Xaris posted:is that the matt christman one? i thought it was alright, mostly because of matt though Counterfactuals can be masturbatory, sure, but both Matt and Danny point out what they are useful for in the ep and that's sussing out important events from the "noise" of history. That having been said if that's what your podcast is about maybe don't pick for your debut episode an event to examine that both hosts feel made no difference in retrospect.

AgentF posted:Listened to it pretty regularly for a number of years and noticed the quality of discussion get worse and worse. Clare Malone was the only one willing to get to root causes of issues and would regularly get interrupted or ignored, and then was turfed. The more I learned about politics the more important issues I noticed their conversations doggedly avoiding. This is the worst part about lib media in general. "Look how bad this is." Is there a root cause? We'll never know but isn't it terrible? And the worse whatever it is they're talking about the more obvious both the root cause is, the more awkwardly the presenter avoids actually discussing it, and the less attention paid to any possible solution. NPR was built on this formula.

I'd been going back through the ALAB catalog in preparation for this since the announcements and I'd say there are two types of eps, the kind where they poo poo all over someone and the kind where they want to explain some concept (and one movie ep). There are bangers in both, but the first kind is almost always perfect (I'd probably say the Dersh two parter is a little flat but eps 3, 4-5, 8, 12, 17, & 20 (the last two being the Michigan militia and Jan 6 eps) are hilarious. The second kind has some great ones too, Gerontacracy 19 is wonderful as an example. Be aware that The Scapegoat two parter is a real downer. Honestly the one that I think about an awful lot is 21, The Racism's Baked Right In. Not funny really at all but so interesting. It might just be because Andy's so passionate about it and he's a joy to listen to but really it's just a fascinating view into something I hadn't thought about before. New ep wasn't bad at all but it also wasn't really a "true" ALAB simply due to format. It's great to have a little more after so long though, I hope there are more to come.

Wolfsheim posted:I finally listened to the new trueanon and I thought the author of the book about cities being bad would get into the reasoning or structural problems or whatever but they all just kinda listed hipster city trends they dont like for an hour lol Wasn't the book about increasing homogeneity in cities? Not that that makes it any better, cultural homogeneity is a direct result of increased communication and why would cities, both the infrastructure and the vibe, be exempt? Kinda nitpicky but there is a difference between "cities are bad" and "cities are all the same" and I think his premise is the latter.

i say swears online posted:lol speaking of, is there any documentary out there anyone knows of that was a retrospective on the 20th century that was filmed and released before 9/11? that'd be a fantastic time capsule since they usually include a few sentences geared toward the future Around the turn of the millennium there were a bunch but they were pretty much all 100% about how great America was and how we more or less curbstomped the entire world into complete and total submission to our awesomeness and looking ahead there is absolutely no way any of this will go badly for America ever. If there's anything bad about the US in any of them it would be something along the lines of it just being too perfect and that it's so boring doing nothing but being the best at everything without trying and not having anything to criticize living in what is definitely heaven on earth if heaven were like a billion percent better than it is. This is the one I was thinking of specifically.

Frosted Flake posted:Yeah, I meant it more that China doesn’t seem interested. A lot of US foreign policy moves seem reckless or unexpected and it seems people aren’t sure how to react. The Soviets weren't interested in a cold war either. It only takes one side to be belligerent. Fly Molo has pretty much the correct read on the situation from my point of view. The only one of the ten that hasn't come to pass is the cancer one and only if you read that in the strictest sense, that it would have to be cancer rates that exposes the US healthcare system's fragility. It also frames it as linked to pollution which is much, much better since the 90s so it's only correct obliquely, that the US healthcare system is on the brink of collapse (or depending on the region is in a state indistinguishable from collapse), but whiffed both on the cause and mechanism. Still, given that this is a list of ten predicted catastrophes of which nine are mostly correct and this is closest to wrong, I'm willing to give it to them because actual consequence was predicted.

Wraith of J.O.I. posted:yeah this was really great, i might need to clip that to send to my dad every time he asks why people are descending in crazy conspiracism I mean the root causes are obvious to everyone (I'd hope) but likening a shared reality to a public good that has been depleted (and he didn't mention it but has essentially been privatized) is a framing that I've always felt but never heard articulated. He in three minutes was able to explain the crisis, lay out why it's important, and make a strong argument as to where culpability lies in a way that someone who hadn't given it a lot of thought can completely internalize. I was genuinely moved by it.

