The Jim Rutt Show is an interview podcast series examining cutting-edge thinking in science and technology and the future of our economic, political and social systems and institutions. New episodes are released weekly, more or less.
And yet I keep getting texts from Kamala Harris wanting money from me but Trump leaves me the fuck alone which is what I want in the first place so say that again only this time mean it
Just now being introduced to Neil Gaiman's work and TV Show American Gods. That backdrop established, if psychotherapy is not represented as a "God" in that series i will be highly disappointed. Especially with her construction of '3+1' which feels very structured as a religious equivalence.
I've been a fan of Rutt in the past but it's kind of weird how his hill to fight from in this election is a status quo of pumping infinite money into a lost cause and ethnically cleansing a white male population, while rounding up the ones who disagree into death vans. It's not even clear this is hurting Russia geopolitically, and not the exact opposite.
The "purpose" of the nazi's was not "bad'. Was not "too do bad things". The purpose was more to give room for their group. To expand there group. Like the mindset of a mountain lion chasing a rabbit.
Arrogance tends to be a barrier to change, challenge, growth, and understanding. Many people fall into this category. Your generalization of a group’s intelligence is sad. In your same breath you make a point about the indoctrination of college age kids? Seems that their IQ has not protected them! Also, in religion there is a very clear distinction between KNOWLEDGE vs. WISDOM. You sound knowledgeable but I haven’t heard wisdom yet.

For me, there's one issue in this election (glossed over and dismissed in this episode) that supersedes all other issues: Respect for the election outcome. If you vote for Trump, who is busy climate setting for the sequel to 2020's Fake Electors Plot and Big Lie, you're voting to bring back the team who tried to not just weaken, but to nullify the entire institution of voting. Seriously, refresh yourself on the Fake Electors Plot before you vote. The one sentence summary is - Before Jan 6, in seven battleground states that Trump lost, Team Trump assembled their own slates of loyalist presidential electors in hopes of pressuring Pence to certify that Trump won them, or at least to create chaos that could be exploited.
You're so brainwashed that you're unaware that the whole "fake elector" scheme was taken from the Democrat playbook that they use EVERY SINGLE ELECTION WHEN A REPUBLICAN WINS!!! It's actually called Alternate Electors and it's completely legal and a political strategy because if you don't send alternate electors and fraud is found in unsettled court cases then no matter what happens you can't get sworn in as President. And regardless of what your fact checkers have told you there was MASSIVE election fraud in the 2020 election! I watched boxes of ballots being brought in the back door at the TCF center in Detroit in the middle of the night and then all of a sudden the next morning Joe Biden had overcome an unbeatable lead and this happened in Pennsylvania, Arizona, my state Wisconsin and especially Georgia! How else can you explain that all these states for the first time in US history all stop counting in the middle of the night only to start up the next day with the opposite candidate leading in what otherwise would've been impossible to overcome? That only happens in 3rd world countries that have fraudulent elections, never in the US until 2020 and if you actually knew what we knew about the 2020 election then you'd be pissed off too but you don't because THEY CENSORED IT IN LIVE TIME JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE IN 2020!!! WAKE UP!!! Trump 2024
@@CornFambly nomination of "alternate" electors are a maneuver within the constitutional framework. A particular state certifies electors. That particular maneuver failed, and success or failure of such a maneuver is a normal procedure within the constitutional framework. An attempt was made recently to prosecute someone for attempting to serve as an alternate elector: the case was dismissed. I believe the 2020 case was somewhat similar to 1876 (as far as electoral challenges on state level. Sure, I'd like to see a free national Passport & voter id (as RFK jr & Vivek discuss) for all citizens. And Id like to see all the states buy into some electronic system (based on blockchain?) ; we don't have any problem with nationwide going up to an ATM and getting an accurate count of our bank balance after all ...
This election cannot be diagnosed by thinking like an honest intellectual. The only way to predict this one is to think like an old school bookie or a corrupt lawyer. The problem is that conservatives tend to think with their hearts. Our hearts are either full of love and hope... or fear of tyranny and evil. We currently live in a manufactured reality scripted by deliberate lies. I realize, that every election, is a competition for control...of taxpayer money and standard of living American citizens are imposed with. This is the moment we protect our freedom or relinquish it. The populace has been intentionally dumbed down for this moment. I regret not doing more to educate people on this subject. I'm afraid for the future of our Republic for the first time in my life.
