And wouldn't it be interesting if the Nazis knew about LSD, for example? Right. So I'm already operating from a perspective of wouldn't it be interesting if the Nazis knew about LSD? So anything I look at, I'm hoping that it will support that. Meanwhile, it's very easy to ignore large amounts of evidence that don't support that. And it's just a critical thinking exercise in general.

I know it's less fun to talk the way that I'm talking. I'm sympathetic to the funness of exploring these ideas, but more and more as I see our culture fractured by...

delusions of one kind or another and a lack of critical thinking skills i feel less sympathetic to the the playful non-critical reinterpretation of the world like using the world as this kind of fanfic canvas to paint whatever narrative that you want i mean that's one of the nice things about fiction is you can explore these ideas and you don't need to pretend that they are

True, whereas I feel like there's a tendency where people use these same sorts of Idea like a what a fiction writer might do but they project it onto Reality, right and this is like the new way that people tell stories.

You know, I think that it is you said you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. I think that culturally we can develop an appreciation for carefully constructed ideas that are responsibly bounded by the limits of evidence. And. And when you have something like that, then it's all the more interesting because it's real. You're not playing games with imaginary ideas.

And again, I say this as someone who is extremely sympathetic to the excitement. I can't tell you how many of these things I've had myself. One that I've been looking at for years that's very fringe is this idea that astrology has been weaponized by the government, right?

And there is some evidence for this. Right. And you can even make a case that is evidence based, but somewhat tenuous that the entire Reagan administration war on drugs was astrologically mediated.

Yeah. It's pretty wild where you have Nancy Reagan was an actress, was a kind of low-level actress, and is sort of like a character who is sort of analogous to Melania Trump in a lot of ways, where she... wasn't taken seriously. Everybody's making fun of her.
