What is Mastodon… and will it kill Twitter? Welcome to the Cryptohunt Jam, where we spend one minute a day explaining crypto… and now also some other cutting edge news. As always: In plain English. There's been a lot going on over at Twitter in the last few weeks - Musk took over and users as well as advertisers have not been happy. Musk, you have to understand, said he acquired Twitter to protect free speech. But his actions seemed to contradict that - within days of each other, he blocked popular journalists' accounts and then forbid anyone to link out to other social media services. That was the last straw for many users, including such popular people as tech investor Paul Graham, who's been singing Elon's praises until then. The rallying cry to move to a Twitter alternative has been getting very loud. That alternative? It's called "Mastodon", and it's principles are inspired by blockchains. And, maybe not surprising to you... it kindof looks and feels just like a clunkier version of Twitter. What's different though, is how it works under the hood. Mastodon is actually not operated by a single company, like Twitter, but is essentially just a computer program anyone can run on their own computer. In doing so, they spin up their own Mastodon space using their own internet connection and users can freely roam between those spaces. The Mastodon everyone is talking about is actually one of those spaces, and you can find it at Mastodon.social. This operating principle is called decentralization, and has the same goals as Bitcoin and co: To let the community operate the service, so that the community is in control. Nobody can just ban users or change rules - unless the majority decides. Kindof cool right? We think so, and 2 million monthly active users seem to agree. Still a far cry from Twitter's 450 million, but who knows? Things have just started to happen. And tomorrow, we'll talk about what Twitter could have been - according to the dreams of its founder, Jack Dorsey.

This week I cover generational differences, something consistently relevant but especially today. It's a fun topic, mostly because we LOVE to hate on other generations. But the hate needs to be tempered – there's lots of learning to be had. We typically speak of generational differences in the context of work (Boomers vs. Millennials!), but the conversation needs to go significantly further than that. The differences have major impact on societal changes, political changes, community and home changes; and as we sit at major decision points, we have to be able to learn from different generations and incorporate the perspectives. Here is why: context changes. The year 1985 was viewed very differently from people in their 20s, 40s and 60s. The same is true today. Growing up at the tail end of Gen X, my perspective has been formed by the way we were treated by previous generations, as well as the context of our experiences and major events. Gen X was the “lazy generation,” and at a macro level, you can see that it's left the generation as skeptical, yet capable, of doing important things. Whether you find yourself in the Boomer set, Gen X, Millennial or Gen Z, we all have opinions on our own generation and others. But it's important to remember that we each generation has validity of perspective; one that we can interpret and learn from, but those learnings and lessons must be adapted to today's context. The world will evolve in spite of each generation, and we will see each generation arc over to a struggle for relevance. It's happened before and will continue to happen. No matter the decision you have to make – the learning mindset of approaching and understanding others will provide value and influence that is far bigger than the short term decision of today. With that – have a good week, enjoy your learning. “We look on past ages with condescension, as a mere preparation for us….but what if we are a mere after-glow of them?” – JG Farrell, The Siege of Krishnapur Your Title Goes Here Your content goes here.

Click here for an unedited transcript of the podcast Welcome to bellwether. Thank you for joining again. This week episode, 106. We're gonna talk about the different generations. Very topical right now. I like to do topical things and we're talking in a topical sense about the difference. The generational differences between boomers X, me is X millennials, Z, um, Y ABC, and every other letter. Uh, and I've talked about this before. Typically we talk about differing generations in the context of work boomers and millennials. It was like the, the battle of the century, the right. They hate each other, um, the okay boomer and the, the ignorant millennials and the, you know, whatever it is that they want, but generationally, we there's, there's a lot of context by generation that really influences our, our worldview and our perspectives. And it's kind of fascinating, the more you dive into it and the, the different generations that are out there and, and the way that they approach things.So this leads to beyond the workplace, things like societal changes, legal changes, political changes, uh, all very relevant today. And, and we can learn from these different generations as major decisions get made, or when we're thinking about something relevant to ourselves. So for example, um, one time a while ago, I did a, uh, a podcast. I think I did a podcast on retirement and what baby boomers can learn from millennials in terms of the mindset of preparing the mentality of preparing for retirement. Now, we always talk about retirement in the context of financial decision, and do you have enough money to, to retire and go do whatever it is you want to do? Um, but there's a psychological aspect too. And how do you approach it from an entrepreneurial standpoint to a keeping busy standpoint, to a side hustle standpoint, um, to a project based, you know, how do you