Added 2024-10-07 09:49:17 +0000 UTCAn analysis of the wild conspiracy reactions to Kamala Harris replacing Biden, featuring hot takes from figures like David Sacks, Lex Fridman, and Bret Weinstein. Plus, we unpack the 'cringe immunity' of Konstantin Kisin and his 'comedic' commentary.

Their entire rhetorical strategy was constructed around the Sleepy Joe meme so now they're panicking and desperately grasping at straws

2024-10-08 05:39:15 +0000 UTCBrett introduces himself as "Dr" Bret Weinstein - in my experience PhD's rarely use their honorific unironically, I've gone years without realising colleagues had a physics\math doctorate. Usually, people who insist on using "Dr" are god awful and a nightmare to work with. Not sure if this is the same in universities?

2024-10-07 20:50:38 +0000 UTCI think the videos are all taken from audio podcasts that have already been released. I believe this was a supplementary materials episode.

2024-10-07 15:12:18 +0000 UTCHow did Bret come up?

2024-10-07 15:11:21 +0000 UTCMy boss is the penultimate tech bro and unironically believes Bret is galaxy brained

2024-10-07 12:59:07 +0000 UTC‘Too distasteful to analyse’.

2024-10-07 12:06:02 +0000 UTCI was a huge Twilight, Shades of Grey, Dan Brown and Jodi Picoult fan until I went to the Asda bestsellers festival and had my sense of self irreparably shattered

2024-10-07 10:26:05 +0000 UTCWell I'm not a post doc so don't say that! I was enjoying feeling clever by osmosis
Tom
2024-10-07 10:23:28 +0000 UTCPost docs aren't paying attention to Bret and David Sacks I don't think. Just us...
Christopher Kavanagh
2024-10-07 10:21:34 +0000 UTCThe thing that really buggers up my worldview is that Bret Weinstein and Elon Musk are both Hitchhikers fans. I just don't see how you can be someone who gets that humour and finds this conspiratorial worldview attractive.

2024-10-07 10:12:05 +0000 UTCThe phrase 'gossip magazine for post-docs' keeps coming back to me since the Elgen Strait episode. TMZ for nerds, indeed.
