They are both slow talkers with long pauses, because they are thoughtful. So it sounds like they are done making a point, and then the other one feels the need to say something, and then the first one starts speaking again.
@@derek4412 that's how civilized discussions happen, now contrast it to stupidity that happens in the circus that is the elections. it almost makes the technocracy that's coming seems like justifiable, those are baboons, let the AI machines run the thing already
@@derek4412the person who's speaking gets the dopamine dump. Therefore it's difficult to listen to someone else because you're waiting to get your dopamine dump. That being said it is difficult to not talk over someone especially when you're not in person.
thanks guys, this was really interesting and fun to listen to. I commented on your last convo that the turn-taking and sharing of conversational threads was way off, this time you guys held something that felt much more contiguous, and it's appreciated. Samo's a jedi. Rudyard is a samurai.
54:00 a few years ago, someone observed that our civilizational capacity to do things- almost everything- peaked in the 1960s and early 1970s, and has steadily declined since then. With no end in sight.
If anything, Colombia is a Cargo Cult, is an occidentaloid country. We adopted forms, customs and rituals that we do not understand or know where they come from. We only had one military junta after the second dictator Gr. Gustavo Rojas Pinilla (the first was Simon Bolivar).
Great conversation. But I will push back on the Baltimore bridge getting rebuilt. They close to awarding the design contract. It should be completed in about 3 to 5 years definitely under the 10 years mentioned on this podcast
Our ppeak intelligence was around 1890, by several measure but think number of geniuses is the easiest to see. Think Dutton has covered several factors if his At Our Witts End.
@RudyardLynch It is known from genetics now that the Americas were settled from Beringia, but also from Polynesia, and that the settlers from Beringia were basically the same people now living in East Asia/Siberia. The cultural influences were limited since culture -20k years ago was not so developed e.g. no writing yet. When Islam lost primacy it was not due to foreign invasions and corruption which was the case of Rome. Islam, like feudal China and ancient Greece lost (to a lesser extent) lost primacy due to intentional stagnation: all those innovaters are threats to the regime! They must be suppressed to maintain social stability! This has held back human progress by at least 3000 years so far.
The Empire or the world, Long divided must unite; Long united must divide - From the first line of Romance of the Three Kingdoms probably new Jewish mantra to instigate a WW3
The thesis that latin America is the Roman Empire 2.0 is true, but is not original. It was established by Spanish authors like Donoso Cortés, Vazquez de Mella, Ramiro de Maeztu or more recently Marcelo Gullo. You guys really need to get in to the Spanish authors, your view of the hispanic world is heavily tainted by the black legend.
Does not matter. From Soho to New Jersy, the delta t, is chlorination. Just need selection or the lack there of, to manipulation dominance and sub of the general population. If only the compliant can reproduce the ergodic push is toward compliance.
Excellent debate guys.Liked the use of hands to illustrate loss of intellect, by Samo. Reminded me of the time Maggie Thatcher used this to differentiate with socialists in the House of Commons. Effective.....
Rudyard should move to Sanfran and they should make this an in loco show with a nice studio and receive week guests, which should be high IQ intellectuals they admire. I suggest Mark Adressen, a fan of Rudyard, for the first guest! Also don't forget to check Samo's Live Players ch, he up these shows there too! Really great stuff.
during the Roman republic the Sahara was not yet desert. Desertification of the Sahara follows a circa 12k year cycle. It goes from lush to desert thanks to the stellar weather, really, which is both amazing and terrifying.
Although they are opposite to the Sagas they are not the same peoples, the famous warriors of those stories are not related to the masses much like a caste diffence. The Scandinavian today is a servant like person but the Viking was never the population only an extreme and small group.
Im convinced we in the Usa are in a sociocultural moment closest to the year 224 AD NOT 50 BC. The republic fell long ago in the 1930s. We just don’t realize or admit it. The Romans pretended that the republic still existed well into the 3rd century, formally until emperor Diocletian in 285.
That is to say that the Republic was better than the empire, which it wasn't. Diocletian was a solidifying of the despotic faction in the ruling dynasties not actually an emperor at all but an overlord.
We are nowhere near the decadence of the empire since at least half of the public is opposed to the degeneracy of today. By the end of the empire people kind of just gave up and caved into their carnal desires since nothing mattered. People today on both the left and right are still very passionate about how to steer the future of the nation.
Here's your zazen: This is painful. See, I love Rudyard. It's not Samo's politics. He needs to improve as a narrator. Basically he comes across as a know-it-all, Backpfeifengesicht. I'm really sorry to say this but he's tough to listen too and also tough to look at. I suspect he is not in fact smarmy, but since he seems to wish to be a public intellectual he needs to understand: lots of the public don't like intellectuals, not because of feelings of inferiority but for the above reasons: talking down to the audience. Basically he's too soft spoken. Most people who throw around words like buddha/buddhism/zen don't really know those topics. 伸道如此.
I think you guys sometimes overthink the globalism in the past. The evolution of societies as we see it in Europe (the most visible part of Europe with decent historical records) was different polises allying themselves together and forming nations, with the strongest polis becoming a capital. And even this step was made incredibly late, as late as XVIII century (France becoming the first centralized nation; and even the French had to spend some century+ after that to even develop a single language for everyone). There simply was no and could be no "global system" or "global civilization" before that. Only after the establishment of American hegemony (1945) globalism became a thing. With a lot of entirely new "nations" being just arbitrarily introduced everywhere as a result of decolonization and post-war agreements (which obviously created big problems in places like Africa and Middle East, but not only). Continuing this logic, the next step (after nation-state) would be something bigger, and we do see an example right before us: the EU. This is the first example of the next big political thing after nationalism: regional blocks or macroregions. Basically anyone with around 0.5-2 billion population can become a macroregion. Only after this stage of development is over (sometime in 2100s, i.e. around the moment of populational decline absolutely everywhere) we can start talking about a single world government and some sort of "world empire". Meanwhile, until we are there, one macroregion (such as NA or China, for example) being in severe crisis/catastrophic downfall doesn't mean a whole lot for the others.
I've reached the conclusion that neither man is interrupting the other; they just REALLY need to be having this convo face-to-face.

