Another great episode.
Episode 34: The End of Faith In the mid-2000s, Sam Harris helped revive atheism with his sharp wit, polemical style, and absolute refusal to listen to real experts. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

I approve this message! They clearly say Sam Harris is racist right at the start. Really sets the right tone. 👍🏽

imagining if kant had been a contemporary airport book author and after the critique of pure reason, he published 40 variants like "critique of pure teenager reason", "critique of pure grandma reason", "critique of pure coffee lovers' reason", etc
If the election is getting you down and you really need some chicken soup for the soul, I highly recommend Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason.

I was today years old when I found out the author of Who Moved My Cheese? was also the author of the weird, kinda-pseudo Christian, virtue-based biographies of famous people that I loved as a little kid. The image of the rabid dog attack in this book is BURNED into my brain.

Piggy backing off the OG Eric Adams connoisseur @The_Law_Boy's take on @IfBooksPod I hope his legal proceedings are just as comical as this and the other gems
never not thinking of eric adams 2011 pea on how to check your kid’s room for contraband

It comes from the TRULY APPALLING “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” I recommend this episode from the truly excellent @IfBooksPod for a breakdown of how absolutely awful the book is podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…
i dont think this is true? the term "man cave" first appeared in print in 1992 and has always referred to "hyper masculine" spaces off-limits to women. they were dedicated to sports, gaming, and beer. reading was coded as being for effete weak nerds

After Eric Adams was indicted on bribery and corruption charges, @The_Law_Boy and @RottenInDenmark took a look at the Mayor of New York City's early life and discovered it was littered with lies. This is such a great episode of @IfBooksPod. share.harkaudio.com/GnTvKhJj…

Come for the popular knapsack with many different locations; stay for the lengthy speedrunning digression 🧐 (From @IfBooksPod 8/19/24) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
Eric Adams teaches you how to search your child's room. Truly New York's weirdest guy.

Seems like a prime candidate for @IfBooksPod
Mike Huemer has written a new book titled Progressive Myths. The table of contents alone is going to break a lot of brains.

So, @JonHaidt announced he would put corrections for "The Anxious Generation" on his website. So, far there is only one entry on the recently created page. After reading the book, I think there should be many more. Maybe we can crowdsource a proper errata page?

Sad he tweeted this too late for the new @IfBooksPod patreon episode 😭
nobody will remember: - your salary - how “busy you were” - how many hours you worked people will remember: - how you put a lid on your trash can - how we sent rats packing once and for all - the day we won the “War on Rats”

I seriously need to thank @yourewrongabout and @IfBooksPod for their recent episodes on "Phones Are Good Actually" and "The Anxious Generation." I sent them to my parents. They now understand that I am pursuing my artistic career, not just "wasting time on social media" <3
