#268 – Robert Proctor: Nazi Science and Ideology
Lex Fridman Podcast
Nazi Tobacco Industry Newspaper
I was looking at how the Nazi tobacco industry had their own denial campaign. They developed a lot of these rhetorical tricks that were later used by the Americans. I noticed just in passing these remarkable stories little hints there's a report from a Japanese military man and they're talking about this brotherhood of all men through cigarettes. Even though the all they want is a smoke yeah they nonetheless end up in the crosshairs and in death, so it's just weird i'm reading this translate from the Japanese into German in a Nazi tobacco industry newspaper. The layers of weirdness are really fascinating and touching but and they make mistakes too.
