0G162: Three Body Problem and The Problem of Induction Pt2
Here comes the heel turn where we use the pod to get you to turn on humanity and embrace our new desiccated overlords. Once again we're joined by Matt Browne of Decoding the Gurus to help fine tune our guru messaging so everyone gets onboard. To destabilize your worldview and make you vulnerable to our plan, we discuss the problem of induction and why your belief about the future isn't actually rational.

0G160: Disney's Atlantis and Racist Pseudohistory
Come on my rag tag crew! According to this old map I found, our journey down the rabbit hole of racist conspiracism is about to bring us to the place where it all started. Disney! I mean, Atlantis! An ancient civilization that seems super cool as long you don't think at all about who else thinks it's super cool and why. We discuss why Atlantis fits so well into a regressive conservative philosophy, especially if that philosophy crops up in the early to mid 1900s.
