  • Yup

    Anita was a breath of fresh air. She spoke the truth and the inanity of Transgenderism. Good show!

  • Such a disappointment

    I generally like this podcast for its openness to challenging topics. But this last episode with an Islam apologist was a bitter disappointment. There was virtually zero pushback from PB against any of the ridiculously white-washed answers to his questions. I wonder, is it because he didn’t know how to push back or he didn’t want too?

  • Brilliant Conversationalist

    Peter Boghossian is one of the few podcasters who actively listens to his guests and asks probing questions in a nonjudgmental way. My sense is that he truly wants to learn and has no difficulty self correcting when presented with a better argument.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Energy vs Everything | Doomberg
Q: What role does natural gas play in national energy strategy and AI compute?
Natural gas acts as a flexible, dispatchable base load that supports a reliable grid and cheap energy for data centers; it's an underappreciated but critical piece in maintaining energy dominance for advanced computing and economic stability, especially relative to coal-intensive grids in other countries.
Energy vs Everything | Doomberg
Q: What is your take on solar and batteries as a path to grid stability?
Solar is intermittent; batteries are dispatchable but not truly baseload, and to withstand intermittency you'd need an unrealistically large, expensive, and scalable storage solution and grid redesigns, which makes the wind-solar-battery model impractical at large scale without significant hydrocarbon backup.
Energy vs Everything | Doomberg
Q: When do you see the collapse of the dollar coming?
We're in the slow-motion throws of it now; fiat and debt dynamics, combined with the reserve currency status, point toward a gradual erosion rather than a sudden crash, with gold and real assets becoming more relevant as confidence wanes.
New Zealand Black Power vs the Government | Grub
Q: How do you see the role of prison reform in reducing reoffending?
A more humane, restorative approach can dramatically reduce recidivism, as seen in examples like Norway and Finland, compared with harsher systems that perpetuate cycles of crime.
New Zealand Black Power vs the Government | Grub
Q: What would you want to see the government do for the vulnerable and poor?
Implement policies that provide housing and healthcare, reduce systemic racism, and focus on creating opportunities and support systems rather than punitive measures.