keep yourself busy without doing the full grind kind of thing?And, uh, at the time, this was a few years ago, it was very, it was very topical from a millennial, uh, standpoint, um, point. Um, and just to be clear, uh, I'm not a millennial, I'm not a baby boomer, I'm at the tail end of generation X, which is the greatest generation. I will say that. Um, but I understand my wife's a millennial and, and so I'm, I'm closer to that millennial so than I am to the boomers, but, um, but there was a time, you know, when the first baby boomer millennial kind of go at it, aspect of challenging each other, uh, I mean, it was probably at least a decade ago. Um, the millennials were probably what, late twenties, mid twenties. And so, um, you know, it was at that time when a generation was having fun, they should be having fun, um, and boomers resented it. And that kindOf led to the whole entire, um, difficulty, but, but the mindset and the way the millennials had approached work, thanks to the technology and context of everything that had happened was very different than the typical way that the boomers would've approached and even previous generations, because the world had changed completely. And, uh, you could kind of see the boomers resented the youth almost. And I mean, we and gen X dealt with it as well. We were the lazy generation, but, um, but so it's interesting that generations hitting different times, you know, everyone's gonna hate gen Z because they're young , but, but their, their world view is gonna be very different. So where this all came up from and why I wanted to talk about it. Uh, and, and really the point of this podcast is to just to get you to think about it.It's not like you wanna solve problems with this thing, but, uh, I have a, a young lady who works for me, her name's Leah. She has all my social media, um, because I hate social media. Um, I just hate doing it and I don't do it. And, and it's almost table stakes. You have to do it if you have a business. And so I've got Leah to do it for me, and she gives me a list of things to do, and I'll do a quick video for whatever she asks and I put it out and, or I send it to her and she puts it out. Um, and there you go. Right. Uh, great, good, good, good, good. She does good work and, and I like it, but we were talking about stuff, but she wanted to, um, she said, can I repost something from Gary V for those who don't know Gary Vayner, Chuck, he runs Vayner media.He did wine.com. He's kind of a forward thinker, very popular, lots of followers. And I, I kind of jumped on the fence on that one. Uh, and it led to a longer discussion on why generation X really doesn't care for Gary V um, from my, from where I sit and I'm, I'm probably, it's not that I don't care for him, but I, I, you know, the value is questionable and I've kind of ebbed and flowed on, on Gary V. And, um, it just led to a longer conversation on, on generational differences and, and she loves Gary V, um, which is great. And there's a generation who loves Gary V and, and I, I think, you know, my initial response to her was the reason we don't really care for Gary V is that generation X, if you could give us a word to define our generation, it would probably be skeptical.Uh, generation X is known to be very skeptical of everything. Um, and, uh, I, I think it's a great, obviously I think it's a great way to be, um, we tend to dive into, or at least I do sometimes I go into cynicism a little too much, but, you know, skepticism is, is kind of relevant. So, um, the value of what people are putting out, which is, um, we're skeptical of it. And, uh, and it's just based on our experiences and the way that we were raised. And, and, you know, we were constantly told we were the worst generation and the lazy generation and, um, with all of our grunge music and, and good stuff from the late eighties and early nineties, um, it was the first time that, that we had almost that scale. We could share information and, and boomers could share information.And, um, we've gone through more changes than, than some of the other generations and the younger generations are going through even more than that. So, um, so much of the discussion that we had, uh, with Leah was, you know, a lot of the discussion normally is between boomers and millennials, but there's a gen X and gen Z one that's going to, to shake out. Um, and it's going to be driven by, or, or it's going to result in something very different because gen X's skepticism is very different than, uh, I think if you used the word to describe boomers, not being a boomer, uh, I think the, the non boomers would probably describe them as selfish. The non gen X would probably come up with other words besides skeptical that wouldn't necessarily be positive. Um, millennials would come up with very different words to describe themselves than the other generations, um, as well as, as gen Z, because, you know, we're, we think of ourselves as each generation thinks of ourselves is fantastic.But, um, when we think about Gary V back to the story, uh, the reason we're skeptical of it, and, and I'll, I can only talk about my perspective on it is when he first started making, uh, a ruckus, I guess, online, I was fairly dismissive of it only because it was just speaking of platitudes, right. There was no real value in it. Um, and, uh, and I said, that's great, but it doesn't mean anything. And, and then I started to come around and say, all right, some people can get value out of it. It hits people at the right time. Find maybe somebody gets value out of it. Um, but you know, what's the message. And, and what's really the point. And then I kind of went back to, you know, this whole NFT stuff, and yes, it's valid. It's gonna change the world and everything else.But, um, again, what's the value and, and people, I think my issue with Gary V now is people blindly follow without fully