Episode notes

New stories take hold for whatever reason they do and capture the zeitgeist. This story was even you know more complicated or I guess maybe sticky based on the fact that it was the Titanic, he says. "You can't shame people for caring about something that actually was wild to behold"

This week in Pirate Wires: We discuss the Titanic submersible that was destroyed in a catastrophic implosion. We dig into the insane discourse surrounding the event, the de-humanization of the victims, and overwhelming hatred of the rich on the left. We also discuss the Science debate between Joe Rogan, RFK Jr. and Peter Hotez. Featuring Mike Solana, Sanjana Friedman, and Brandon Gorrell.
