I guess this is an explanation of why ADHD is a fairly common feature of human minds.

Very interesting

Debt jubilee will have its own issues. Debt slows money velocity; it holds inflation down. Without the debt, all the money we printed will be free to cause mass hyperinflation. All that money you were spending on your mortgage will instead go be spent on goods and services

Toufi is a criminal and should be indicted for fraud! We were supposed to be earning since last March…then September…stop lying to us you snake oil salesman. My biggest regret is investing in this scam. You got me, Toufi. You are pathetic and should not be allowed to run a lemonade stand.

Fantastic episode

To Brett’s point that Trump has defeated the duopoly is blind to the fact that he wants a totalitarian monopoly 🤷‍♂️

*Creationists lies about the Cambrian “Explosion”* Creationist claim a sudden emergence of life forms (with no ancestor life forms) during the Cambrian period. With this claim they assert “creation” of all life forms as they appear at the present day, thus asserting that no evolution took place or was required (only variations in “kinds” --- whatever “kinds” means). Placing the Cambrian period into perspective, we understand that this geological period lasted 52 million years (from 541 mya until 489.5 mya) and was preceded by the Ediacaran period, which lasted 39 million years. Again, hardly an eye blink. The Ediacaran Period was marked by considerable tectonic activity, including the end of the Pan-African episode-a long interval of mountain building, rifting, and reorganization spanning most of the Neoproterozoic Era. The Ediacaran Period produced some of the earliest known evidence of the evolution of multicellular animals (the metazoans). Metazoans required an increased oxygen levels (a large colony of metasoans were discovered in South Australia in 1946). The predominant Ediacara fauna in the fossil record is a group of unusual soft-bodied (invertebrate) forms that predated the Cambrian period. The life forms of the Ediacaran were direct ancestors of oncoming (evolved) forms of the Cambrian. Thus creationists tell lies. All Cambrian life forms had ancestors. The Cambrian period is divided into four series (epochs) (Terreneuvian, Miaolingian, Series 2 and Furongian). Each of these sub-periods has its own evolutionary history. The average temperature of 54 degrees rose to 72 degrees during the Cambrian; the increase in oxygen levels followed as well. The climate conditions helped to speed up the rate of evolution. The Precambrian-Cambrian biotic transition to the Cambrian, once thought to be sudden or abrupt, has been found to include a succession of events spread over many millions of years. It commenced with the appearance of the animal kingdom (i.e., multicelled organisms that ingest food At least three informal phases in the transition can be identified by progressively more diverse and complex. The earliest phase of late Precambrian age is characterized by fossils of soft-bodied animals known from many localities around the world. Based on fossils of animal embryos, it is thought that elements of the Ediacaran fauna appeared more than 600 million years ago. The fossils are predominantly the imprints of soft-bodied animals. The second phase of the Precambrian-Cambrian biotic transition is characterized by a marked increase in the diversity of its shelly fauna and a lack of trilobites. It is near the lowest stratigraphic occurrence of this fauna that the Precambrian-Cambrian boundary stratotype has been placed. Fossils of the second phase, which may be locally abundant, represent several new animal groups of Paleozoic aspect. Calcified archaeocyathans (extinct group of sponges thought to have helped construct the first reefs) diversified rapidly and were the first skeletal metazoans (multicellular animals with differentiated tissues) to develop a modular growth habit. The third phase of the Precambrian-Cambrian biotic transition commenced with the appearance of mineralized trilobite skeletons. The subsequent adaptive radiation of the trilobites was exceptional, and their remains dominate most the later Cambrian deposits. Here we need to note the fraudulent propaganda of Stephen Meyer and Jonathan Wells from the Discovery Institute (as advertised by the DI mouthpiece” “EvolutionNews”). This creationist nonsense conveniently uses the Cambrian period to declare that “all life forms had suddenly appeared fully created - not evolved”. This is just the claim of supernatural creation (religion) in disguise. The scientific evidence disputes and destroys the ID claim. Each living organism in the Cambrian (and also prior and post the Cambrian) descended (evolved) from other organisms within one of the sub-periods of the Cambrian or from the Edicaran period. Darwin and his genius laid the basic foundation for a common descent, and the last 160 years provided the vast amounts of evidence to support his discovery. A very details explanation of the Cambrian period is published by the National Academy of Sciences

Very inspiring. I'm gonna think more about how to include interesting into my life

Americans agree politics is broken − here are 5 ideas for fixing key problems Ismar Volic 11.22.1014 "The mechanisms of American democracy are broken at a fundamental level. Research shows that there are clear mathematical fixes for these malfunctions that would implement sound democratic practices supported by evidence." I found this article interesting. He might be a good interview.

