“There have been some really wonderful guests on this podcast throughout the years (and plenty of ones I have skipped past), but I am finding myself increasingly annoyed with Gordon’s sense of entitlement + condescension/narcissism which has become clearer and clearer to me with each episode I listen to.
The real kicker for me was the latest astrology forecast episode featuring an ever-patient Austin Coppock. First, after Austin describes his traumatic year of having a family member murdered, and Gordon doesn’t even whisper an “I’m sorry to hear that” in response before quipping about his comparably great trauma of having had …an annoying vacation?
Then, when they are discussing the possible nightmare scenarious that the age of aquarius might ring in (a few things I can think of: more worldwide genocides, climate catastrophe, nuclear war, increased famine, etc), Gordon keeps bringing up “digital passports” as being the most oppressive thing he can think of.
To me, it really showed what a place of privilege (and self-absorption?) he is coming from!”
