In this week’s episode, we discuss the assassination attempt on Trump’s life, and the security and media landscape in which this happened. Are we all in a modern Plato’s Cave that has become a hall of mirrors, such that we can be sitting right next to someone, seeing a totally different reality? How can we evaluate different interpretations—is “lone gun nut” an inherently better or less biased hypothesis than conspiracy? Or are our use of aphorisms—like Hanlon’s Razor, “First, do no harm,” and “correlation doesn’t imply causation”—overused, and applied in places where they should not be? Finally: a poem.

This is an inspiring speech, but such an obvious "deep fake" - it's one little video clip played again and again, with amazing ai techniques to form the mouth and issue the proclamation... what a crazy ass world we live in
@bretweinstein Just finished the James Lindsay intervention on the Woke Right concept, lol. You can see from the comments that it didn't really go anywhere, which I and many others feel is James' fault, as you say, not formulating his argument well. It's either "not actually a thing," or "the normal thing that doesn't need another name (vanilla political activism, promoting your worldview via game theory/Machiavellian means)."
He mentioned Auron McIntyre as an example. Auron is fairly educated and very mild mannered, I've been following him for a while, and he was really reluctant to even engage with this stuff months ago, but James was so determined about it, so he felt obliged to respond. Since you can't get a straight answer out of James, I think it wouldn't hurt you to interview Auron to get his inverted take, maybe you can figure out what "Woke Right" means judging by how the targets of the allegation react. Auron, again, is a very reasonable, not extremist person who I think you'd ...
