The Problem With Nitpicking
In 2018, the longest stretch where temperatures were over 100 were recorded was 15 days. Alex and this guy don't have a memory. They feel like it was way hotter in the past than it was because that feeling helps them justify the worldview that they prefer. Their memories are feeling based, not empirical, but they pretend like their memories are some kind of hard scientific proof that makes their point. It's just fluff that means nothing. And then Alex gets Alex. Well, maybe it's because of the heat. This episode that we're listening to was recorded on July 26th and July 25th was the 17th day in a row in Austin where the temperature over 100 was recorded.