Please make a podcast together where you guys speak like this regularly
Rudyard and Samo is the perfect combination.
Their autism compliment each other perfectly
Their autism compliment each other perfectly
Double that
The perfect ratio of schizo and autism
I love this pairing. Thank you for stimulating my mind.
*Alright, Rudyard. I was never a fan, but these conversations are fascinating. New subscriber!*
Why is the symbol of "Moment of Zen" three dookies piled together?
Shit is calming
@@FazeParticles 🤣🤣🤣
Rudyard is the man 🍻🍻🙏🏼
Hes all talk
54:45 because they have a secret space program that is far more advanced than the public tech
Some people, too 20%, have gotten better economically but not 80% of us.
Agreed. It's never been better for the upper middle class and upper classes. Problem is, that isn't the best course for the US.
@@jfkst1 exactly. It’s strangling the economy and collapsing the society.
I like this Samo guy, even though I initially didn't want to like him. He's a pure 'Spergertist.
He has a cool name from history

This was great, these guys definitely need to do these semi-regularly
A true powerduo
If I had a $ for every time Rudyard begins with “one of the things I…” 😜
What a way to end the covo 😂 fuuuuuck lol
Thank you for this wonderful video.
This is a great combo. I how we will still get history102 segments.
Who else read it - long nipples of history?
New to both of you guys, i really enjoyed it :)
its the end of the world as we know it, and i feel fine...
I literally wanted to make my next video about this.
This needs to be a weekly podcast.
slaves were the first kind of AI
Love it, look forward to the next one
These two need a whole show together
The host interrupts too much.
Fascinating convo 👏
Time to make this a series

@Carl2988carl , does he have monkey pox yet?
this is a match made in heaven , you should dumb erick and just keep doing episodes with samo
That would be favourable, but he is there to make sure they both get paid

pseudo historians at best, i doubt either of you had actually made real research on the field or went through archives
You're not going to recommend reading Adolf Hitler? Why? Afraid of something?
Because it is extremely boring.
@@pioterosiemdziesiat I'm not convinced he said that because he was concerned about it wasting our time, actually.
@@TheTastefulThicknessit is boring and just plain stupid. Not worth the effort.
Probably because Hitler was no Aristotle not because he’s concerned about you becoming the next fuhrer
@@rafalrocks Yeah...I'm sure he doesn't want anyone reading Hitler because he's not Aristotle. That's the reason.
