Black Rock is one of those companies that somehow isn't well known despite being the closest thing to a shadow government. Great that you guys talked about it
Really impressed with your mentioning of Blackrock. Not many people have heard of it (which is no accident) so I’m glad you’re sharing this with an audience that probably hasn’t either.
ShoeOnHead talked about it in one of her episodes of Hell World, which is where I first heard about them. But that was just in reference to how much of the housing market they own. To learn it goes even deeper and that they are responsible to some degree for the rampant censorship and linguistic gentrification of social media and beyond was pure nightmare fuel
Plenty people have heard about it, lol. But it has mostly been leftists talking about them buying up immense amounts of real estate a couple years ago in order to bring in a permanent renters economy. It's starting to reach the apolitical/moderates.
I love this podcast! Everyone here has such great chemistry. Nerd is the smart guy Dolan adds context to stories Pyro is the comedy release And Clown is the asshole cynical foil to pyro
The world is a scary place full of dark and sinister schemes and who better to showcase and explain this than the clown, the nerd, the duck and the degenerate. Great talk today!
Best episode yet. So basically let Nerd lead the podcast, sprinkle in a couple of video game or furry references to keep pyro happy and we're golden. Also let clown express himself and insult a bunch of people or things he doesn't like (which is also highly entertaining). Jay maybe says the least but is usually on point and very effective. Anyways, this was great.
One thing I'd like to get off my chest real quick would be that companies and CEOs that are "progressive" during pride month have no issue turning around and funding politicians that directly oppose LGBT existence so long as it boosts their profits. Its easy to laugh at something like extreme political correctness as being ridiculous because it is, but the underlying reason why performative wokeness exists is that it draws attention away from the actions of corporations who exploit their workers. A good example would be like when Nike partnered with Colin Kaepernick against police brutality, their sales went up because it gave them a lot of free advertising when racist boomers started burning their shoes. But when actual progressives took action against Nike's use of sweatshops through labor law investigations, corporate lawyered up hard because they will do anything possible to protect their profits.

