SH shows disappointing levels of anger & hypocrisy simmering, and seems to be increasingly wanting fights. But still mostly talks amazing sense. JS is quintessential MPP kid - bit tiresome, and pertinaciously correct - but with genuine courage in those values. It was interesting he often distanced from SH conservatism, and fun when he got SH to talk drugs though.
Listened to a couple eps of “Blocked and Reported”. Reminds me of UC3P.org but if they enjoyed riling up the internet rather than issuing apologies before tangentially related guests (someone from Mayor Lightfoot’s office).

51' know the quality of outcomes people are trying to van SATs scores because they reveal inequality Funny pointing out that Asian students suffer
61' 62% of US white, Sam Harris doesn’t engage should be targeted towards Rachel group
72' Sam Harris tinkers on the edge of hate speech with “drag (religious Jews) by their beards” IMO
77' if Israel-Palestine power dynamic flipped, there would be “genocide, no question”. Why so sure Sam?
80' love Jesse’s switch up to “talk to the Master Dealer”
83' legal: someone can bring you down with adavan, benzodiazopene
84' psilocybin & LSD = Russian roulette
87' unlikely to have permanent negative effect. Much was spurious correlation with 1% of pop who go schizo in 20s
89' MDMA physically dangerous but mentally safer