This is brilliant!

Faith in humanity is a hard sell. Have faith in the unknown.

really a good one , just an suggestion when you get her back on the show ask her examples of how she developed that fluency like some examples of how would she have learned some concept , i would really love to get a peek into her mental model

Great conversation. Learned a lot..

Without a most simple worked example on a blackboard demonstrated on a simple molecule like ethanol , methane or pyruvate this theory is just theoretical nonsense. A new book published by Austin Macauley Publishers titled From Chemistry to Life on Earth outlines abiogenesis in great detail with a solution to the evolution of the genetic code and the ribosome as well as the cell in general using 290 references, 50 illustrations and several information tables with a proposed molecular natural selection formula with a worked example for ATP. Cheap as an e book.

I'm not letting Mark Zuckerberg have my data (I'm not using Facebook, Meta, or Instagram), but I hope Loribeth will get some better contact info online, right now even her website isn't up to date...perhaps AI could help with that aspect to start off, or maybe she will respond to this comment...we shall see. How did you contact her Jim?

You're doing a fantastic job! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

Monarchist assholes have no place anywhere, f this dipshit

I didn't knew what to expect because her book sounded like woo-woo self-help but I'm surprised

Jim is certainly undervalue in the podcast world

Cool Episode Jim and my favorite subjects as a metamodern gameB artist. I have a whole lot I could say about all this but I have a bit more radical outlook than Alex here. One thing I would say is about tools and time. Each tool we use, cameras, instruments and even AI etc, is always relevant to the culture it emerged from. It becomes a meme and a trend so to speak in a natural way, so we aren't ever separated from our relationship to any new tool used for artistic expression be it something complex and digital or something simple and handmade. That is in relationship with time and perceived talent relating to the audience and also the subject of audience capture. Different people learn differently for different reasons. One guy could be a slow mofo at learning guitar, but after decades he pretty dam good, however, hes VERY against the grain because he taught himself. On the other end a "master" may be classically taught with all the formal education and expensive tutors etc, and he's not unique. So there is where I reconcile Zak Stein type ideas like A time between worlds and metamodern ideas of overlapping patterns of novelty and tradition in culture. Alex mentioned the reproducing of film grain but in high resolution digitally. We're going fourth wall even in automation where the mimicking of the grain is getting mimicked too! Of course there are only so many iterations of that process until we come back to lower resolution equilibrium. So how does a punk rock type artist stay rocking with all this? I find the story and the dedication simply cannot be reproduced! I spent years dialing in my tone and its supposed to fucking rattle you! I also found myself in metamodern gameb and liminalweb circles naturally while looking for something new in the culture. It was easy enough to find, much like finding a new riff when one simply plays something different, if you cant find what your looking for look somewhere else. When the artist can make a way for themselves adjacent to gameA automation well see RenAIssænce.

Great episode, three things that come to mind are number one I had personally been thinking about moments of experience we call sacred and how I long had this felt sense of the liminal or certain reverence of experiential acknowledgement as sacred, mystical, or even god. Seeing the potential of perception in a child's eyes for example could be seen even in an objective way as sacred or mystical in nature due to the vast possibilities coupled with its immensely frail nature so the examples of the deer here fit right in though the way they were described in their relative, nature based meanings. Meaning in that way doesn't lose anything up and down scales of complexity but are holistic in potential for meaning hence the sacred in the mundane so to speak. I will have to catch up on Jordan Halls recent Jim Rutt talk as I've otherwise followed him close in his spiritual understanding. Now concerning our potential meaning crisis through technological dominance, the example Brendan gave here of the email with too many numbers I think is great. Couple that with the later descriptions of modern tech being incentivized to overwhelm us, and the tiktok world of constant separation from human nature and I think it spells out a existential meta meaning crisis itself, possibly beyond what we see. I'm thinking the bad outcomes framed by Tristan Harris and Zak Stein. Our felt sense now, of a conceptual "meaning crisis" that is actually not, could actually be but in places and ways that are set to be so overwhelmingly backwards we can only sense it sort of evolutionarily. He mentions inclinations to adhere to trauma, if a dog bite was obsessed over etc. Social media has become highly incentivized to only reward these receptors. Personalities and culture are starting to revolve around it. Future VR experiences or the horrific and thrilling will burn out senses like powerful drugs. Again pointing out the scenarios Tristan Harris describes, it leads exactly in the direction Jim and Brendan are saying is highly unlikely due to evolutionary intelligence. The thought being that an organism will realize its moving towards the direction of harm, in this case self harm that is almost exclusive to humans through their levels of awareness. However, coupled with the incentivized overwhelm of data they speak of, its a perfect storm for a new type of evolutionary emergence completely, an actual meaning crisis of directionless distraction recursively rewarded by the culture. The third part is that very evolutionary sensing. There's a mention of a sort of medium to sort the data. Human mediums of real value, coherence, and integrity of story. There can be nothing less than community of rational sensing of masses of data to ease the overwhelm and fight back against the system. I imagine even in spaces where AI is used to its utmost abilities, the human element of value navigation also has to be just as high. When it comes to the types of language that must be used, I had spoken before about the lack of proper language around protecting nature. The example I give is a story Tristan Harris told of earth species project where he pissed off a whale by saying the wrong words to it. He then described a place in the ocean that echo location is known for traveling vast distances naturally. This means that one foolish mistake of mistranslation could be catastrophic or cause significant damage to the eco system. So this is where our language is at now for navigating a potential meaning crisis of tiktok personalities becoming such the norm that language and meaning breaks down enough to effect things like voting, economics and ecology.