No joke I barely listen to podcasts but you guys are genuinely fun to listen to so I found myself nearly at the end without meaning to listen for more than a few minutes. Very gamer.
Man the blackrock convo is scary af though, I was talking to an alumni from my college who works for them. He mentioned the Alladin system which he utilizes in his work but I had no idea it went that deep. Insane stuff.
The whole "woke" cry-out is billionaires pushing both sides against each other over meaningless things while they get richer and richer. Koch brothers and some christian billionaires fund the other side, no surprise to anyone Blackrock and Koch do business together :D
so glad you guys talked about BlackRock. Found out about this shit ages ago but besides the odd youtube video no one with an especially big platform covers it
Finally someone with some nuance. I love how Nerd talked about Blackrock and the sharp increase in rainbow capitalism without going into a dumb Steven Crowder like rant.
@Crossfire Crowder is so based I love when he dresses like a racial caricature while his yes men fake laugh and try to make funny jokes about it, or his incredible work when he dresses like a woman and goes to the gym to be annoying and get purposefully kicked out to expose trans people or something.
As a person who only watches a couple of nerds videos. The main reason I watch and enjoy this podcast is how you guys handle subjects. Its not some quick this is what ive heard thing. You go over the topic and discuss it top to bottom which is real nice to listen to.
Yeahh, and if they do have a shallow understanding they at least present their own interpretation of it with a rationale vs "that's crazy bro" , marvel punchline and scene
Please don't stop making these episodes, they're quite literally the best podcast content out there right now. I've never been so interested in a podcast like TBH.
The biggest thing with ESG is a lot of it is how you message your company not actual change. For example companies can lose ESG score by not having slave workers in 3rd world countries but can gain score for saying they will do that.
This is my first time watching the podcast, 10 minutes in and it's a wild experience being validated on this. We are definitely in an oligarchy within decapitalism, at least in America. They can make profit without needing people to buy their products because they'll just raise all prices on all goods and services (so you have no other choice), but not increase wages, so you're stuck in a difficult financial situation you cannot get out of. Then you have no time, money, or energy to enjoy your life or more importantly, take civil action like participating in a general strike or mutual aid.
I don't know how to feel about this ya know. Im a bit a lefty and I do agree with some stuff but 1) banning some words like blacklist or brainstorm is very ridiculous and 2) It is very scary that some shadowy company has so much damn influence over the world.
I don’t think it matters what side of the isle you are on. Is it okay for individuals to use their ill-gotten power to manipulate society for their own purposes just because they claim to be socially leftist authoritarian capitalists?
If the fact that they're (disingenuously) pushing left agenda and that's ENOUGH for you to even have a tiny bit of doubt that a giant shadow company controlling culture to such a degree is a bad thing, you need to rethink your life. You're their exact target demographic that's enabling all of this.
It's because this is dog-whistling; they're not giving it to you straight. Nerd, as many commenters have identified and agreed with, is trying to point to a shadowy-cabal of left-leaning particularly Jewish people running the world and using their undeserved power to manipulate the masses and corrupt society. I hope that sounds familiar to you, because if it doesn't I'd recommend rereading certain kinds of propaganda from WW2.
Nerd City brings the facts and a "good-member-of-society" perspective. Pyrocynical brings the comedy, but also a Zoomer perspective towards what's presented (not a bad thing, just a distinct perspective). Colossal Is Crazy brings logic, as well as a more cynical, practical perspective. Dolan Dark brings a duck head, but also some good questions, approaches to opinions from unique angles , and the rare-but-amazing jokes.
I honestly love how all the personalities clash together and it just seems like everyone involved is having fun. I do wish the Colossal would let my family out of his labyrinth tho, I miss them
The funny thing is when you realize blackrock is actually having one of the most powerful machine learning implementation while it being that not complicated. It’s actually only about the kind of data they have, not even how much of it 😅 being insider truly helped
"blackrock doesn't only do it for pandering and profit, but for other sinister reasons" **Proceeds to keep describing a corporation pandering for profit like every other corporation do and has done for the last 200 years while thinking an CEO's personal letter for the public is real and sincere**
24:35 Luckily Hollow Knight isn't like that, Pyro. Getting to 112% in Hollow Knight is a majestic experience all the way through. The worst thing you're going to feel is frustration from how difficult the final few challenges are, that's it. It's 100% worth playing through, easily the most polished and artistically beautiful metroidvania of all time.
I watched that H3 episode and I found it weird also that he was capitulating to those 3, especially Mike. Even though in the moment it seemed nice and fuzzy I couldn't help but think how Mike is such a scammer and never was cleared of anything. You can say that the other 2 did dodgy things in the past and have already faced consequences but Mike still hasn't been pinned on anything and is still doing it. I think Ethan being a dad now is a factor in him softening up a bit
In response to something the clow said at the 24 minute mark, "You didnt have to do all the menial little stuff and waste your time", I would say that it speaks about creative integrity. Something I've noticed about Pyro in his most recent stage of longform essays on the main channel is that he seems less about creating a review or thesis about the game he plays, its more of an extremely thorough report on the techniques, themes and content available. Of in analysing art you must be subjective, but pyro seems to have his sights set on being as thorough and objective as possible. Because everyone has different experiences with games if you want to create an accounting of it you have to remove as much subjectivity as possible, and some of that is experiencing literally everything that a subjective view could be based upon. Also why play games if not 2 waste time
Just to be clear, it’s not a left leaning stance. It’s a socially woke, socially progressive, etc. stance. A left leaning stance would be one which doesn’t encourage corporate power, & promotes helping workers, universal healthcare, etc. the reason I’m being specific about this is because the only political group that actually indicates their desire to remove corporate control of society, are people on the left. Not corporate democrats like Hillary or Biden, but people on the actual left. Even if Bernie was too radical that was his goal. I know a lot of conservatives are concerned about it too, but the problem is there are no conservative political figures who ACTUALLY want to get rid of corporate control. Ron DeSantis just does things to pander to his audience meanwhile he increases corporate power and lowers their taxes.
I'm the same age as Pyro and also went to school in the UK. I distinctly remember my secondary school also saying this, because I was in an art and design class at the time, and instead of being told to 'brainstorm' our next project proposals we had to 'thought shower' them. My art teacher was exasperated to be fair, and said something like "just make a fkn mind map or some shit, idc." But yeah. She couldn't explain to us why exactly she'd been told to do this, like the logic was convoluted to her too, so she said it was something to do with 'brainstorm' being too aggressive or negative, and 'thought shower' was more approachable?? 🙃
@@RealElongatedMuskrat i'm a few years younger than you and pyro, uk too, and the word "brainstorm" was absolutely fine when i was in school. maybe it's something they rolled back on? i've never heard of it being offensive in my life, i doubt this is an actual thing people are pushing.
Brainstorm has been debated to be offensive since as early as 2000 in the UK. However, it cb be inferred that there isn't any officiall rule or collective agreement across the UK In other words, it really depends on who you're talking to
@@Fanrose2475 that explains why certain schools seem to have taken one stance over the other. Funny enough now that you mention that, I don't think my sisters secondary school ever had this switch, and we were in high school at the same time. So must've been a case by case basis for schools.
Come and See was quite well known in academic and cinefile circles. Was in the UK Top 100 Most Upsetting Moments in Film and TV. Concerning Ethan, Jeff has burned bridges and rightfully so thanks Ethan for lighting the match. Tana had no real beef with him for years. Mike may be guilty but he sure played the innocent card. Was not sure if I liked him
"Blackrock is the most successful hedge fund they were hired by the federal reserve to break up the banks during the financial crisis and they used their insider knowledge to profit as they were doing it. AND they were somewhat responsible for causing that crisis in the first place" "the guy that owns the company, Larry, what was his name again?" "Larry Fink" >early life and education:

@@RealElongatedMuskrat i'm a few years younger than you and pyro, uk too, and the word "brainstorm" was absolutely fine when i was in school. maybe it's something they rolled back on? i've never heard of it being offensive in my life, i doubt this is an actual thing people are pushing.
@@mayathepsychiic same, heard it many times in english class
Brainstorm has been debated to be offensive since as early as 2000 in the UK. However, it cb be inferred that there isn't any officiall rule or collective agreement across the UK
In other words, it really depends on who you're talking to
@@Fanrose2475 that explains why certain schools seem to have taken one stance over the other. Funny enough now that you mention that, I don't think my sisters secondary school ever had this switch, and we were in high school at the same time. So must've been a case by case basis for schools.
Truly dystopian how a company I have never heard of is influencing everything around me
I love men, but you guys are my favourites.
Please don't misgender pyro; we actually don't know what he is though.

Come and See was quite well known in academic and cinefile circles. Was in the UK Top 100 Most Upsetting Moments in Film and TV.
Concerning Ethan, Jeff has burned bridges and rightfully so thanks Ethan for lighting the match. Tana had no real beef with him for years. Mike may be guilty but he sure played the innocent card. Was not sure if I liked him
"Blackrock is the most successful hedge fund they were hired by the federal reserve to break up the banks during the financial crisis and they used their insider knowledge to profit as they were doing it. AND they were somewhat responsible for causing that crisis in the first place"
"the guy that owns the company, Larry, what was his name again?"
"Larry Fink"

I am so fucking glad people are starting to realize and connect the dots no one wants to talk about, they're disproportionately represented in places that do evil shit ALL THE TIME

Every time pyro flames clown and uses his real name I feel personally attacked
Best episode so far, the drama talk is a lot of fun.
Best episode so far, thank you for speaking out yall!
14:16 The future is now old man
Absolutely smashing it, lads. Top quality!
Flipping Kingom O'Magic!
I was so disappointed that no one discussed that game on clown's video.
And now again... now one played it, or is nostalgic for it. It was aazing ok! Was about the first time I saw 3D characters having dialogue!
This is definitely one of the most episodes of this podcast
This is in my top five episodes of all time
The fact is that those ESG scores are just a poor excuse to look good to the morons while creating those boundaries to rule them without them noticing it and even being happy about it .
Only channel I’ve ever had notifications for
loving this podcast already, reminds me of mid 2010s youtube
Hwut
im suprised at what pyro said about the brainstorm cause my school still uses words like that
Filthy Frank killed himself when he decided to do music instead of bizarre videos
17:30: you just explained the music industry in a nutshell. Specifically edm/dubstep scene. People love underground artists until they get discovered by the masses. Then all of a sudden it's a meme to like that artist if you are in the underground culture
Ture because Once it become mainstream it become shit.
cool intro i really like how much effort you guys put into it even though it's not really going anywhere lol
Can you kill pyro with a rock
Specifically a black one
yes
33:01 Always great to see someone else who likes SADWORLD's aesthetic
It all began here (I think)
Saying a jewish company has too much power is a bold move on youtube.
Its a bold move anywhere
colossal is going bald (because he old)
It's a bold move literally everywhere
Oy vey
Nothing new here. It's been here since ancient times. You american are ignorant.
challenge, take a shot every time pyro says cruelty squad
BlackRock now called Rock
Hearing Pyro talk about Cruelty Squad wants me to watch him cover Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator.
