Cornell Professor and raconteur Dave Collum joins me again for a Rogen-esque 2.5 hours covering all of our obsessions in a nearly futile bid to stave off the worst effects of the demoralization campaign we are all living through to rob us of our humanity and allow the worst people in the world (TFP!) to retain power.

It’s more likely that the cv19 virus actually initially “escaped” the lab in Wuhan in spring 2019. See @EthicalSkeptic’s work on this topic via Twitter. He pretty convincingly uses viral genetic markers to trace it’s lineage to spring 2019.
I sat listening to these two old men thinking: I thought Israel; surely someone has to wake up eventually… they let it happen. There are too many impossibles that popped up at the beginning that will never be looked into. The big investigation will be lost in all the BS… a flood of confused and obtuse ‘facts’ that can never be caught up with… they come too fast that can never be grasped in time to make sense… designed to confuse, throwing ash-dust into the air like an OT prophets.
Psyop? A viral rna can pandemic and travel around the world.
Wow! Two fellow chemists I generally respect, both choose to believe in the fairy stories we were all told as kids for fear of upsetting their world view. Of course we went to the moon, first try, through the deady Van Allen radiation belts protected by tinfoil! A thousand times further from the earth than we can go today, with computing power of a 1990 Nokia.
Hi Tom,
Great podcast with Dave as well as with Tommy and the Three Bald Guys !!!
Don’t sweat it that James doesn’t see what you see. I don’t think I would have either without podcasts 75-77. As a second major historian, I thought I knew what World War II was all about, but podcasts 75-77 made me go back and take a second look. If you want to get James clued in, I really recommend this book:
The Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy
“There was no aspect of Nazi power untouched by economics, yet Adam Tooze is the first to place economics alongside race and politics at the heart of the story of the Third Reich.”
“The Wages of Destruction is a chilling work of originality and tremendous scholarship that will fundamentally change the way in which we view Nazi Germany and the Second World War.”
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/711592.The_Wages_of_Destruction
There is NOT A SINGLE THING / decision in that war that economics didn’t touch/influence, from the Invasion of Poland, to Stalingrad to D-Day. Every time you hear a historian claim that “Hitler made an irrational decision” it means that they never looked at the economics. I guarantee you that you will never look at the war the same way after reading that … and the book has a lot to teach about the current state of the de-industrialized West as well: “We stood up a tank army without tank factories, thus relegating our best weapon to a skeleton force.” ~ Gen. Hermann Balck.
Economics is the axis upon which all of history turns, but so few people look at it because they want “heroic narratives”, not aluminum production figures and copper allocations.
I think James will understand what 5.75% means verses 3.75% after reading that book, it is hugely significant. IMHO
I just saw the Gingrich clip below and it brought me back to your discussion with Dave Collum. If you want to introduce some fiction to Dave, in addition to Philip K. Dick, he might enjoy this:
Gingrich on “Yes, Minister” & “Yes, Prime Minister”:
Yes, Prime Minister:
Yes, Minister:
Sometimes maybe it is only possible to tell the truth through fiction rather than non-fiction? In addition to the laughs, that series definitively meets Dave’s criteria of “leaving you smarter after you finished it”.
