I've heard like none of that on War Nerd, it's honestly been a lot of very good poo poo about historical wars with some commentary on modern happenings that seems good to me?

Isn't war nerd the one with the dude who went to Russia so he could be a professional rapist? edit: yup. quote:When I went back into the TV room, Andy pulled me aside with a worried grin on his face. 'Dude do you realize...do you know how old that Natasha is?' he said.

The War Nerd is good (and is not pro-war) and speaking of The Exile so is the new podcast The Tarfu Report from Chapo guests Taibbi and Pareene

I'm still not sure what to make of it tbh. e: to clarify, I kinda read that poo poo as Ames and Taibi trying to play Hunter S Thompson in writing.

Uhh Yeah Dude is the best podcast because it's a pure expression of this country's dumb brokenness through a non-political lens and also Seth and Jah are real good together. And if you liked the terrible advice column section of last week's Chapo, UYD regularly delves into the more insane side of advice Columning https://youtube.com/watch?v=VK0XzQKgyzE Dimebags Brain fucked around with this message at 23:13 on Jul 18, 2017 |

uber_stoat posted:the War Nerd "Gary Brecher" is the pseudonym for John Dolan, who has worked and still works with Ames, but he's not the same guy. Dolan also has pretty much dropped the character at this point, and it's more just a podcast about history and foreign affairs. Although, it's worth going back to some of his old stuff, because it's hilarious and he's a fantastic writer. http://exiledonline.com/war-nerd-tom-clancy-is-not-one-of-us/ Gary Brecher posted:Clancy was born in 1947. So he was 20 years old in 1967. Good age to go to Vietnam. Did you ever hear about Clancy serving in Nam? No, you didn’t. That’s because he spent the war at a safe little Catholic college in Maryland, making sure he had a deferment. “Hail Mary full of grace/Keep me far from Charlie’s place!” Was referenced a lot in early Chapo episodes as well, so the guys clearly listen to him. Also, the income from the podcast is literally keeping Dolan alive, because he is pretty much the least employable guy ever, and was run out of the last country that he and his wife tried to settle down in. https://pando.com/2015/05/03/the-war-nerd-escape-from-east-timor-part-one/ https://pando.com/2015/05/13/the-war-nerd-escape-from-east-timor-part-two/ How Darwinian fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Jul 19, 2017 |

Something that's stuck with me for awhile is Zuckerberg's remark that "There are going to be trillionaires, and we need to get used to that idea." That feels like a pretty good place to draw a line. The idea of single individuals amassing that much wealth (and power) makes me feel a little crazy.

I just got done listening to debt: the first 5,000 years, and it was pretty interesting. It's an anthropologist outlining the history of money and debt and deals with how we view financial transactions as moral issues. It's good if you run out of podcasts

This is the sort of Crackpot Realism that drives me crazy. (You know, the kind that offers zero evidence in its favour and is easily countered with history.)

Also, silicon valley in a vacuum would not innovate poo poo. It's all a bunch of idiots throwing venture capital into a pit of grifters, hoping the next juicero becomes the next snapchat. All the really useful stuff comes out of public sector research from universities, which in turn is going for its own version of short-termism.

Halloween Jack posted:The unquestioned assumption in Zuckerberg's statement is that technological progress is impossible if individuals aren't free to amass that much wealth--despite the progress the U.S. made when marginal tax rates were much, much, much higher than they are now. the whole techbro midset is "I became obscenely rich while having certain beliefs, therefore these beliefs are cosmic truths" I mean, how much money have these history and sociology "experts" made?
