lex freidman probes scientology theory

The core idea of Scientology

24601

his best podcast in a while. one always wonders about the underlying myths and lex handles them objectively.

Todd's Sure Thangs 10/10

sure but was it lex or did his underlying thetan have a hand in this

hoqwer

Really can’t stand Lex. He contributes nothing to any discussion whilst giving the impression of being deep and probing.

he would be a dildo then ?? XD

All of the vikings episodes are eye openers and his radio announcer style works great with all the action.

Cornel West on Talk Easy

A sample from the golden toungue: "Maturity is not tied to chronology at all it’s tied with the struggle and wrestling with struggling and transfiguring of suffering into forms of creativity as one struggles and stays in high quality motion and movement”

Gladwell's Revisionist History

https://www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/revisionist-history/the-big-man-cant-shoot

Malcolm Gladwell brings an analytical yet charming perspective on things we misunderstand. This episode is about shootting free throws in the NBA.

1st few seasons are money in the bank, after that he phones it in

I feel similar. The first few seasons were really compelling. It becomes a bit more formulaic in later seasons but it’s still an interesting listen.

The best Gladwell is the varieties of spaghetti sauce explanation, right? In fact I'm scampering off to TED to watch that while having my last Cali shake bif of the night. Thanks for the inspiration!

I love it. Michael Malice, Max Tegmark, Josh Barnett, Eric Weinstein recommended eps

tomatoalec

I’ve just given it a try. Listened to the Noam Chomsky episode, really interesting and well considered points but the conclusion did depress the living shit out of me!

I will definitely dip in for more episodes though.

tomatoalec

I’ve been through a few more and have really enjoyed them. Thanks for the recommendation!

his cringiest ever

theStrokes

dumbing down intellectually and emotionally, had way more respect for both of them before this.

Father_Jack

Liked some of his early ones but cannot stand him trying to crowbar a reference to Musk and Rogan into every episode. His praise for Putin, both siderism over Ukraine, and the Ye episode sealed his fate as a cretin in my eyes.

tomatoalec

I agree, I liked some episodes but the more I listened I found the less I enjoyed it.