understanding. Um, and so while Gary V has value, I would say gen X looks at it from a slightly different perspective. You know, some of us could hustle in multiple ways. You know, the big thing about Gary V was about hustling and, and there's, there's validity to that. And I think a lot of millennials and younger generations really were able to hustle, take the weekends to go do the garage sales and flip it and do all those types of things. And you'll see that now. And, and I would attribute all of the, the COVID hustling, the people buying up all the properties and trying to turn them into Airbnbs and doing all of the stuff that comes down to hustle and side income and everything else, um, which is okay.Uh, gen X, we're probably a little too late for that. Um, we have a different context, you know, money's tied up in mortgages and kids and, and everything else. Um, so we're at a different time in our lives, millennials who maybe in their late twenties, early thirties, haven't quite made that yet are able to use some of this extra income to, to do these side hustles. And that's great. And so that's, that's probably relative. Um, but my, my issue is, um, we need to take things like Gary V and interpret it based on where we are in that current moment. And, and each generation is in a different place at that current moment. Um, and, and I think the challenges with, with generations, I feel like boomers probably got the, the, the thing in the fifties and the sixties, right? They hated the different types of music and the older generations hated them from the late 18 hundreds.You know, the, you know, these crazy kids and calling young kids snowflakes it's been around forever. Um, but there is a validity to the young generations, like gen Z. There is an idealism that comes from less exposure. It's part of it's naive naivety. However you pronounce that naivety naivety, um, and more exposure impacts our worldview. Um, we suddenly become more right and less of a learner. Um, and, uh, you know, we always joked in gen Z about being the worst class ever. We were told the worst class, this, we were the worst class the school has ever been. And I feel like that's probably every, every grade that comes up. Um, but when we think about the context of different generations, the boomers growing up in just massive growth, it's the end of world war II. It was so not typical. Every like the us was at the top of the world.Um, they didn't really have to work the way that other people have to work. Other countries had to work, um, and that impacts their worldview now, whereas the us is on a slight decline, if not a precipitous decline, um, their perspective on how easy it was previously is not necessarily relevant today. And, um, you know, me thinking about being gen X, I didn't have my first email address until I was in college. I didn't have my first cell phone until I think I was a senior in college. Um, you know, we grew up before nine 11. I remember coming off planes and my parents meeting me at the plane. Um, we didn't carry around the phone. There was a lot, you didn't know everything about gen X is we just didn't know. And if you wanted to learn something, you had to go to the library and actually look it up.Um, and we didn't care to know it, and it was okay. And, and we had to figure things out and you know, now we have, now you look at the next generations who are growing up in this context where all the information is at their fingertips. And I spoke last week in last week's podcast. I think it was, um, in terms of believability where information is constantly at our fingertips now. And how do you become a believable individual? Because just having knowledge doesn't really do anything for you, just knowing facts. Doesn't do anything for you. It's how do you turn that into wisdom and interpret it into a, a different type of thing. So thingsLike Gary V promoting all this hustle stuff and, and everything else is fine. If you know how to interpret it for your particular situation. Um, and we do that through learning and we can learn from different perspectives. So I think the main point of today is I've been rambling for like 15 minutes is we can learn from other generations, but we have to apply their learnings and lessons to today's context. Today's context is very different than anything that came before us making rules in the 1980s or making decisions in the 1980s are fundamentally different than the decisions we'd be making today. Um, I see it a lot in the coaching world, senior coaches, the gray-haired coaches who are coming out, who were Titans of business in the eighties and nineties, who are trying to talk about what Jack Welch did is completely irrelevant today. It's so outdated.And we find now that a lot of the things that were, you know, law of the land, the rules of, of how business operated and, and everything else from the eighties and nineties are really early, two thousands are irrelevant 20, 30 years. Right now, I just saw something. When I, I remember the early nineties, this movie came out called dazed and confused, and I loved it. It was, I've watched it hundreds of times. Um, and it was about this one day at this one high school in the 1970s, it was like 1975 or 76 or something. Basically it was 17 years before the movie was made. And if that movie was made today in 2022, it would be about 2005. And when I watched the movie in the early 1990s, the 1970s was a completely different world. Yes, I was born in the seventies, but you didn't really get the seventies.Right. You just heard about it from before. And when you watch this movie in the early nineties, which was, you know, we were listening to Pearl jam in Nirvana and, and we were doing cool things and we could use computers, but, um, it just looked like a completely foreign place. If you look back now from 2022 to 2005, it seems like it was yesterday. And, uh, it