We parse through the fallout of Douglas Murray vs. Dave Smith, and revisit the "woke right". James Lindsay and co. continue to embarrass themselves with an incorrect association.

Is the "free market of ideas" leading us to truth?  Join me on Anarcho-Caffeinated to hear my thoughts about Eric Weinstein's comments on the subject.  

Welcome to Anarcho-Caffeinated! A morning show where we try to understand HOW to look at the world. Not reporting the news, but what's behind it? Commenting on commentary, sipping coffee, and taking a liberty approach to the hot issues of the week 4/20 edition - Picking at collective fictions featuring clips from Eric Weinstein

Morning show where I share my thought process on filtering the news. Grab some coffee and get anarcho-caffeinated! Find me live on X, one of these days I'll commit to a schedule. I have some follow-up thoughts on the Smith vs. Murray debate, who should be treated as an "expert"? And then looking at some clips from Bill Maher's show- he visited Trump and was impressed, and Bannon says Trump will be a 3 term president. Should we be scared?

Very first edition of Anarcho-Caffeinated (AnCaf for short)! Bring your coffee and sip with me while I look over what's going on in the world, and maybe present a different way to think about it.  Sorry for the bad audio at first, I forgot I needed a mic in front of me... Anyway, I go over the complaint of "lack of expertise" Douglas Murray lorded over Dave Smith on Joe Rogan's podcast. I wasn't a fan of the argument. Then a quick look at some comments from Bernie on a CNN town hall. Recorded Live on X April 12, 2025
