Really enjoyed this, you play off each other really well and are great at not getting bogged down in the weeds of the conversation.
I also love hearing Peter talk about sci-fi, I'd go mad for a star trek commentary series but even more I'd love to hear Peter connect with Mike Stoklasa over at RedLetterMedia, he's a proper Trek-Head and his old Star Wars prequel reviews were the prototype for the Critical Drinker.
I really respect your Cenk Uyger comment 21:16. I think there is good reason to reconsider your position regarding the need for enforcement of educational standards to ensure rational standards 33:57. John Papola warns about the dangers of establishing this permanent hierarchial authority 35:41. This is a question of whether to wield the ring of power, or to destroy it.
"I initially supported the Department of Education because I viewed it as a safeguard against states teaching pseudoscience like Creationism and Intelligent Design. However, now that woke pseudoscience has permeated our education system, I recognize that my desire for such top-down control was wrong. It's a trade-off. I believe that having a decentralized system, which is less susceptible to ideological capture—even if it means some states might teach some form of pseudoscience—is preferable." - Colin Wright (@SwipeWright on X, 4:28 PM EST - Nov 11, 2024)
A TARIFF AND TRADE WAR IS ABOUT TO DESTROY THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT
Tariff $ accrue to domestic governments to begin with but the costs are impinged upon consumers in all ‘competing’ countries. Prices increase for imported goods, sales slump, Supply chains are destroyed, goods are cut off, shortages occur, prices skyrocket, deprivation occurs in industry and jobs are lost or suspended, contracts are cancelled, supply stops, demand cannot be met because trade stops, tariffs are therefore not collected, domestic GDP falls because production and sales stop, taxes are not collected, governments are deprived of normal tax revenues and can’t meet own budgets, all social payments like pensions and social payments stop. Governments fall, health care systems and education crumble, all government operations cease to provide for citizens, EVERYTHING STOPS
Domestic industries cannot always be re-tooled quickly to allow countries to Buy (Home) goods so the Promise of ‘independence’ for domestic economies is a ‘lie’ that will never come true.
A tariff or world trade ‘war’ would put the everyday people 🌎 in very deep trouble all around the 🌍 world
Too much of the world’s capital is ‘invested’ in crypto - which has always been a Ponzi scheme at heart - and produces nothing in terms of real goods and services for the world relative to what is invested instead of being invested in industry and companies that ‘produce’ goods and services
If crypto fails, and it will if big rich ‘investors’ start withdrawing their capital trillions and trillions upon trillions (quadrillions) will be lost disappearing into cyberspace
THE WORLD is in trouble because of what is threatening - TARIFFS - a domino effect would occur around the world as countries try to ‘protect’ themselves with escalating competing tariffs that only drive their own economies downwards
The rich are in power - and the rest of the world would be poor in many ways, not just monetarily - the New World Order is about to take over.
This is George Orwell’s “1984” about to happen.
3 Superpowers ran the World of “1984”
A world of destitution, privation, and persecution at the hands of the “thought police”. People are being jailed for their opinions. That is already happening in the UK. The “Online Harms Act” is ready to go in Canada. Virtually the whole world is online and trackable and traceable. The Police are showing up at people’s doors in the UK for criticisms of the Labour Party and assorted online ‘aggressions’ for ‘words’ on Facebook. The world is ready to crumble at the hands of its own governments.
The ‘Axis of Evil’ is massive and it’s growing fast.
Government Tariffs are going to reduce the world to poverty. Oppressive governments are in power. This is the ‘New World Order’ about to happen
The RICH and POWERFUL remain in power and and the WHOLE REST of the WORLD is POOR, not just monetarily, but in terms of everything that they can’t get their hands on in economies that are downsized to the bare minimum - complete government control of everything.
This is the END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT COMING SOON
This is the ‘Project’ of the “New World Order”
WW3 ‘Trade War’ Begins with Tariffs
THE RICH AND POWERFUL WILL BE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO AREN’T POOR and PERSECUTED
AND IF I’m wrong, and worldwide tariffs are halted, the world remains as it is. Nothing happens. For now. The world just continues on the lunatical path it is already on.
Loved coming on the show, Peter. Super fun conversation. Let’s keep it going when you’re in Austin…

Great! I’ll be talking a lot more about sci fi in the future! It’s one of my two hobbies. (Jiu jitsu is the other one.)

I am sincerely willing to modify my opinion if I am given sufficient reason, evidence, and explanation. I’ve not seen that.

I disagree with John on more than just a few things but I value what he is doing like the rest of you are doing. I hope he continues to succeed
Thank you!
