Our episode on Destiny (
@TheOmniLiberal
) now out for everyone. Be prepared for topics you might not have anticipated to show up… you have been warned.
Is
@joerogan
just a man on the street with no interest in political partisanship, who just wants to ask sensible questions about the vaccines?
We will save you some time.
The answer is No. No he is not.
In this special episode we take the unusual step of asking three relevant experts to discuss the lab leak controversy and evidence surrounding the origins of covid. Thanks to our guests. We are sure this episode will be warmly received by one and all!
Looks like we might need a sense making emergency episode to try and get to the bottom of all these huge revelations from Joe Rogan’s recent guests. I mean it’s all extremely complicated. Do we even really know anything about vaccines? Buckle up buckos! There is sense to be made.
Now out for everyone on the podcast feed and YouTube(!) our 'Right to Reply' episode with
@TheOmniLiberal
which covers everything you would expect and probably a bit more.
Our next decoding will be Noam Chomsky. Suggestions for content are appreciated. Long-form, recent, and representative are preferred! Much obliged for any recommendations!
lol. Good job
@YouTube
. Our unlisted video from a year ago explaining why Rogan was promoting misinformation on covid was carefully reviewed and found to violate standards. Meanwhile, stuff like Maajid Nawaz's appearance on the DarkHorse is fine and dandy!
Here are the overall Gurometer scores to date, with error bars representing the difference between Matt & Chris' scores. Remember this is how well they fit our 'secular guru' template.
We take a look at Jordan Peterson’s recent interview with Destiny and use it as a chance to take a retrospective look at how Jordan’s output has developed over the years. Spoiler: it hasn’t gotten better.
Coming Up…
1. Chomsky
2. Matthew McConaughey
3. Sam Harris
4. Huberman
For any clarification on what us covering someone means, please refer to our last episode. 🫡
Unexpected Bill Maher episode featuring guest appearances from Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins. It’s like it’s 2001 over here! And boy does Bill have some hot takes on GERM THEORY!!! 🙄
So
@joerogan
, who was introduced to “Mass Formation Psychosis” by a guest, mocks those who deny it because it’s debunked by a hypothetical psychologist.
Solid logic.
I have yet to find a SINGLE reference to it predating Robert Malone’s post in December. No articles. No books.
Out now on the Patreon a 2 hr Right to Reply episode with Destiny (
@TheOmniLiberal
). Out for the rest of you at the end of the week. For topics covered see below.
It’s been a while in the making but it’s finally out. A joint episode with
@lexfridman
and (unexpectedly)
@JonHaidt
. Sorry about the wait and the length. Enjoy!
Our new extended effort to map the ever shifting terrain of Weinstein World is now out. As promised, we are joined on this latest expedition by a very special guest: the famed psychologist, podcaster, and amateur Weinstein-ologist, David Pizarro (
@peez
).
You mean like making a multiple hour podcast detailing the rhetorical techniques they employ and demonstrating how basic bullshit checks confirm many of their claims to be transparently false?
The claim
@joerogan
& guests are "intentionally spreading misinformation" is wrong: they don't think what they're saying is misinformation—They think they have a valid point. They may be wrong but that's different. Instead of accusing them of lying explain why facts say otherwise
Coming soon... the most ambitious crossover since the Fraggles meet the Muppets (with
@peez
and
@tamler
). Available for Patrons later today and everyone else in a few weeks (due to episode & editing backlogs).
Out now for everyone. Ever wonder what happens when you cross bohemian hipsterism with reactionary contrarianism and add in a pinch of bog standard conspiracism/anti-vax? No? Well join us if you want to find out… or don’t… whatever…
Tis the season to transcend all petty squabbles and tribal identities, so join us won’t you for a seasonal episode on Sam Harris! Merry Christmas ya filthy animals.
We are back for Round 2 with Flint Dibble (
@FlintDibble
) on pseudo-archaeology vs. real archaeology, his response to Graham Hancock's recent 'fact-checking' of him, & his broader experiences for good and ill with public science engagement.
We interviewed
@19joho
today about covid contrarian doctors & related topics. He’s tirelessly chronicled the self serving lies & obfuscations of the contrarian set. Heartily recommended follow and for anyone who can’t wait for the episode the interview is now on the Patreon.
Get ready to join us in a luxurious forest soak as we examine Andrew Huberman. Prepare to marvel at the esoteric mysteries of sushi restaurants, ponder the scientific power of feet on dirt, and (perhaps) rid yourself of some negative ions.
Out now for everyone. Our Right to Reply episode with Sam Harris in which we cover a few topics that might be of interest. Also featuring an impression of Andrew Huberman’s TRT thankful dog.
This is a big one. Sam Harris and
@EricRWeinstein
have agreed to an extra-long joint interview.
More discussion, more questions, more answers.
Got a question for our guests? 💭

@OnLocals
right now for your chance to have it answered 👇
Out now on Patreon, we do a deep dive into the streamer Destiny (
@TheOmniLiberal
), AKA Steven Bonnell II, AKA Mr. Borelli. For the rest of you... just a few more days.
