What was that podcast Matt christman went on, the one the true anon account had a hilarious beef with. The hosts talk in academic gibberish, uses 20 words where 3 would do fine. Ring any bells

Gorn Myson posted:Before the internet broke his brain, Matt Taibbi had some spectacular takes on Friedman. Hes pretty much the only reason I even know about him and what hes like. friedman is more politically engaged, wealthier and more powerful than any of us are likely to ever be, and he does this while being completely and obviously stupid. there must be something at work here

from their follow-up episode after having christman on "Cohosts Will Beaman and Natalie Smith are joined by Scott Ferguson and Andrés Bernal to reflect on a recent "close encounter" with the Dirtbag Left. They diagnose the perverse comfort that the Dirtbag Left takes in contracting political economy around fixed points of "leverage" over political elites. Touching on the Jimmy Dore controversy and a recent Chapo episode on Avatar, the team compares the austere physics metaphors that structure the Left's hopelessness to neoliberal action cinema's preoccupation with what Ferguson has called its "Hyper-Newtonian Aesthetics"."

The nicest thing I can say about Thomas Friedman is that his face is less upsetting to look at than David Frum's, David Brooks', or Ross Douthat's. I like it when Chapo dunks on regional op-ed writers I've never heard of. Jacoby is a funny character even without the Caleb saga, and I remember Felix went on an extended rant about some Chicago chud whose only passions are racism and junk food.

leverage is one of the most basic things you need to understand for any kind of negotiation the idea of dismissing it as a physics metaphor because it was yelled at you by a sasquatch toddler is the most fart huffing poo poo ever lmao

Finicums Wake posted:the left mocks libertarian ideas, but generally leftists respect their ability to build influential institutions. like, how loving influential was the mont pelerin socoety? you don't get neoliberalism without it. the koch stuff is impressive too (and outlined in more detail in jane meyer's book than the episode). Yeah the point here isn't "the libertarians are more competent" but that the people who act like the left exists as any sort of real competition against them (much less being a group that is more powerful) is nonsense.

Add to that the general grad-student brainworms and you have a podcast.
