The Plywood Technocracy of Ashraf Ghani
Revisado: 09-02-22
Ashraf Ghani interview was mostly sleep-inducing, but I suppose it needed to be done. Thats about all there is. Good take by Fareed on Afghanistan war and the US tendency towards "Plywood Imperialism", as first noted by Afghan veteran and journalist Elliot Ackerman, who should have a book. His interview was brief. I skipped the Coppola interview.

Epsiode 1 - Too much non-math and pomposity.
Revisado: 07-06-22
I started with the first one mostly on elitism and Pythagoras. Any commentary on Pythagoras that doesn't start with "we don't know much about him with certainty" because he never wrote anything, and it all comes from biased or mythologized secondhand accounts is suspect. There is simply too much wrong with this episode. Why is it so difficult to find a good math Podcast in which people stay in their lane of what they know, or at least have guests that do? Sounds like a bunch of pompous hipsters. Sad..
They need to stop trying too hard to sloppily fit everything to their narrative about elitism. There was obviously a lot of politics involved when opponents labeled Pope Sylvester II a sorcerer. But the way these hipsters present it, with zero social or cultural nuance regarding the times, it was all because he dared to use foreign Arabic numerals. They are straining to have everything fit their per-determined narrative about elitism. They give a long quote from a Galilean book presented as some kind of lame "proof” of Aristotelian ignorance, but they do not bother to mention that it is a fictional dialogue. The language and translations are probably deceiving but again, they are determined to keep themselves and the listener stuck within their modern lens.
Still wondering where the math is and how this makes math more accessible.
They then provide a questionable definition about cults stating they all have the characteristic of starving and restricting adherents into submission, even ridiculously positing out of thin air that that makes sense evolutionary. Sure, why not throw in some armchair evolutionary biology too. But actually, competition makes just as much sense as cooperation evolutionary, probably even more so. The audacity to think they can apply a questionable modern definition to something so long ago that we have little evidence of is absurd. Everything was called a "cult" in those ancient Greek days, partly because they didn't have a word for religion. These people are ignorantly stuck in their modern hipster lens of what "cult" means combined with the story of the guy who was supposedly murdered for revealing the irrationals (probably a baloney account for all that we know) and then essentially concluding that the Pythagoreans must be an elitist cult no different than David Koresh or something. I am not sure how these hipsters got degrees.
