57:32

Mavs Moneyball Managing Editor Kirk Henderson went viral with his letter to Mavericks GM Nico Harrison. Since going viral with text is almost impossible these days, we talked about why Kirk’s heartfelt missive swayed the masses. What the hell went on in Dallas to cause this infamous trade of a superstar? What are the media stories connected to it? Also, how do Kirk and I rank those to blame for the trade in terms of culpability? House of Strauss is a reader-supported publication.

Big Wos of Ringer fame is here to break down what the hell compelled the Mavericks to trade away an MVP level player entering his prime.

HoS: Razib Khan's Big History Reveal 1:46:00

5 weeks назад1:46:00

1:46:00

And now for something completely different … Razib Khan, beyond being a fine friend of pod, is an excellent genetic historian. He’s written a fascinating article about how Europe once had a burgeoning civilization…thousands of years before history as we know it began. We just haven’t understood much about a once thriving continent because these societies were largely wiped out by the people who became “Europeans”. These revelations turn a lot of conventional historical wisdom about ancient history on its head. Quoting Razib: Neolithic Europe was one of Eurasia’s most advanced regions 5,000 years ago, nearly on par with the Near East, matching India and surpassing China in material terms. In some domains, like gold-work, Europe was the pioneer. We may have forgotten this Europe, but it was hardly a backwater. It was a central engine of world civilization 5,000 years ago. Through the magic of modern technology, we’re getting new insights into this lost world. With increasing clarity, we’re also seeing just how brutal human life was in pre modernity. It’s not sports or media exactly, but I just had to discuss this all with Razib. I believe it’s important information and I can’t stop thinking about it. Topics include: * Where everybody came from * How nobody is really from anywhere Thanks for reading House of Strauss! This post is public so feel free to share it. This is a public episode.

Conversation includes but is not limited to… * High status people celebrating the murder of CEO Brian Thompson? * It’s underrated how frequently high functioning people lose their minds * Did ayahuasca compel Sarah to quit her own podcast? * If ayahuasca kills motivation, then why did Sarah do it? * Does living under threat of assassination, as Sarah might, inform perspective? * Are we completely honest in our public transmissions? * Are we more honest in real life or as writers/podcasters? * Why don’t professors, whose system saddles young people in debt, see themselves as oppressors? * What do we think of the politically minded tech libertarian types?…
