Podcast #551: Charlie Kirk, Free Speech, and Jimmy Kimmel
Sep 2901:06:56Tap to summarizeIn this episode we return once again to the Charlie Kirk murder and address some of the pushback we have received over our coverage of it, including whether it is worth fretting over when an active genocide is happening in Gaza. We address Kirk’s statement about some gun deaths being “worth it” to protect the second amendment, and then discuss Jimmy Kimmel’s monolog upon his return after his suspension. We then contrast Erika Kirk’s response to this tragedy with that of President Trump.

Podcast #547: AI, Warped Reality, and Cultural Extinction
Aug 2501:17:58Tap to summarizeOn this episode of DXP we return to the topic of AI (which we talk about a LOT, but it is the most significant and potentially species-ending technology, like, ever). We then turn our attention to the disturbing trend of low birth rates, discussing whether certain cultures have already crossed the line where they cannot be sustained (not to mention the ramifications on things like the work force and social security). We also address whether some cultures deserve to be eliminated.
