The latest episode of the Didactic Mind podcast is freshly brewed and steaming right now, so get it while it’s hot. Today’s podcast – well, “today” only in the sense that it’s still technically Sunday for my American readers, while it’s actually Monday morning for me – was uploaded much later than usual because of various family stuff that got in the way. I’m actually massively behind in a number of projects that I need to get done, so the next few days are probably going to be a bit hectic.

At any rate, in this podcast I talk about the nature of the Dirt World’s “stupidity tax”, and the ways in which the sheer levels of incompetence, venality, greed, stupidity and backwardness, wear down and destroy initiative and productivity and intelligence, and the ways in which that stupidity manifest themselves in low-average-IQ populations in general to create a vicious circle that is probably impossible to break out of.
