprising that they were implemented, and it's presentist hubris that you'd have come up with a better solution. I'm open to other ideas for future reference, if you'd like to propose some.

There's absolutely no way the Chaz primitives could have ever built anything like downtown Seattle. Trump the real estate developer is as far above the Chazis as God is above Trump.

Trump was apparently firing Pentagon players who would lie to him about the status of troops in the Middle East. If you lie to your boss about whether you've done what he's told you to do, can you really be surprised when he fires you?

Aaaand David smears Project Veritas without giving any proof whatsoever. Keep it classy, Dave.

YouTube Challenge: Turn that into the first line of a doggerel poem about the rise of AI.

Seriously. Do you know how many people in Africa have done the biological equivalent of blue-screening because of Gates' vaccines? I think we should make at least some effort to listen to what might be wrong. Show some scientific skepticism, if that's what you're into. Center black voices, if that's what you're into. There are reasons to be skeptical.

@Bro-Brah Yeah, but you lose all respect for the man when he talks about how he would get dates in his Republic.

Which direction does the causality go? Do people with joint problems tend not to run?

So why don't the Reparations supporters start with an easy one here? If you were human trafficked (basically enslaved) today, you get to sue your trafficker for Reparations. Set up some precedents, all that good stuff. It's almost as if they don't really want justice, they just want a club to beat people with, or a free payout.

@ligmakrak3316 I'm sure you don't mean large-scale street protests. Just everyone peaceably going about their business, then, in some courageous defiance of authoritarian measures?

Hey Joe, you should get PJ O'Rourke on your show. He's a funny guy who's had an interesting life as the War Correspondent for Rolling Stone. He did drugs with Hunter Thompson back in the day. His bibliography has books like "Holidays in H*ll" and "Parliament of Wh*res". He's apparently doing the interview circuit again these days -- he's live on the Commonwealth Club right now (dunno if this link will work after it wraps up though) -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTbViyH3vp0

Hey Jocko, Joe -- talk with The Officer Tatum about how much training cops get.

The only thing that can help the material condition of these protesters is to be able to go back to work, and work without competing for wages with the hemisphere's poorest. As Bernie always said, Open Borders are a Koch Brothers proposal. Say what you want about his personal style, six months ago Trump had us going in the right direction. If he stops the fires and gets us back to work, that the best path forward here.

Sometimes I wonder whether Marcus Aurelius was as good as he's always presented, or if he was a complete b*****d who was just self-aware, and wanted to be better.

"Is the US Constitution a threat to America's politics?" If so, we should change our politics.

Joe Rogan re-establishes the Temperance Society? Wow.

Why are we getting a second wave now? Because Covid is a flu. It gets worse when the weather gets colder.

If you've been around stables at all, sometimes you'll see a sign talking about "Equine Inherent Risk Law", which means if you're around horses sometimes they'll kick you in the head and you can't sue anyone for that. Anyway, I think that's the kind of thing you're talking about with legal street fighting.

Black Lives Matter -- make sure Kamala Harris never holds office again!

Prince Andrew is probably the least important person she has information on.

What do you do with the Burning Bush? Well, remember that the Creator is the One who's at work here. There's something unique going on. Science can only tell us about things that show up again and again, and can be tested under lab conditions. This leads to an amazing wealth of knowledge that we can apply to things like going to the Moon. It can't explain things that don't happen repeatedly, and the assumption that everything happens repeatedly and can be tested in lab conditions is just that -- an assumption.

5:33 -- This is absolute bull****. Rogan should know better. No such thing as people being intellectual snobs? No such thing as intelligent people thinking that less intelligent people are a rabble fit only for obedience? Intellectualism (and anti-intellectualism) are rife in American society. For heaven's sake, wasn't Joe paying attention to the 2016 election? What does he think the "Google vs. America" theme is all about? Joe, pay attention!

Joe, the New Testament has been translated exactly once-- from the original Greek (that was spoken by the people who wrote it), twice if you count the fact that most of the words spoken by Christ were in Aramaic. The majority of the Old Testament is translated exactly once -- from the original Hebrew. This "game of translation telephone" is overstated at best, bad-faith argument at worst.
1
7:00 -- This is possibly the most important point in solving the problems of society and life in general -- multiply social structures to the point that everyone can be at or near the top of at least one hierarchy. This is why monogamous family units are so important*. Social expectations go this way: Men and women pair off so that they can be the most important person in each others' lives, and they take responsibility for the children they create so that *all children have at least two people (grandparents matter here too) who think of those children as the most important children in the world.

Weird, that the algorithm is feeding me stuff like this these days.

Signifiers that are transferred to a new target can come to exclusively signify that target. The French are still pretending they don't know what we did to the word "toilet".

How much would advanced technology change the world? That would depend on whether the US has it, or someone else has it. The only answer that doesn't involve massive instability and war, is if the US has it.

Hey Bob, for your own enjoyment, you should start looking up more scientific information in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). No kidding, that's their official acronym.
1
The media behavior here doesn't look suspicious at all. At all. Not in any way. There's nothing that they're covering for. There's nothing that they're hiding. Nothing to see here, folks, move along.

Why does Bill Gates want everyone in the world to have to be injected with his vaccine? Why did Bill Gates want everyone in the world to have to use Internet Explorer? He thinks he knows better than everyone else. I think his performance with Windows makes questioning that, a reasonable position.

@nikkingman It's pretty controversial to s**t on Bob Woodward, though. And to call him CIA. Bill's simple act of standing up for a friend, ironically has the power to undermine the entire anti-Nixon narrative, which is completely based on Bob Woodward's credibility.
1
@ Woodward's a liar and a deep-state shill. It's amazing he's made it so far without being uncovered.

@JSp8 Did you read the rest of the Wired article? Can you tell us that the first five pages were not a representative sample? Talk about lack of critical thought, and a tendency to ignore evidence.

Dude, why is it OK if rioters are trying to burn down ANY buildings in Portland? Seriously, why?

If the relationship is between the mechanics of chewing, and jaw development, why is it heritable?

If each of these socialized health care systems has good points and bad points, couldn't that reflect trade-offs they have had to make? I mean, you're not going to get a car that's as fast as a sportscar, as fuel-efficient as a hybrid, seats as many as a minivan, and has the storage capacity of a stationwagon / SUV. I know Pakman is serenely confident that a sufficiently organized system will inevitably be superior on all counts, but can that really be true?

Watching an old JRE episode, one of the ones with Steven Crowder -- they were talking about how apparently Anthony Bourdain was deep into this, and his end may have been met same as Epstein's.

Keep your phone in a solid metal box (but don't let it touch the box). Or if you're really clever, figure out what wavelengths it operates at, and get wire mesh that will block those wavelengths (see: Faraday Cage).

Nah, all we have to do is actually arrest the handful of professional rioters that are causing all the trouble. We're on our way to doing that.

Jaime -- Reuters = "Royters". Weird German pronunciation.
