The podcast itself is quite interesting if you can handle moments of extreme liberalism, both hosts admit that china is living in the future and that America has failed on a structural level

Wrapping yourself with dynamite and blowing up Israelis in a pizza parlor, that's okay. Because we're weak and they're strong and the weak have a different morality.

Wtf? They don't even try to understand how other people think and their motivations.

Yea something that sticks out to me is how much the democratic silicon valley liberal elites are just ideological zealots. They are completely incapable of seeing things outside their own perspective.

Everything is falling down around them and their first instinct is to plug their ears and when that doesn't work and they have to recognize an issue they just offer more neoliberalism as a solution
