When the pandemic started, I really enjoyed the podcast. They seemed to have some good insights, and I found them funny. It was a vibe that I sorely missed being home alone.

If one them sees this, I hope they take it kindly. The podcast has gone downhill drastically. The level of discourse has dropped considerably. They make all sorts of claims with very little evidence.

Recently they have all agreed that voter ID laws "just make sense." But they don't even bring up any of the unpleasant history around IDs.

When DeSantis was running, they didn't ever talk about him flying immigrant around as a horrible political stunt.

They've been leaning closer and closer to anti vax stances.

I still listen.. but I'll probably stop soon. It's becoming a bro podcast.

David Friedberg has the best mind for evidence, and he speaks less and less.

If we could get a Dave Friedberg spinoff that would be a big win. The exposed ignorance during the whole nuclear plant debate was so incredibly frustrating. I can think of 4 plants within 100 miles of where I live on Chicago and Sacks wouldn't DARE live within 200 miles of a newer safer smaller model. And chamath doesn't understand the difference between fusion and fission.