feels like it was yesterday. So, so generations and context change abruptly right before our very eyes. And we need to do our best to try and keep up, but our context and our value and our relevance changes very quickly too. And if I were to think about the boomers and the X and the millennial and the Z, we all have defining moments, uh, defining economies, defining experiences, um, whether it was the challenger nine 11 or, or, um, any of the wars or whatever. Um, but the world is, is going to continue to evolve without us. And while each perspective has validity, the interpretation for its relevance todayIs, is consistently up for, for discussion. And if you look at where the, the different generations stand now, I mean, the boomers in a work context, especially are struggling for relevance. They're trying to hold onto power. Um, but they are less and less relevant in the workplace. Um, and beyond I would say, right, I mean, they're, they, they still are a juggernaut and they're gonna be very expensive for the rest of us to take care of them and, and everything. And that's just a fact, um, but they feel it too. And, and they feel they're relevant slipping away. And gen X is just kind of in, in between, right. Um, you know, the bigger millennial group's gonna come up after. And, and so, you know, our relevance is, is minimal in, in between these two larger generations, gen zer kids, but their perspective has validity, of course.And so the real struggle and challenge, I think if I were to, to wrap it in a nice little bow is relevance between generations generational differences are, are all about relevance and who's relevant today. And when you feel your relevance slipping away, that's a very difficult pill to take. And so the context of your relevance and how you create relevance is different. You don't force it in, it just changes and, and that's that's work for you to do so. I just read a book, um, called the siege of Chris Nur. Uh, it was a fictional account of how the Brits kind of force themselves into India and India rose up. Um, but it was based in some reality. And, uh, they put this line in the book, J Farrow, uh, said, we look on past ages with condescension condescension. Um, we look on past ages with condescension as a mere preparation for us, but what if we are a mere after glow of them?And it was something that made me think, especially as I was thinking about the generational differences and everything else is we're so condescending to other generations because they're not us, but their perspectives have validity. And the light may be dimming a little bit. Um, but it's not necessarily the cause of particular generations because the context of the world changes and we have to embrace that and we have to be open to that. And, uh, we have to respond to that in an appropriate way, um, because time will time will move on. So, uh, with that, I hope everyone has a wonderful week, something to think about generational differences and, and the older and the younger among us. And, um, yeah, I hope you think. Well, and I hope you have a wonderful week and as always, I'm, I'm happy to talk, chat with you soon. Thanks.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Morality is Awesome, published by [anonymous] on the LessWrong. (This is a semi-serious introduction to the metaethics sequence. You may find it useful, but don't take it too seriously.) Meditate on this: A wizard has turned you into a whale. Is this awesome? Is it? "Maybe? I guess it would be pretty cool to be a whale for a day. But only if I can turn back, and if I stay human inside and so on. Also, that's not a whale. "Actually, a whale seems kind of specific, and I'd be suprised if that was the best thing the wizard can do. Can I have something else? Eternal happiness maybe?" Meditate on this: A wizard has turned you into orgasmium, doomed to spend the rest of eternity experiencing pure happiness. Is this awesome? "Kindof... That's pretty lame actually. On second thought I'd rather be the whale; at least that way I could explore the ocean for a while. "Let's try again. Wizard: maximize awesomeness." Meditate on this: A wizard has turned himself into a superintelligent god, and is squeezing as much awesomeness out of the universe as it could possibly support. This may include whales and starships and parties and jupiter brains and friendship, but only if they are awesome enough. Is this awesome? "Well, yes, that is awesome." What we just did there is called Applied Ethics. Applied ethics is about what is awesome and what is not. Parties with all your friends inside superintelligent starship-whales are awesome. ~666 children dying of hunger every hour is not. (There is also normative ethics, which is about how to decide if something is awesome, and metaethics, which is about something or other that I can't quite figure out. I'll tell you right now that those terms are not on the exam.) "Wait a minute!" you cry, "What is this awesomeness stuff? I thought ethics was about what is good and right." I'm glad you asked. I think "awesomeness" is what we should be talking about when we talk about morality. Why do I think this? "Awesome" is not a philosophical landmine. If someone encounters the word "right", all sorts of bad philosophy and connotations send them spinning off into the void. "Awesome", on the other hand, has no philosophical respectability, hence no philosophical baggage. "Awesome" is vague enough to capture all your moral intuition by the well-known mechanisms behind fake utility functions, and meaningless enough that this is no problem. If you think "happiness" is the stuff, you might get confused and try to maximize actual happiness. If you think awesomeness is the stuff, it is much harder to screw it up. If you do manage to actually implement "awesomeness" as a maximization criteria, the results will be actually good. That