Jay Flaunts His Ignorance. The Podcast.

Chris and Jay experiment with a new format: 2 lapel mics in the backyard while running 4 dogs around. Jay asks a question from the excellent 80,000 hours podcast: Andreas Mogensen on whether effective altruism is just for consequentialists. (That link jumps to time mark 1h 21m in that podcast episode.) When is it better to “let” one person die than to inconvenience thousands, millions, billions, trillions of people? backyard1.mp3 (52m 26MB) If you like this episode please retweet us on Twitter and consider giving us $1 a month on Patreon so we can waste your money instead of our own. :) Musical intro by Skytrekg!

Chris and Jay talk about growing up with your dad as a small town police officer and how Chris joined the Army in response to 9/11. Chris talks about his years in Afghanistan, how he saw the US Army as mostly a pacifist organization. The good they tried to do in country and why our efforts, apparently, largely failed. 039.mp3 (1h 7m 32MB) If you like this episode please retweet us on Twitter and consider giving us $1 a month on Patreon so we can waste your money instead of our own. :) 0m: Musical intro by Skytrekg!

Click to follow him on Twitch! An amazing traditional (oil, guache, etc) artist, guitarist, and singer. Jay’s notes on the Your Undivided Attention episode: Power to the People: How Open Technological Innovation is Arming Tomorrow’s Terrorists by Audrey Kurth Cronin. Is decentralization a good thing? “Decentralizing the capacity for catastrophic destruction.” 3D printing weapons. Crypto currencies (Bitcoin, etc.) Would stop us from sanctioning Russia when they invade Ukraine? Twitter vs. Mastodon. Nazis using platform. Minority instances get abused? 5m: Alfred Nobel, invention of dynamite. Way more stable, po

Chris and Jay discuss Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), reacting to a couple of podcasts (links below) that are far better than this podcast.

No one is more knowledgeable on the subject than returning guest, Professor Stephanie Kelton. On this episode, originally released in 2020, Kelton explains the myths surrounding MMT and what a new understanding of the budget could do for our economy. 5m: The Problem w/ Jon St

Justin Hopkins returns to the podcast and tells us what it was like living in China when covid-19 broke out. Jay drags the conversation into wealth disparities and social safety nets. Again. Apologies to listeners who are sick of Jay yapping about this and nothing else over the last 4 episodes. :) 033.mp3 (1h 15m 33MB) If you like this episode please retweet us on Twitter and consider giving us $1 a month on Patreon so we can waste your money instead of our own. :) Links: 0m: Musical intro by Skytrekg!

Jay takes a 3rd swing at the ethics of American wealth disparities and probably fails to make any intelligent point again. :) 032.mp3 (1h 18m 31MB) If you like this episode please retweet us on Twitter and consider giving us $1 a month on Patreon so we can waste your money instead of our own. :) Links: 0m: Musical intro by Skytrekg!

The first hour Chris and Jay revisit the ethics of wealth disparities. Jay tries to find common ground, and finally does, with a “100 people on the moon” hypothetical. We probably need to revisit again. :) The second hour switches to affirmative action discussions. Jay was entirely unprepared, promises to launch a spirited debate next episode. 031.mp3 (1h 31m 39MB) If you like this episode please retweet us on Twitter and consider giving us $1 a month on Patreon so we can waste your money instead of our own. :) Links: 0m: Musical intro by Skytrekg!

Chris thinks it’s always racism? Walter Williams: Suffer No Fools says Jay is wrong. And Jay feels very uncomfortable disagreeing with an African American on this topic. :) According to Walter, affirmative action has been doing more harm than good

The first half hour, Chris and Jay talk about our high level “left vs. right” politics, and if those labels actually mean anything when reasonable people actually talk to each other. We touch on various charity experiences we’ve had, and the personal responsibilities people need to take on themselves. At 30-40m we talk about the Future of Work and what a healthy society looks like if a huge percentage of humans are unemployable due to automation. At 50m we abruptly pivot to gun legislation including so called “Duty to Retreat” and “Stand Your Ground” laws. 030.mp3 (1h 44m 43MB) If you like this episode please retweet us on Twitter and consider giving us $1 a month on Patreon so we can waste your money instead of our own. :) Links: 0m: Musical intro by Skytrekg!

If you’re not familiar with Bitcoin and Cardano, listen to episode 28 first. Jay and Alex talk about last week’s launch of SundaeSwap on the Cardano network and how it’s impacted the entire Cardano ecosystem. For good and ill. SundaeSwap is a DEX (decentralized exchange) whose popularity has caused impressive backlogs (wait times) for the entire network. 029.mp3 (41m 18MB) To support Alex please delegate your ADA to NASEC! Jay recommends the ccvault.io wallet which is super lightweight, fast, and easy for delegation. It costs you nothing, your ADA is not locked, you can move it anytime.

Justin Hopkins is one of Jay’s oldest and dearest friends. He lives in China. But not this week. Because he flew back to Americatown and announced that we were going to record a podcast episode. About what? About Jay. dum dum DA DUUUUUM!!!! Listen as Justin hoists Jay on his own petard. Which is especially uncomfortable since Jay had his petard surgically enhanced mere days ago and remains on pain management medicine. Listen as Justin demands answers about Jay’s dark and sordid past, dropping out of universities just to look cool and fleeing South Dakota after uncomfortable interviews with law enforcement. Listen as Jay stammers through lame excuses for his ongoing heresy and blasphemes against the current American president. 026.mp3 (2h 15m 76MB) Links: Global Shopping Club, Inc. in 1996 ONSALE, Inc. was our fierce rival in 1997 For $19.95 you can rent this motherfucker
