Hot Take: Sam Harris is Not Intelligent 22:44

for 2 years siden22:44

22:44

I recently watched an episode of Part of the Problem, With Dave Smith, and it was them criticizing a recent interview with Sam Harris. During this episode Dave says that Sam is a smart guy, but I'd disagree. Sam is knowledgeable in the very particular fields that he's studied, but I don't consider knowledge to be a sign of intelligence, it's a sign of memorization. On the other hand I've observed Sam fail to apply logical thinking, which I would consider to be a mark of intelligence, as it demonstrates an ability to consume information and process it critically and rationally.…

Banished From the Hero's Party ep.4 - Public vs Private Services, Healthcare, Subjective Value, and Voluntary Exchange 30:05

for 3 years siden30:05

30:05

In this episode I go over episode 4 of Banished From the Hero's Party, discussing topics such as Public vs Private services, the misallocation of resources in public services, examples of how public services fail, particularly in American Healthcare, which is anything but a private, free market, capitalistic market, subjective value, and voluntary exchange.…

Elaboration on Exploitation of Labor 10:37

for 3 years siden10:37

10:37

One of the earliest episodes of this show I made was explaining why I think the claim that employers exploit labor is unjustified, and I used Konosuba as a springboard for that conversation. Today I saw a meme that seemed to share the views I was attempting to express in that episode, but naturally as a meme I felt it didn't explain well enough, so I wrote up an explanation that I thought I'd share here to further elaborate, and better articulate, what I was trying to communicate in that episode.…

Banished from the Hero's Party Ep 2 - Economics, Military, and Politics 44:38

for 3 years siden44:38

44:38

Continuing with the commentary on the anime "Banished From the Hero's Party". This episode was the one that originally made me decide I wanted to comment on this show, specifically because of the economic fallacies within, but upon re-watching it also had a lot to offer in terms of military strategy and politics.…

Spy x Family & Bullying 22:06

I saw this meme a couple weeks back, among the many memes about Anya punching Damian, and subsequently apologizing, which got me thinking a bit about bullying and public schools.

Inflation vs Corporate Greed 12:09

for 3 years siden12:09

Discussion of how basic understanding of supply, demand, equilibrium, surplus, and shortages indicate that current increases in prices are due to inflation and not corporate greed.

Timcast IRL, Journalism, and How the State Preserves Itself 18:56

for 3 years siden18:56

18:56

In yesterday's episode of Timcast IRL, he had James O'Keefe, Andy Ngo, and Libby Emmons on to discuss the state of journalism, and it was a very interesting conversation. In this episode, I wanted to reach the chapter from Murray Rothbard's "Anatomy of the State" titled "How the State Preserves Itself" because I felt it was particularly relevant to that conversation.

MS Activision/Blizzard Acquisition 28:28

for 3 years siden28:28

28:28

With the news of Microsoft acquiring (or offering to buy, I'm entirely clear on the deal) Activision/Blizzard, I thought I'd talk a little about the economics of corporate mergers and acquisitions. In this episode I'm reading from an article published in FEE.org by Peter G. Klein. https://fee.org/articles/mergers-and-acquisitions-why-greed-is-good/…

Semantics of Capitalism, and Ancap Responses to "Slave Wages" 54:35

for 4 years siden54:35

54:35

I've been watching a lot of debate and commentary on debates of Socialism vs Capitalism lately, and I wanted to talk about the issue of debaters getting hung up on their conflicting definitions of capitalism, and how capitalists can resolve the disagreement. Also, I saw a claim that the Ancap argument for "Slave Wages" is that "Somebody else will do it if I don't, so it might as well be me." That, in my opinion, is a very poor assessment of the Ancap position, or if not, then those saying it aren't properly articulating an accurate capitalist position on the issue of "Slave Wages".…

Ubisoft, For Honor & Profit Margins 36:18

for 4 years siden36:18

36:18

I had a bit of a discussion with my friend as to whether Ubisoft might be buffing the newly released character in For Honor, Kyoshin, in order to raise sales, because if not enough people buy the character, it may have costed more to make him than they earned in sales. My friend insisted that's impossible, so I thought I'd take a look at the Income Statement for Ubisoft to is if that's true.…

Cost Theory and Prices/Public Education 23:33

for 4 years siden23:33

23:33

In this episode I wanted to address the common belief that increased costs cause higher prices, which isn't entirely accurate, though it can, depending upon market forces, be the case. I also wanted to talk a little bit about public education, and the belief that we need to pay teachers more, which I may address further some other time.…

Currency and Misconceptions About the Civil War 26:13

26:13

In this episode I wanted to address some ways in which I disagree with Tim Pool's assessment that bullets, rather than gold, would be used as currency in a post-apocalyptic scenario, and the misconception articulated by Carl Benjamin (aka Sargon of Akkad) that the Civil War was fought to end slavery.…
