It's already noon and I haven't found the time to listen.*
But wasn't it S. Adams that said the best way to provoke a good opinion is to post a bad one?

I gave my attention to Mr. Randall Carlson: Here Be Dragons but I'll have to cut it off at half-time.
So far -- the Cathedral building ended with the onset of the Little Ice Age. The shift from interglacial to glacial conditions happens over 3-5 years.

Scott is increasingly delivering partisan talking points as the end draws neigh. That means he's spending less energy pondering interesting topics.
That said, whatifalthis has a new one on the biggest modern lie.

I fell asleep to that one last night, How did it turn out?

edit:
I listened again at 1.5x, I guess I only missed the last tree or four minutes. I lost track of what the lie is again. Equality or Progress?
I am interested in Studies In Ancient Wisdom. Mainly Tartaria and antiquitech.

It certainly lacked the necessary repetition to drive home what The Lie is. I get why though, because it's complicated, requiring almost an hour of explanation (not to mention assumptions about baseline knowledge about many other things).
Equity is the authoritarian lie en vogue.
It does tie into a major premise of SA, that fairness is a fictional concept invented to give children and idiots something to argue about. *Callback to one of my favorite episodes where he takes me from strong disagreement to mild agreement. https://youtu.be/XEHHMIX9T4Q?t=992
The lie is that since we're blank slates, any unidentical outcome is the result of oppressive institutions. In the past, we'd take up our grievances of unfairness with God Almighty, but since god's dead, we complain to our omniscient and benevolent congressfolk.
I embellished some portion of that, but Rudyard (and SA) would approve.

Today he used a Dilbert cartoon for a thumbnail instead of his book, so I'm listening.

Episode 2613 t=3594
Quote:
...all right there was a big Rescue the
Republic event yesterday uh that looked like a big success in terms of turnout
and big big names speakers RFK Jr and telsey gabard and Jordan Peterson and on
and on and on it was quite a slate of stars but I don't know what it was trying to
accomplish uh but only because I don't know... so I'm a little underformed on the topic but if somebody
could let me know what was the objective of that I could tell you if I thought they met it ... so I don't know if it moved the needle but I don't know if that's what
it was supposed to do you know may maybe there was multiple variables involved so
let me know if you if you think that mov the needle in some way that I'm I'm missing...

Though I didn't follow the event, I assume the basic message is that if you want the best for humanity, don't be a pinko commie. Success then would be a measured decrease in anti-human communist sentiment.
I listened to Gad Saad today discuss behavior via an evolutionary lens.

Don't disagree regarding rescue the republic, do disagree on methodology used.

Scott pointed out that many trends in the US are indistinguishable from enemy attacks meant to undermine cohesion and weaken the nation to the point of subjugating it.
