His point is that if someone's offering a carrot to do something, you might question if the carrot is worth it.

I haven't watched whichever [kitty-p*orn thumbnailed] episode, but I saw the 4 minute excerpt about the 30% chance.

I'll post this here because IIRC redpoint5 (hereinafter you) said you didn't know who Carl Benjamin is. I find this post of his to be extremely important.
Makes me want a text reader that color codes a Germanic-Italianate axis.
The Churchill quote.
Orwell in Shooting An Elephant -- "When you wear a mask, your face grows to fit it".
"Anti-Latinate Aktion" is an example in itself. You wouldn't have noticed 'action'.

Maybe I'm the only one still listening?
Apparently, he missed podcasting yesterday and is losing control of the left side of his mouth. (Why is t always the left side?}
Anyway, at t=32:22 he talks about food delivery through a line of conflict. This sounds to me like an opportunity for a 'Berlin airlift-style' drone delivery system.
Chocolate bars on little parachutes.

I've been mostly offline the past week, but have kept up with the daily shows. Was sad seeing he missed a show due to unmanageable pain, which I think the number of missed shows over the last decade can be counted on 1 hand. Then his dog died the same day.
