I never miss a Rudyard interview. I could listen to him for hours.

[matthewhewitt]

There is something genuine about Rudyard. I wish there was more content to listen to.

12:13 "one of the lessons I've learned is that slavery is not good" - Rudyard Lynch, 2024

[richardouvrier]

Rudyard is a genius. Especially given he’s very young and evaded college.

I’d put him up there in the Pantheon with Gibbon.

[제이앤제이]

This is the way to interview Rudyard - this is the best conversation I've seen with him. Other podcasters take note.

[kevind]

I'm a big fan of Rudyard, good interview

[EpicMRPancake]

This was a good interview! Interviewer knows what he’s talking about.

I dont want to say Kid Rudyard but this kid's genius is scary. Keep crushing it mate. Love your channel I am a 44 year old teacher degreed in Literature and Neuroscience and speak German and taught myself others on my world travels currently live in Saudi on mountaineering in Kenya atm. Work as a Nomad and Investor. You are simply awesome at such a young age. Somehow if you had a giant stache you'd remind me of a young Nietzsche.

Rudyard is so articulate explaining these complex ideas ~ @ 16:00 the gravity and ramifications of this idea cannot be overstated (regarding natural selection, or lack there of, in a decadent society)

[Captain_Sosuke_Aizen]

Post modern has the same feel as you roaming around a RPG game after you finished all your story and objectives. 😅

[kluafoz]

Rudyard doing shows on youtubers with massive sub counts like several hundred thousand subs and yet still did this show with 400 subs. You can't find real like that anymore. Btw in sub 401!!

The answer to solving the ‘pomo’ situation will be a cyclical understanding that the end was in the beginning: people will return to a tribal yoga to solve the problem of individual consciousness. Maybe that’s why Dune is suddenly so popular..?

[mikemccarthy]

The host mentioned his interest in embodiment. Does that extend to philosophy's like hylomorphism that propose A more embodied approach to the mind body problem

[davochinomalo]

Not gonna lie, I laughed too when he mentioned fighting for Belgium.

[chipcook]

If Belgians laugh at the thought of defending Belgium, Belgians had better shed the notion that Americans will.

[Makaneek]

There's no doubt that the Dune view of history is more accurate than the Star Trek view, its not even close.

[SenBilbo]

42:20 People would be considerably happier in the US if: (1) we had massive pro-worker and pro-employee legislation that revived the Middle Class by guaranteeing sound money and thriving wages (and broke the power of the billionaires and corporations and perhaps even the Federal Reserve) and (2) our laws on sex work were radically overhaled to be similar to New Zealand and Belgium.

I don't think alt history is worthless fanfic but to be at all useful it requires a massive amount of empirical work which cannot be expected from a hobby. Counterfactual lessons and counterfactual reasoning can be really valuable, it's an untapped resource. I don't watch that crap to kill time.

[coreybrenner]

The Internet as a data backbone, is the new Tower of Babel.

[QuizmasterLaw]

Cyclicity in history is a fascinating concept but tough to prove. Try path dependence instead. Meanwhile, you CAN and I Have done time series regression analysis on historical events! But the megacycles Kondratiev or Spengler are into are likely as valid as the astrological megacycles. It's the age of aquarius! So will we see justice friendship electricity and the triumph of the skies become most worshipful principles? Likely not. But astrological cyclicity DOES correspond to bull worship (age of taurus) and Xtianity (pisces fish etc). It's fascinating but it's gotta have empirical grounding.
