In this week’s episode, we discuss the Supreme Court’s decision in Biden v Missouri, and its implications for free speech and censorship; the presidential debate that will exclude Kennedy; and the release of Julian Assange—all possible tactics to control public conversation. Also: what does an AI deep fake of Dave Chappelle suggest about the future of comedy, and the role of humor in human interactions? Finally: a meandering tale of cars, border guards, and leaping water vipers, culminating in discussion of new research out of Madagascar on jumping leeches.

Title: Failure to Launch
Subtitle: The end of playbooks
Have you ever seen the episode of The Simpsons where Homer Simpson becomes a boxer? Moe discovers that Homer has an unusually thick skull, so he puts him in the ring. Homer keeps winning, not because he’s skilled, but because his opponents get exhausted punching him in the head. Eventually, they wear themselves out, and Homer just pushes them over.
That feels analogous to what I see happening to the American public over the last few years.
In my opinion, the United States was supposed to have a full-blown revolution during the BLM riots of 2021.

Leviathan’s Mal-adapted Immune Response
I think what I see in society, and in individuals, including myself, is a kind of hyper-sensitized moral immune system: one that reacts aggressively to certain forms of bigotry while remaining apathetic toward others. For example, I see open hostility toward Muslims or Somalians while the U.S. Attorney General, Pam Bondi, delivers a speech addressing the expulsion of a student at Florida State University for verbally attacking another student who was wearing an IDF shirt.
What I think may be happening to our society is that we have been given social vaccines repeatedly throughout our lives. Our moral outrage has been trained, or conditioned, to be hyper-focused in some directions and largely inactive in others. And, to be honest, if there were a button that many of my friends could press that would instantly remove every Russian from the planet, I think some of them would press it without hesitation.
So why do I bring this up? Because a maladapted social immune ...