C-Euro posted:Finally getting around to listening to If Books Could Kill and it's good, can't wait for them to do an episode on something that I own or have read. Their comment at the end about how the most powerful people in society are susceptible to, if not enthusiastic about, the same dumb bullshit that's normally associated with the broader population has been one of my more important realizations since Trump became president. I have read Freakonomics and noticed all the poo poo they pointed out at that time. The chapter about black names stood out particularly for its overt racism. I was hoping they'd also mention the chapter about why drug dealers are often poor which really combined the specious reasoning, racism, and ideology of the author but as they said there's so much in there they can't pick it all. But yeah, good podcast.

I don’t find Dave smith, Luis j Gomez or big jay particularly funny. they have funny people on sometimes, and it excels when they make fun of Luis. it’s fun when Nick Mullen goes on but not really worth listening to otherwise. I haven't heard of this podcast but I cannot tolerate this Big Jay slander.

KirbyKhan posted:They do, it is the second half. They do about 3-4 paragraphs of talking about each subforum. He recites the history of LF and CSPAM. He name drops Brown Mosus and Bellingcat as proof for the far and wide reach that our great forums have. You skipped over the worst part which is the lack of preparation on the part of the hosts. There are two and one knows almost nothing about the topic. The other has knowledge but at no point did they sit down with an outline about what the episode would be about so it's just run-on sentences and ideas that come to them in the moment but out of order. There was a structure agreed upon in advance but it comes out muddled showing an obvious lack of just writing down what they wanted to say about each subforum, or what ideas they wanted to bring across to the listener. Yes, the production is bad but the lack of preparation is unforgivable. With a plan it would've been an amateur production that at least clearly conveys something but if you're unfamiliar with the material then really all a naive listener would glean was that SA was (is?) an old gathering place with an interesting history (citations needed). They don't have prepared examples for their assertions. When describing something they don't give any examples for context. The most egregious was the attempt to describe FYAD with something along the lines of "They talk about all kinds of stuff here that's just way over the line. Let me open it up... yeah I can't read any of these thread titles on this podcast." Okay, that tells the listener nothing. HAVE AN EXAMPLE READY. In descriptions of the subforums again he's just saying what he believes off the top of his head instead of saying why a listener should care. Occasionally he backs into something interesting about them, like how toxxing changed the politics of the forums from libertarian to socialist, but it's entirely by accident. The descriptions should be "This is what it is, this is why you should care" but mostly they aren't. It's very much a goon project where no effort was made to establish a plan first and the execution is just winging it and hoping it comes together. Simply put, I have no faith that any effort will be forthcoming in either planning for each episode's narrative or the flow of episodes so that a naive listener would care about these stories in a wider context. It's a complete failure at every level.

KirbyKhan posted:YES! Lack of preparation coupled with the academic distance. I retched at being described as a tribe. It hits similar tone as the Lowtax College Presentation, where I can tell this college educated dude spent 20,000 hours on the forums, but only spent 2 hours thinking about how to describe it to someone who wasn't already a mod. The other thing is that they (I say "they" but it's really just the only qualified guy) completely miss the core concept that makes forums generate content when describing the structure. This is why I say I have no faith they can make this an interesting podcast. In the back half, as described, he just runs down the forums in order and says what they are. What he doesn't explain in detail is the purpose (though he does mention that it's what they are) of FYAD-lites. This is a SA-specific concept that a naive listener would have no analogy for, so you'd expect him to say something like "There are forums about topics, like computers or politics, where serious discussion takes place but attached to some are forums called 'FYAD-lites' where they talk about the same topic, but from a position of already being knowledgeable about it and make observations about the humor to be found within." and then provide examples like YOSPOS being tech industry insiders talking about how lovely the tech industry is or LF/C-SPAM viewing politics as inherently bad. YOU'D DO THIS BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE HUMOR COMES FROM. So they failed to explain an important foreign concept that is directly in service of the purported end of the podcast itself. If they're going to do that, they aren't going to understand or highlight anything of any importance. And again, that's something that comes up if you have a plan because otherwise it's a guy reading a list into a microphone badly. Also I should mention that killhamster is mentioned in the credits (sound design or something)

To bring podcasts into it, it reminded me of right after Andy's thoughts on conspiratorial thinking in the most recent ALAB where the new guy said something along the lines of "It's never a good feeling when someone's telling you about repitilians running the banks and then says 'What about Iraq?' and you have to concede they have a point there." I wouldn't mind ALAB's release schedule so much if they had a 100+ episode catalog....
