No, he dunks on nfts and the ape yachts and they watch the ad for the bored ape cartoon and Katie’s mind is blown

He also brings up lowtax and how SA is fundamentally responsible for a lot of the internet, good and ill alike, thanks to poo poo like 4chan and the old SA pedophile website takedowns and such

i just don't get it. i know rich fucks are bored and dumb and weird but if you want art, just buy ART. like donate to a museum a gently caress ton and basically buy a gallery section or a whole gallery of a museum through donations of whatever kind of art you like. like gently caress, if i were rich, id fill my second empire haunted house with like a mix of classic/modern/40k/patreon art. but these fucks blow it on loving jpegs from a random generator. loving blow your money on artists, like real ones.

The point of NFTs is not the actual art, is their potential as an investment or as a money-laundering mechanism.

gently caress, a lot (if not most) of the billions of dollars rich people spend in "real" art are for those exact same reasons. NFTs just make it even easier.

Ok, is there something wrong with my phone or was there some screwups with the episode dates/upload? Because I just got the latest ep (Part One of Libertarian Boat Cities) but the episode date shows up as last Thursday and so it was hidden. I had assumed Robert had taken Thanksgiving off and it's not usual to have a part one on a Thursday).

I appreciated this episode because I could hear them react to a video that would have absolutely done absurd psychic damage so I absolutely did not have to by proxy.

I just went through the Facebook 2-parter with Jamie Loftus and, like any episodes with her, it was excellent. Also: gently caress! That all sucks!

Same as well for Apple Podcasts. Says it came out in Thursday when it absolutely didn’t (because I was hoping for a Thursday episode)

Listening to the Libertarian Island ep, which is very good, but something caught my ear that I heard in the Facebook episodes. Robert keeps calling Snow Crash the foundational work of cyberpunk and it's so incorrect. I'm not sure why it bothers me since it doesn't actually matter. Maybe because it's also not very good cyberpunk.

I called him out on Twitter for this egregious neuromancer erasure

And he didn’t even go on to mention how the second half of the plot of snow crash has a lolbertarian sea island made of boats, gosh darn it

Snow crash is a very foundational cyberpunk novel to 13 year old me but holy gently caress did it not age gracefully

Is there that much of a difference between Objectivism and Libertarianism? Since Bioshock was very specifically a criticism of the former (to the point that the Big Bad was not only called Andrew Ryan but he even had Ayn Rand's childhood) my nitpicky side perked up but maybe the two ideologies are close enough to make that sort of quibbling meaningless.

Edit: lol i thought the name was a mere tweak but Andrew Ryan is literally an anagram for New Ayn Rand. That rules.

American Libertarianism can be boiled down to overly simplified Objectivism, free markets, and all the drugs. It's a really reductive ideology, and in the same way Americans use the word 'liberal', doesn't cover the actual full meaning and can confuse non Americans in discussions. It's why Robert specified 'free market libertarians' versus 'social libertarians' in the episode.