This isn’t hard. We don’t endorse anyone targeting your family or issuing threats. We also don’t endorse every tweet/comment by every guest we have on. (Should we assume you endorse everything said by James O’Keefe?) But it seems rather clear this is not a serious comment. 🤷🏻♂️
Just noticed we are a year old this month! Been a fun ride so far and we are very happy (and consistently surprised) with how the podcast is doing. Thanks to everyone for listening and all of our kind Patrons! Many more gurus to get to this year! 🎉
Won’t you join us (and the sensemakers) as we enter the Nth dimensional cube and begin the hero’s journey though an avalanche of mytho poetic catalytic memetics? And yes this is a long one… use the pause / skip / delete function as necessary!
There’s a lot of conspiracy talk these days so we were excited to see advice from professional skeptic
@michaelshermer
on how to spot true conspiracies. And yet… we don’t find ourselves agreeing with most of his recommendations. Join us to find out why.
Available now for Patreons a very special interview with Leverhulme Prize winning philosopher
@lastpositivist
. For the rest of you, you will need to wait a few weeks to hear the precise moment when Liam acknowledges us as the only legitimate heirs of the Logical Positivists.😏
Bret and Jordan are out here sacrificing themselves for the good of humanity & developing earth shattering new theories and they just aren’t getting the attention they deserve! We do our part to rectify that.
@PageauJonathan
Hey that’s not what we said. We said you like to obfuscate & noted that you dismiss literalist interpretations when it suits your purposes, like when your followers are being too literal in their descriptions. Your whole thing is to escape to ambiguous symbolism anytime you need.
Out now on Patreon and the end of the week for everyone else. We cover our decoding, the lab leak, Sam’s coverage of the Israel-Gaza conflict, the limits of introspection & the nature of self, inconsistent criticism & the far right in Europe, & the role of jihadism in extremism.
Want to know just how far James Lindsay’s nonsense goes and learn about one of the figures responsible for converting him into an InfoWarrior? Join us and
@ETVPod
for a deep dive into the world of bug eating technocrats and their communist plots.
So the same pple who believe that Trump won the election, weightlifting combined with hydroxychloroquine, cures Covid, masks and vaccines don't work but are part of a plot to subjugate citizens, & Bitcoin solves everything, now believe that Putin may have a point in Ukraine.
Even better, the very same video was flagged one day earlier for the same issue and when we appealed it was approved as not violating standards. You guys are really doing a bang up job preventing the spread of misinformation.
Point of Order! We step into the marketplace of ideas and offer a heterodox take on
@KonstantinKisin
’s widely celebrated speech on woke culture at the Oxford Union.
Want to understand
@BretWeinstein
's alternative theory of evolution? How about
@jordanbpeterson
's theory that religion(/Christianity) is an evolutionary cheat sheet for ascending the fitness hierarchy? Join us and see the revolutionary theories collide!
We face up to our fragility, do the work, and come back not better people per se but just you know better than *those* guys. Join us ye sinners and start the never ending work.
Interview with
@helenlewis
on politics and religion, culture war debates, and her interview with Jordan Peterson. Perhaps also an illustration of the benefits of having a bit more space to cover things than your traditional Twitter quote retweets!
Being males, this is why DTG is such a stable podcast, not afflicted by the back-biting and friction you sometimes see in other outfits. Everyone’s clear who’s the Professor and who’s the Assoc. Professor, who’s got the bigger h-index. Everybody knows where they stand.
Join us for an episode in which we explore the magic doors that open when you produce culture war red meat and who is waiting to join you in Bill Maher’s green room. Also featuring: Gurusphere updates on Brand and Kendi. Try not to be triggered… 😮💨
Alongside the forthcoming special episode we also have forthcoming interviews with
@Debunk_the_Funk
and
@page88
. Already accessible for Patreons if you cannot wait.
At last… our long overdue episode with
@timbahontoast
on his Tim Pool series and his broader love of the Scooby Doo narrative arc. One not to miss!
Rubin episode dropping tomorrow (Japan/Australia time) but if you can’t wait, it’s already out on the Patreon along with two other bonus episodes today. It’s raining Decoding the Gurus!
What’s that? You want a new episode about UFOs featuring old friends and new? We got you. Strap on your Unified Geometric drive and let’s go for a ride! It’s been a while…
The people are starving - for fresh content! And with Annie Kelly
@AnnieKNK
, GurusPod is here to deliver. Annie gives a great overview of history of vaccines, anti-vaxx, plus weird anti-feminist and conspiracist online subcultures. It's great! Enjoy!
14. Do not allow yourself to become arrogant or resentful.
If you’re resentful, you’re likely not standing up for yourself sufficiently, or someone is legitimately treading on your territory. You need to do something about that. Or live with the consequences.
Update for the Chomsky episode... we are taking a little bit of everything. Recent interview, including views on Ukraine, older interview on linguistics, classic interview about his general politics & worldview. And yes we will reference his views on Cambodia & Bosnian genocide.
New episode on Alex Jones, his trial, and conspiracy ecosystems featuring the irrepressible Dan Friesen, host of
@knowledge_fight
podcast. We enjoyed this one and hope you do too!
