I thought the doc was good but holy poo poo the sound editing was atrocious. One minute Felix sounds like he's in a studio and the next in a closet with a tape deck.

Jon Bois' eulogy to Radioshack is still my favorite thing from him and one of the best things I've ever read.

What was Zizek's point about the last Game of Thrones episode being Actually Good? Just that it revealed how lovely these people really were or something?

Anybody else get the feeling that Virgil is going to turn heel and we're going to get an article in the Atlantic called something like "The Hypocrisy of the Dirtbag Left" where he's their primary source. And then he gets a job at 538 or something lol

It's honestly kinda odd. I'm sure it's not exactly all sunshine and roses in Jacksonville, but there are plenty of cities that have a way worse violent crime rate.

The song rules so it's not surprising

I'm from there, it's a pretty average southern city in most ways, with all the problems that entails, just on a much smaller scale than Houston or Atlanta. It sucks but in a quaint way. Props to "Nardo Wick" for making podcasters think its Port au Prince or something lol

Even if the doomers are right, it's an outlook whose only prescription is resigned nihilism (see the numerous cspam failbrain alcoholic threads)

honestly even if it does end up being an entirely naive and utopian position there's far greater value in articulating a vision if the future where humanity comes together in the face of climate change and survives than 'nothing matters lol'

This is true, but what KSR, or anyone, has failed to do is get to that optimistic scenario from a clear headed understanding of how intractible capitalism is within the US political system. He still has the boomer lib idea that everyone ultimately wants a better world, and if there were only an Al Gore or Liz Warren to make things right, we'd start to move in the right direction. It's a misunderstanding of *Adam Curtis voice* "power"

Not a great episode for the "Felix argues with the guests" crowd, but it's not like an adversarial interview would've accomplished anything.

He pushes back on a lot more than Will did when Kim Stanley Robinson started praising billionaires

It's always weird to hear them transition from pseudo-PSA horserace talk, promoting the governor of Illinois as the next president, and then going straight into the uselessness and nihilism of the democrats (which is true) and the need for revolution.

Matt's solution is to "talk to people" but how is that different than what the DSA already is?