is, "awesome" already refers to the same things "good" is supposed to refer to. "Awesome" does not refer to anything else. You think you can just redefine words, but you can't, and this causes all sorts of trouble for people who overload "happiness", "utility", etc. You already know that you know how to compute "Awesomeness", and it doesn't feel like it has a mysterious essence that you need to study to discover. Instead it brings to mind concrete things like starship-whale math-parties and not-starving children, which is what we want anyways. You are already enabled to take joy in the merely awesome. "Awesome" is implicitly consequentialist. "Is this awesome?" engages you to think of the value of a possible world, as opposed to "Is this right?" which engages to to think of virtues and rules. (Those things can be awesome sometimes, though.) I find that the above is true about me, and is nearly all I need to know about morality. It handily inoculates against the usual confusions, and sets me in the right direction to make my life and the world more awesome. It may work for you too. I would append the additional facts that if you wrote i...

Listen. Sometimes, the internet just can't stop talking about politics, and this is one of those weeks. Since we are technically a podcast about the Internet, we thought it was important that we took the time to recognize the elephant in the room, or rather the infant elephant in the border cage. However, instead of just going straight into the belly of the beast, we've decided to discuss an analogous part of American history and dig into Japanese Internment camps by way of a few posts from both r/history, and r/aznidentity. Little did we know, but according to a very informative breakdown by u/olddivorcecase, Japanese Internment was largely driven by the agriculture sector. Also, u/dogboobes has new stalkers, and u/itsyerdad is covered in pellet wounds. This episode brought to you by free range eggs.
2016 was a fun year, we like all that, is about updating new brands and so, we launched that and then also, kindof took the time to take some personal work and really kindof organize that into just a place that would all the, to be able to sell prints of those in a way that was easy and organized. And showcased it, that was even like more work for us. I think I've talked to several of you, that everyone said oh somebody wanna buy one (1) of our prints, and you know. Okay now, how do I? What size do I do it? How expensive is that? How do I get it to you? And it's actually more work to actually fulfill that order, that when it's a final print like that, if you don't go through all the process. So we finally took the time and did that. Q: We learned that together, but it's a lot harder than just starting the print) A: Yeah, yeah. This is a very nice man here. We put him through a lot in 2016. Q: No. You guys are fine, you taught us some stuffs, so that's great. What would be something that if you could look back to when you started shooting, a bit of advice that you wish someone had given you. Q: So, part of what we've been talking about this year, so much is really the business behind what we're doing, and specifically you know we say fine art photography maybe, maybe six years ago, everyone would say no, I'm a photo journalistic photographer, and then it was fine art photographer, even now that may have been over used. Kindof like you know, organic, well then it was on every single food package, well then it doesn't really mean anything anymore. So, I think really just getting back to the business, and really taking the time to come up with the vision for your business, and more specifically for your life. Because if you just start doing and your goal is to go to the next wedding, to take the prettiest next picture, and you know to get on that magazine, and get on that blog, and you know, becomes the rat race, and you're kind of in it and then maybe years go by and you go, is this exactly where I wanted to be? Am I working towards the objective, towards the vision that I want for my life? And so really just being more strategic about that, and thinking about what you want your life to look like, and I mean really like, where is that, what are you doing everyday? Are you home on the weekends? Are you on a plane three days a week? What does that life look like? Because maybe you're kindof running in the wrong direction and wasting a lot of energy to chase after something that you don't even really want at the end of the day. And I think it is easy to get caught up in kindof what other people are doing, and what they have, and kind of go oh that looks amazing, I want that. But when you really sit to think about it, and go oh well that means we have to pack a bag on Thursdays and say goodbye to their kids. And they come home on Monday, and you know they're not there for that. And they miss Johnny's soccer game, or whatever that may be, is that really you know necessarily what you want? So just kindof figure those things out and making sure it, there's a trajectory and a strategy to get there. Q: So you've mentioned that 2017 for you is kindof the year of the business, and kindof peeling back layers. Have there been anything so far that you, that's been brought to your attention, and you're like oh my God how did I miss that? A: Like twenty things. Q: Okay so. (Laughs) Q: Oh, give us one of them that would help some of the people sitting here listening. A: Yeah. Even in, so I'm really into, at the moment especially just being more productive, and being my award of the year is intentional. So just really, just being intentional about, and that comes down to that what do you wanna be in five (5) years. What you wanna be when you're eighty. And so instead of just spinning the wheels to be intentional, and that, it boils down to what to get out of this week, what do I want to get out of this day.

