“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”
This week’s episode is all about game theory and its profound and powerful application to politics. I use the lens of game-theoretic understanding to provide insights into why the Right keeps losing against the Left. As I point out in the podcast, the reason is...
In this week’s podcast, I discuss the financialisation of markets and the extremely detrimental effects that this has had upon the real, productive economy. I go over some of the academic reasons offered up for the “crowding out” of the productive...
Our good friend and prolific Great Mondaydact Browser Buster contributor The Male Brain has written in with another one of his excellent guest posts. The inspiration for the post is to be found in a very interesting video about the coming intergenerational wealth...
Michael Shellenberger is a pretty well known name to us on the Hard Right by this point. He was, and in many ways remains, your typical Leftist Greenie – which is to say, he was a watermelon. Green on the outside, blood-red on the inside. He has been involved in...

First it was the Kung Flu, then it was a global economic shutdown, and now it appears that the Middle Kingdom has been hit with severe flooding: You wouldn’t know it if you were paying attention to what the never-to-be-sufficiently-cursed whorenalists of the...
In this week’s episode, I discuss and dismantle some of the myths surrounding the origins of the Great Depression, the ways in which it unfolded – from the idea that Herbert Hoover was some sort of “do-nothing President”, to the even sillier...
Looking over the highly alarmist reports from the whorenalists of the lying (((media))) these days is enough to give one fits of rage-induced vomiting. And in some cases it is doing precisely that. I spent at least an hour on the phone recently with a friend of mine...
In this week’s podcast I address a wide range of subjects, from the ridiculous and frankly overhyped estimates of Corona-chan’s mortality rate, to the dangers of taking epidemiological models too seriously, to the different ways in which societies have...