Side note: CO2 has never been the indicator of climate shifts detrimental to humanity. Methane spikes have occurred prior to every major climate catastrophe not caused by impact, eruption or solar flare.
Weinstein is delusional, thinks Trump is going to be radically differnt than he was in 2017-2020. The man who thinks Covid Vaccines were unsafe and in a few years billions will experience serious side effects!!
Regarding Jim's diehard materialism, Jim, I would recommend watching a few videos of discussions with Bernardo Kastrup, I think you would find it interesting.
There are way too many accounts of Trump being very kind and generous to random people he comes across , as well as all of his kids/grandkids being well put-together and clearly adoring him, for Jim's take on Trump's personality to be plausible. As for Jim's number one issue being climate change, this is bizarre for someone as curious and independent-minded as Jim, but real solutions are going to come from innovation in an open market. Red team wins this as well (look at what Elon is doing).
Your post should go viral. Trump's ''kids'' are disgustig humans, as is Trump who has been called a sociopath with a trailer trash bent for 60 or so years. You want to vote for a rapsit, fraudster.....who can barely read or wrtie? Who lost the USA its 1st world status in 2017?
Brett I appreciate you throwing a bone to a small channel like this, but I believe this elderly gentleman is so stuck in his boomer normie morality paradigm that there is just no meeting him on even ground.
My guess Rutt inadequately appreciates that the foundation of Classical Liberalism is significantly christian (Tom Holland emphasizes that point I think). That's my reaction to Rutt's reaction to "christian dominionism" and "christian nationalism". My take on Christianity: it's explicitly anti-theocratic (against the worship of some god-king, be it Augustus or Mao or ..) Good to hear Rutt's opinions are "strongly stated but lightly held". Chesterton: "Angels can fly because of their levity".
Just because Christianity gets some things about humans and social systems right, it does not mean, that everybody who also gets these things right as well is somehow indebted to Christianity or that we couldn't know these things without Christianity. The same goes for all other grand traditions, they all get important things right.
This is one of those conversations that seems to prove that no matter how intelligent and rational we humans think we are, we are all really driven by our emotions and subconscious. We are just rationalization machines, esp when it comes to politics. Skip to the 40 min mark if you want to get to the meat.
@tuckerbugeater Existentialists suck. Absurdist handpuppets replacing REAL hope with meaning making, but I appreciate their attempts anyway because at least they haven't quit yet.
I felt the confirmation bias displayed by Weinstein was pretty noticeable from the start, and seemed to continue through the whole conversation. He even admits that his argument for Harris being a Constitutional threat is really just a conspiracy theory that he made up by himself based off of one report using unnamed sources. Rutt’s arguments seemed to be much more based in verifiable facts and sources but I noticed that all of his complaints about the Dems were really just about different Dem voter blocks and really had nothing to do with Harris Campaign or Biden administration or their stated goals or policy that they have put forth. So a lot of this conversation really seemed to be dealing in hypotheticals rather than well documented fact and recent history. The idea of holding Trump/MAGA movement up as a beacon of healthy positive masculinity seems like a really confused idea to me, lol. But I guess if you have a free complaints or concerns may as well tear everything down and throw an authoritarian in to fix things. Can’t think of any examples in history where that hasn’t gone well. And where is Weinstein getting the idea that Trump will suddenly start elevating people based on their great ideas for society? Does he not understand that the only reason Musk is on stage is because he bought out Trump? I thought Weinstein was supposed to be an impressive thinker?
I’d like to know when Bret learned his brother Eric Weinstein wrote up UN papers rationalizing mass-migration delineating secretive government support would be required : was this before, or after, going on his field-trip to Panama to raise the outcry, pitching his site, channel and schtick about illegal migration?
To be fair to Republicans, EVERYONE'S IQs are dropping due to financial insecurity, supernormal stimulii, modern diet, environmental polutants, etc. To be fair to Bret, IQ is often not interesting to look at...and often a bit distasteful to look at.
