The Comedy Cellar: Live from the TableShould Jews Abandon Israel? An Uncomfortable Conversation with Josh SzepsTwo Zionist Jews discuss:
"Until Israeli politics can radically reorient itself, it’s time to construct a vision of Jewishness that’s independent of the state that pretends to act on our behalf. It’s time for Jews to reclaim the moral mantle of our ancestors. For the Palestinians, but also for the future of the Jewish people, it’s time for Jews to abandon Israel."

Festival of Dangerous IdeasSpeaking Bluntly (2024) - Antoinette Lattouf, Andy Mills & Josh SzepsJournalists play a vital role in a democracy, holding power to account. The traditional model of journalism sees journalists as disinterested seekers of the truth, striving for 'objectivity' and suppressing their own opinions. But as newsrooms and editorial pages previously staffed only by white male journalists have evolved, and as the internet has driven the rise of opinion journalism, we are faced with two important questions: Does it matter who journalists are? And does it matter what they think? At a time when media business models are in crisis, how should we think about bias, representation, truth and opinion? What h...

Paul’s podcast guest for August 2022 is Nick Enfield, professor of linguistics at the University of Sydney. Inspired by Nick’s 2022 book, Language Vs. Reality: Why Language Is Good for Lawyers and Bad for Scientists, Paul and Nick discuss how language is not always the best tool for conveying and representing reality.
Over the last three decades, Nick has conducted fieldwork on language, culture, mind, and society in mainland Southeast Asia, especially Laos. He won an Ig Nobel Prize for his role in discovering that “huh?” is a universal word in the languages of the world. H...

The Slippery SlopeJoe Rogan Truth or Mainstream Media Misinformation.Merriam Webster Definition of Truth
the real facts about something : the things that are true
The mainstream media keep telling us that Joe Rogan is pushing misinformation.
Meanwhile they counter his alleged misinformation by reporting actual misinformation (otherwise known as lying).
They mock and ridicule, and cannot hide the jealousy they have toward him.
A report from The Daily Mail outlines:
ABC Radio presenter Josh Szeps has defended Joe Rogan once again after the American podcaster was mocked by The Drum host Ellen Fanning. In an episode o...

It is Discernable®Let's Talk Virtue Signaling with Dr Cameron MurrayDr Cameron Murray returns to Discernable to talk virtue signaling and group psychology. As an economist specialising in human behaviour, corruption and property, he conducts research and experiments on the ‘groupish’ behaviour of humans and how those groups are formed, maintained, and dismantled.
A key ingredient of any human ‘group’, ‘tribe’ or ‘crowd’ is the signals they employ and spread to new converts. Group ‘signaling’ explains much of the pandemic reaction we witness today in both government and populations, especially as both health experts and governments openly admit that science is not the determining factor of their policies.

Conspirituality69: Fascism Down Under!!! (w/Dr. Izzy Smith)This week, California Governor Gavin Newsom rode sane pandemic messaging to victory against the Republican-led recall election by a huge margin. Unsurprisingly, voting patterns perfectly matched the state COVID heat map, with fans of the recall suffering the worst outbreaks. Meanwhile, a strict lockdown in Australia, which is experiencing a Delta outbreak, led to American libertarians and right-wing commentators screaming fascism! We talk to Decoding the Gurus co-host (and real-life Australian) Matthew Browne about the situation on the ground. Later in the episode, Julian interviews another Aussie, Dr. Izzy Smith, about her online anti-conspiracy theory activism and science advocacy.
