Home run on this one. More Cheese-Cheese, please. And more one-on-one’s with T and a smart/funny guest in general.

I checked on the discord and everyone says it works on their app. One thing that might be a fix is to check if it’s in your downloaded episodes, if so delete it, then try playing it again.

Great ep. Would love to hear T talk more about his own personal political growth. Sounds like he used to be a “conservative” because, like many of us who come from deep blue areas, we aren’t big fans of patronizing white liberalism, also know the right is flawed, but don’t know how else to position ourselves politically when younger. Hopefully that makes sense.

It totally makes sense and aligns with my own experience. But also I think it was a time when I didn’t have the political education to know there was more to politics than just “liberal” and “conservative”. I had a very normie binary mainstream view of politics.

Did you go through a Thomas Sowell/Glenn Loury phase?

Champagne Sharks

Not Glenn Loury but i did really like Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, John McWhorter, and Larry Elder (who wasn’t as bad as he later got at the time I liked him. His current incarnation I wouldn’t have liked even then). I didn’t dislike Glenn Loury I just didn’t know anything about him at that time.

i’m a black man btw. Sorry for the weird profile, it’s for a creative side project. John McWhorter was someone i grabbed on in the 2000s. Think i saw him on MSNBC, but was ultimately disappointed in some of his blind spots in his analysis. He does a podcast now with Glenn Loury, which is why i brought him up. I did some economics in college so Thomas Sowell was a natural read. Did you ever check out any of his books (he’s written a bunch)? For every 1 insightful thing he says, there’s 10 things of bullshit, but i still feel like he’s worth giving more analysis just because he is kind of a unicorn. Poor orphaned black man in pre war Harlem that seemlingly came up from nothing, is a math genius, goes to Harvard and becomes a renowned public intellectual. Even in a meta analysis we can pull out some insights into anti blackness and afro pessimism. I just feel like on the whole we are all too quick to dismiss people we disagree with. If i completely disagree with someone, I can look at why they think what they think, and look at their historical context, and learn from that. Sorry to over explain but when it comes to this topic i don’t want you or anyone to make improper assumptions about my intent.
