Great podcast but not thinking critically about UAPs

This is a great podcast and the guys are great, but they are not able to think critically about UAPs. In the words of Carl Sagan (and according to Bayesian logic) extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. A slew of unsubstantiated and improbable claims does not equal probability.

Breedlove in Bluejeans

Josh and Dan downplay their knowledge and sophistication of Bitcoin. Don’t be fooled. They are Breedlove in bluejeans; they simply deliver in plebespeak.
