Serious question, how hard would it be for a European to get that €900 a month to live without an address in san Francisco? I'd happily do that for a few months to be able to interview at tech companies there.
1:03:20 this is exactly the conclusion i drew from having a monarchy and parliament. On the surface it makes sense to be a republic where parliament is the top of the state but the benefit of having a monarchy that swears in the government makes it much harder for a coup
I’m capable of taking a step back a bit and look at abortion politically but I can’t let it go. My baby was murdered by its mother 17 years ago legally with no punishment. My middle ground is giving up the hope of any kind of justice for my dead baby in exchange for enforcing justice for any future babies murdered by their mothers. That issue doesn’t disappear politically by putting a time limit on women being able to murder their babies.
Never in the field of social media was so much utter crap spouted by so few to so many. I had to give up at the nonsense talked about global conflicts. It's the kind of balls I used to spout to my father when I was sixteen.
@@kreek22 With this said, do you believe that if a nation becomes a "liberal democracy" they will never become a monarchy or democracy? I define a liberal democracy in Polybius's terms as being an aristocracy in the beginning with an evolution to oligarchy. Do you believe this is a final state?
@@ilevakam316 When you have the types of surveillance/manipulation tools available to the ruling class today, historical parallels are tenuous. Propaganda can now be tailored to an increasingly individualized target, and it can be adaptive due to surveillance of response and AI interpretation tools. These factors are likely to entrench oligarchy. The real game is played within the oligarchy, competitive factionalism. But, this game is largely illegible to the public. Power becomes ever more cryptic to outsiders and the formal outlines of power ever more divorced from underlying reality.
@@kreek22 I do not believe that the general populace participates a great deal in regime or structural changes. It occurs from a faction of the ruling class battling the current faction in power (ie circulation of the elites). For instance, when Caesar challenged the oligarchy in Rome, he was acting as a member of a ruling faction, not as some champion of the general populace, although he was greatly adored by them. I also do not think technology changes human nature and the cycles that their behavior creates. They may speed up or slow down, amplify or temper certain processes but it's not eliminating them.

I will compromise on the implementation of a new tax or the construction of a new road. I refuse to compromise on the the clinical termination of a new human life preformed purely out of convince and made "necessary" due to a persons lack of self restraint and responsibility.

It is fundamentally against the most basal moral beliefs of myself and many other Americans, it is barley a step removed from the legalization of murder or rape in my eyes.
As a Brit, this was hard to watch but I pushed through because I wanted to hear the perspective of the man who was part of the inner circle where the lies of Brexit were cooked up and which is now responsible for the accelerated demise of the UK.
Your "guests" have been raping your daughters for 50 years, not just in Rotherham, but all over your land. The demise is achieved. The UK has no men left, only serfs and slaves and psychopaths.
Which would've been better chained to the EU and it's demise or independent and on the demise? I don't think the elites of the UK are really that different than their continental brethren.

Great show. Dominic is insightful about the US political scene.
was literally thinking "that better be Dominic Cummings or I can't sit through another one of these" and it WAS Dominic Cummings! 🤩
Fantastic episode. Wish Dan could of joined
Love that you got Dominic on the pod
really enjoyed hearing D. what a flashback.

Interview Based beff Jezos about his doxxing next plz

love you dudes
interesting guest and trivial questions

That's the horror of it. Very sad to hear that.
In the very ancient legal system of India, the Laws of Manu, abortion is the very worst of all crimes.
Clover Health care is a start in the right direction.
Why doesn't Dominic get off wi-fi and run a cable between his computer and his router?
Then he wouldn't keep cutting out all the time.
52:50 Celebrating the centre-ground!
Centre ground is so thick.
Dominic's sound is terrible

Erik seems to know that Dominic is a lot smarter than he is and just lets him talk. Antonio still thinks he has something add.
Antonie needs to let his guests speak!!!!
Dominic is a dumb person's idea of a smart person
What are your thoughts on cyclical history or Polybius's anacyclosis?
Humans are pattern matchers. Some pattern matching is too ambitious, including these.

My burning question is why DC is wearing an Alabama cap? Or is he repping the Atlanta Braves? So many questions, so little time...
Think it's Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Maybe pro-DeSantis...
Spy Magazine came up with the "Short fingered vulgarian" line
28:30 - mistake vs conflict theory @Erik
The Vigilance Society Party…this has historic roots , twice in San Francisco ..look it up
Awesome! Really miss Dan's insights
Why is he wearing a Tampa bay Buccaneers cap? haha

Advanced atheistic decay and geopolitical impotence.

Dude, settle down. Just move past them in the video. It takes 2 seconds.
very nieve take on politics.... read machiavelli... it doesn't work how you think it does...
Dominic Cummings is Machiavelli.
Dominic had to really reach to find a weak reason to keep the monarchy.
Just research the political stability and economic success of constitutional monarchies over republics. It's not a weak reason in the slightest.
Listen again, slowly. Put aside your bias for a second.
