- Not much Turchin in the Turchin episode
Disappointing. It was pretty much two guys bloviating sophomorically. Funny thing is, I actually agree with a lot of the sentiments they expressed (about America needing to grow up and accept that it is no longer going to be the dominant world power), but the factual inaccuracies and gross mischaracterization of certain eras were distracting, and the rambling conversation was frustrating—I know they mentioned Turchin’s name once or twice, but did they ever talk about his ideas?

Fascinating podcast. Too bad it ended.

Razib needs serious voice coaching. Spencer is a joy to listen to. We have an epidemic in this country of young people who do not pronunciate, try to jam words too fast, ignore pauses called periods...Annoying as hell nasal vocal fry… It sounds like a sick child seriously congested.Please take this to heart, many of us decide each moment to stay or go. If speaking is part of your profession, take lessons like you did for the actual subject matter! Of course, I am only the audience.
