He talks retarded and fellates Chomsky. I still watch his interviews though, the one he did with the ex-Scientologist is the best video on cults I've ever seen.

The problem is that he's so fucking naive, it is silly.

He said plenty of times he hoped The Russo-Ukrainian war could be solved by peacefully realizing "we are all humans, and we all live together and suffer together, and empathy is necessary, etc." Motherfucker, the people who start wars know exactly what they are doing, and they don't care. They've sent their people to die horribly and DO NOT CARE. He believes this would be peacefully resolved if Putin and Zelenskyy had an honest, human chat. Lex, that's retarded.

Also, I get it nowadays, the most popular podcast methodology is to let the guest speaker talk a lot and not interrupt him. The problem is that if the speaker is lying or spewing bullshit, and you don't do research to confront him, you are just giving serial liars a platform to spread their bullshit. It's just lazy work on his part.

I'm somewhat OK with him. He lacks the will to challenge his guests though. And yeah, he's steeped into that Jewish IDW crowd, for which he cannot find any criticism.
Worst is probably Eric Weinstein. Never seen a more stereotypical, afraid of the masses rich Jew, with the most atrociously inflated sense of self-worth.
I just remembered he bullied Destiny (of all people) for saying nigger like a gorillion years ago. Or something. Literally 30 mins of awkward "why did you do this/how could you/it's hurtful" shitlib lunacy.

I think his problem is that he is smart in one field - I think he's a physicist, but that doesn’t translate into understanding global politics, or economics, or even history. When he has a guest in a neutral area, like the ex-scientologist, or in science, he does alright. He's just out of his depth with anything more controversial, and doesn't realize it, and doesn't do research (or enough research) to be even basically knowledgeable about the field his guest is in. It leads to poorly asked or framed questions, or stronger personalities steamrolling him.
