Don't remember how I found this one. Don't know anyone speaking. Giving it a try anyway. Anyone in?
117: Laurence Tribe: The Physics of IMPEACHMENT & The Curvature of Constitutional Space
Laurence Tribe Is an American legal scholar who is the Carl M. Loeb University Professor at the Harvard Law School of Harvard University. We are discussing the impeachment of Donald Trump and unique aspects of the constitution that have a mathematical connection.
Tribe is a constitutional law scholar and co-founder of the American Constitution Society. He is the author of To End a Presidency: The Power of Impeachment.
The influence of Euclid on the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution was profound. The founding fathers were versed in the mathematical principles of the Elements, and used geometric proofs in the drafting of many provisions of the Constitution, as well as on money and measurements.
It’s no surprise that you’d look up Euclid in relation to the U.S. Constitution. Thankfully, there’s an easy way for you to see the connection and read about it in this fantastic blog post from this piece in Nautilus.

David talks to Helen Thompson and Adam Tooze about the choices facing the world in addressing climate change. Can we transition away from fossil fuels while maintaining our current ways of living? Will we act in time if we also insist on taking our time? Can the West uphold its values while getting its hands dirty with China? Plus we discuss whether American democracy is the worst system of all for doing what needs to be done.

The Lotus Eaters are going over some of the Chauvin trial, and I'm interested to see a less common perspective. Them being from outside the US should provide a fairly unusual view.
Carl and Callum discuss the quite remarkable revelations from the Derek Chauvin trial, the socialist revolution happening in a Pimlico school, and the announcement that Mark Meechan, AKA Count Dankula, is standing for the Scottish Parliament.
Shit, Piss, Cock, Cunt, Motherfucker, Cocksucker and Tits.

"Socialized medicine is just exactly as morally defensible as gassing and cooking Jews" - Seth. Yes, he really did say that.. "Seth you are a boon to this community" - Cunt. "I am seriously thinking of going on a spree killing" - Svartalf.

A really good podcast I've been listening to lately is Jon Richardson and the Futurenauts - How To Survive The Future. It's a comedy science show on a very wide range of subjects about how fucked up things are, but also how they can potentially be put right for a better future.
[Disclaimer - if this is comes across like I think I know what I'm talking about, I want to make it clear that I don't. I'm just trying to get my thoughts down]

The 9th Circuit will soon decide the fate of Everett, WA's controversial servers. They argue the 14th Amendment protects their right to serve double espressos topless. Evolutionary biologist Heather Heying joins Danielle for a fascinating discussion of why women's breasts have sexual purposes in addition to their feeding function. But is patriarchy to blame? Or that prude Mother Nature? (And by the way, should we leave room for cream and sugar?)
This time, it's about boobies, coffee and the Supreme Court. In case any of you are interested in those sorts of subjects...

Faced with enslavement and worse, these Kurdish women escaped traditional families to take up arms and battle ISIS town by town, street by bloody street. Bestselling author Gayle Tzemach Lemmon shares with Danielle their remarkable stories, as told in her new book "The Daughters of Kobani." PLUS: Co-Splainer Christina Hoff Sommers joins up top to dish on THAT trainwreck interview with Nancy Jo Sales.
I heard the Nancy Jo interview, didn't think it deserved 'trainwreck', but they ARE trying to sell their show.

Have listened to a few episodes of 'Fever Dreams'. They're doing at least a middling job of covering the progress of the luminaries among the delusional/performative right.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali just released one, which contains a 'third rail' subject (as I see it) that is very interesting.
I suspect her work will be verboten (probably related to laws in some countries) but do take it in. I don't know who Nicholas Kristof is, but I might check out how his character is assaulted by the left, after I hear him out.

Currently listening to Rick Doblin discuss psychedelics. Currently talking about MKUltra and overall discussing the research and results around psychadelics. Even his definition of that was a bit enlightening to me. Not quite convinced to start microdosing, but interesting.
