Awesome

I feel like Ryan and James and I have been friends for a long time, they’re relatable and hilarious. I hope they do an episode on Andrew Tate!

Tread carefully gentlemen

I just listened to the Gypsy Rose podcast. I truly enjoyed the hosts banter. But I don’t think I’ll listen to anymore. Please be careful when you are talking about neurodivergence. Autistic people are not prone to becoming murderers, in fact they have a much higher chance of becoming victims of abuse rather than being victimizers. Every time the statement “he had high functioning autism” was said it made me literally cringe. High functioning autistic people consistently chose not to share their diagnosis' with many people in their lives because of thinking like yours and that is a true shame. Please tread carefully when discussing topics like this, misinformation shapes societal views.

The danger realm

Ah, the bold illogic of 'morality'-peacocking youth. Apparently, the best demo for the ultra-obligatory brain tattoo that the sexes and all races are equal is to denigrate men and whites as inferior, being sure to never let up from this preposterous fallacy: We are so equal that we're NOT equal.

Methinks Shakespeare had a good sniffer for the psychology of dramatically over-egging the pudding. This podcast would be better named "The Manifestation of 'Industrial Society and Its Future'", for the writer of that paper noted that the reason certain 'morality' priests cannot bear others reacting naturally to their own observations and preferences is that the priests subconsciously believe that the sex and races they so vociferously 'defend' are, against incessant trumpeting, inferior.

Thus the twisting, sometimes within a minute's span, into the reverse of their dogma's just-purported foundation of egalitarianism, now become rabid inequality. It is not enough to let people treat others rationally; the priests must disparage select groups, apparently under the secret premise that these groups are preternaturally able to withstand such treatment, and thus stronger than the superior — which even the dullest observer might suspect heads into the land of perpetual inversion, AKA 'That's What People Do'.
