    Hot Take: Sam Harris is Not Intelligent

    I recently watched an episode of Part of the Problem, With Dave Smith, and it was them criticizing a recent interview with Sam Harris. During this episode Dave says that Sam is a smart guy, but I'd disagree. Sam is knowledgeable in the very particular fields that he's studied, but I don't consider knowledge to be a sign of intelligence, it's a sign of memorization. On the other hand I've observed Sam fail to apply logical thinking, which I would consider to be a mark of intelligence, as it demonstrates an ability to consume information and process it critically and rationally.

    Banished From the Hero's Party ep.4 - Public vs Private Services, Healthcare, Subjective Value, and Voluntary Exchange

    In this episode I go over episode 4 of Banished From the Hero's Party, discussing topics such as Public vs Private services, the misallocation of resources in public services, examples of how public services fail, particularly in American Healthcare, which is anything but a private, free market, capitalistic market, subjective value, and voluntary exchange.

    Elaboration on Exploitation of Labor

    One of the earliest episodes of this show I made was explaining why I think the claim that employers exploit labor is unjustified, and I used Konosuba as a springboard for that conversation. Today I saw a meme that seemed to share the views I was attempting to express in that episode, but naturally as a meme I felt it didn't explain well enough, so I wrote up an explanation that I thought I'd share here to further elaborate, and better articulate, what I was trying to communicate in that episode.

    Banished from the Hero's Party Ep 2 - Economics, Military, and Politics

    Continuing with the commentary on the anime "Banished From the Hero's Party". This episode was the one that originally made me decide I wanted to comment on this show, specifically because of the economic fallacies within, but upon re-watching it also had a lot to offer in terms of military strategy and politics.

    Spy x Family & Bullying

    I saw this meme a couple weeks back, among the many memes about Anya punching Damian, and subsequently apologizing, which got me thinking a bit about bullying and public schools.