This Maloney quack is falsely accusing the Benedictine sisters of Erie Pennsylvania of voter fraud because he’s desperate to steal the swing county.

Very good point. I completely agree with whatever just being said here. TRUMP 2024

Nice. Listening.

Is it Cliff Maloney or Cliff Malarkey?

listening to these two talk about trump is like watching retards fuk....completely absurd.

sad to hear jim use the Lord's name in vain so cavalierly...terrible bet from a smart person.

And yet I keep getting texts from Kamala Harris wanting money from me but Trump leaves me the fuck alone which is what I want in the first place so say that again only this time mean it

why do young women want old fat stinky men?

Just now being introduced to Neil Gaiman's work and TV Show American Gods. That backdrop established, if psychotherapy is not represented as a "God" in that series i will be highly disappointed. Especially with her construction of '3+1' which feels very structured as a religious equivalence.

I've been a fan of Rutt in the past but it's kind of weird how his hill to fight from in this election is a status quo of pumping infinite money into a lost cause and ethnically cleansing a white male population, while rounding up the ones who disagree into death vans. It's not even clear this is hurting Russia geopolitically, and not the exact opposite.

Using the lord's name in vain is a very bad bet by this rut fella he should be smart enough to realize that.

rutt will vote for trump....he is smart enough to see his own fatal disease.

Thank you Bret.

Holy shit, the TDS displayed here is extraordinary.. Jim, you might wanna get that checked out.. its very bad for you

Trump is a disgrace. The fact he is anywhere near power is a damning indictment of the American people.

It'll be a travesty if Trump gets in.

The "purpose" of the nazi's was not "bad'. Was not "too do bad things". The purpose was more to give room for their group. To expand there group. Like the mindset of a mountain lion chasing a rabbit.

Good convo. I generally find both of these gentlemen very reasonable, but def on Bret's side in this case.

Watch the Live Fox Bret Baier interview with Harris that her staff short tonight. She is not ready for prime time.

Thanks Brett explained very well

Arrogance tends to be a barrier to change, challenge, growth, and understanding. Many people fall into this category. Your generalization of a group’s intelligence is sad. In your same breath you make a point about the indoctrination of college age kids? Seems that their IQ has not protected them! Also, in religion there is a very clear distinction between KNOWLEDGE vs. WISDOM. You sound knowledgeable but I haven’t heard wisdom yet.

Lol the trump and bush tax cuts didnt reduce revenue. Revenue literally increased

For me, there's one issue in this election (glossed over and dismissed in this episode) that supersedes all other issues: Respect for the election outcome. If you vote for Trump, who is busy climate setting for the sequel to 2020's Fake Electors Plot and Big Lie, you're voting to bring back the team who tried to not just weaken, but to nullify the entire institution of voting. Seriously, refresh yourself on the Fake Electors Plot before you vote. The one sentence summary is - Before Jan 6, in seven battleground states that Trump lost, Team Trump assembled their own slates of loyalist presidential electors in hopes of pressuring Pence to certify that Trump won them, or at least to create chaos that could be exploited.

Bret never fails to disappoint. What a dope.

This election cannot be diagnosed by thinking like an honest intellectual. The only way to predict this one is to think like an old school bookie or a corrupt lawyer. The problem is that conservatives tend to think with their hearts. Our hearts are either full of love and hope... or fear of tyranny and evil. We currently live in a manufactured reality scripted by deliberate lies. I realize, that every election, is a competition for control...of taxpayer money and standard of living American citizens are imposed with. This is the moment we protect our freedom or relinquish it. The populace has been intentionally dumbed down for this moment. I regret not doing more to educate people on this subject. I'm afraid for the future of our Republic for the first time in my life.