Lock up your bikes and put on your scrubs, because we're nothing this week if not alarmists as we bring in the following issues!-Craigslist-Getting Medically Jerked Around-Turnpikes-Cultural spoilersIt's been mentioned more than once; "the wierd part of YouTube", but did you know that within the vast reaches of the internet there are even seedier places? Ancient places, where false promises are traded like folk tales on the wind, which smells of unbathed men in trench coats and cat urine. One such place, where e-roughians, iScoundrels and other ne-er-do-wells congregate is Craigslist. Craigslist is where you go to investigate the possibility of hooking up with a stranger, only to end up with all of the diseases and none of the pleasure. Craigslist is where you attempt to buy or sell an item and somehow wind up in possession of a dead body. Craigslist is, simply put, a place where no one can be trusted, everything is a trap, and the only thing you're going to get reliably is jerked around. And speaking of getting jerked around . . .I've talked about medical stuff quite a bit, here of late, but I suppose it's fair to draw from the wellspring of my personal life, even if it is a bit monotone sometimes. But, the medical profession has a way of keeping your life spicy. And by "spicy", I mean infuriating and chaotic, because it's impossible to go to a doctor with a simple request. Getting what you need from any medical professional is kind of like finding the plot to an episode of The Simpsons; you start out in one spot, and by the second commercial break, you've spun out of control into a cyclone of nonsequitirs and nonsense that, to some, may seem whimsical, but when you're the one bouncing from appointment to appointment, it looses its lustre really quickly. I'd almost be willing to pay more (that is, let my insurance pay more) if it would allow me to circumvent the ping pong of referrals. Kindof like an interstate bypass around a congested city, but with a toll. Yeah, that'd make sense, but roads with tolls, on the other hand . . .If there's one thing that outsiders can't stand, but insiders love, it's a good ol' fashioned Old Boys Club. You know, the kind where you scratch my back, and I scratch yours. The kind where I'm a government official, and if you'll give me kickbacks, I'll let you run your little project with ethics as questionable as your evil little heart desires. Welcome to Tab's favorite Oklahoma turnpike. But, really, I can't say I'm surprised. We can't just have something like a road get built on time and on budget. That's not how the world works. Instead, you start a company to build a road and you milk the voters who gave it the greenlight. Then you milk their kids. Then their grandkids. Then their great grandkids. You milk everyone until the end of time, or until your scheme is put to an end. But that kind of thing takes time. It takes generations, sometimes, for the opinion of the populace to turn against you. Culture is a thing that can sometimes change swiftly and sometimes slowly. Ideas, called "memes", can permeate culture virally now, so that any idea or fact can be promulgated unavoidably. And speaking of unavoidable facts . . .It's not often that you get to experience something old through fresh eyes. Take me, for example. I've been watching Star Wars since I was a kid. My brother and cousin were fanatics, and I was bombarded with every available Star Wars fact all day, every day. And that was in the 80's. Now imagine trying to experience that First Time feeling of A New Hope forty years after it was released. Enter my gorgeous wife, Aunt Buck, who had never actually gotten around to watching the original trilogy. Suddenly, through her, I had the opportunity to share in her first time experience. But, sadly, some facts are SO memetic and ubiquitous that even she had not avoided them. "No . . . I am your father." And so, before we were out of the first act, what is arguably THE biggest spoiler in Star Wars was already tainting the experience of a movie that it didn't even touch. Many YouTubers and podcasters will give a half-hearted spoiler warning for an old movie; "Hey, if you haven't seen this movie . . it's been out for forty years, so you have no excuse". Except when you do. For instance, I have never watched the movie Soylent Green, but I already know about Moses staggering out of the Ark screaming "SOYLENT GREEN IS A GMO!"Lots of great voicemails this week, from such fan favorites as Andy and Sage, but some other familiar voices, too. Whose car is going on a journey to the center of the earth? You'll have to listen to this week's episode to find out!
