  • Absolute fool

    All I did was listen to this guys interview with Eric Cline. He’s an idiot who loves to hear himself speak. Not going to to waste my time further with someone who won’t do basic research before interviewing an expert.

    Razib’s Unsupervised Learning is one of the most interesting and stimulating podcasts in my feed. He mixes interviews with serious academics dealing with genetics, paleogenetics, ancheology, and history with monologues explaining important paper and broader swaths of study.

    Razib Khan is a unique gem with his interests, knowledge, training and passion. Being both a geneticist and historian I find myself hanging on to every word when a new report or update comes out and Razib presents an article or podcast. His attention to detail combined with enthusiasm and passion, makes him enjoyable to follow. He also isn’t afraid to do honest speculation, when question or void is at hand. Razib will also cover some politics, as well as tech and social groups with in and around... more

Q: Why is Israel so central to the discourse around Third Worldism, and how does that shape domestic politics in the West?

Q: What are some of the major findings Rufo has published, and how do they illustrate the broader problem?
Rufo highlights stories like migrant NGO funding, systemic fraud across programs, and the political patronage network, arguing that the scale of money and influence creates incentives that persist beyond any single administration.

Q: What is the high-level overview of the California project and its focus at this stage?
Rufo explains that the project examines how the state ramped up spending and channelled funds to unions, NGOs, and other political patrons, creating a powerful, entrenched machine that sustains Democratic control; the goal is to illuminate hard structural questions behind the headlines.
