“You can’t print more planet.” What a great line.

Mark, you missed it. Noah looks at the floods in Germany and says "We're gonna need a bigger boat."

The space race is similar to the yacht bubble of the Glided Age

"I did write a book about that you know" - CLASSIC. That's immediately what I thought about too. It's a good book.

This is an amazing cast, thank you so much.

Getting vaccinated can be harder than some would think. Here in my town getting a vaccination appointment has to be done online. Not everyone has a computer or a phone or is even computer literate. Then once you get an appointment it’s a 20 minute drive to get to the vaccination site. If you don’t have a car or a phone or a friend, then you are not going to get a shot. Assuming that everyone can access a shot is not real from a logistical viewpoint. Then there is the whole anti-vaxing thing and I have no sympathy there because I had a childhood where the polio vaccine stopped a very real threat to my generation. Someone with a viewpoint other than mine is needed for outreach to that bunch but that isn’t happening either. We now have the highest number of daily cases yet and it seems to be from the delta variant. What I am seeing is that our society has become calloused enough to just accept another layer of misery to our lives and that is the new normal.

Jeff Bezos thanking the Amazon customers and his Amazon workers for him to go to the top of the world is called "hubris" Carrie, simple as that (time stamp 28:42).

The myths of our economic order are becoming more and more difficult to believe in. As Carrie said, "people are pissed".

More of these!!!

Addendum to the Simone Biles discussion, in Japan ADHD medication does not have a therapeutic use exemption, so not only did Simone not have her medication but also was one of the women that testified about the abuse she suffered for that pedo doctor.

21:47 The audio graphic completely flatlines for the remaining 11 minutes of the episode. What does that _mean,_ exactly?

Mark got the Noah thing all wrong. In these times, Noah would open a DYI boat building website and offer franchise opportunities.

I'm disappointed to see so many comments censored.

Good news: It's as good right now as it's going to be for a long long time. (satire)

There's no "going back to normal" anymore.

Bruce Cockburn's "The Trouble with Normal" well worth a listen.

Sadly oz is struggling in the Olympics positive maybe we can focus on the reef

Normal person at the Olympics... I always think of Eddie "the Eagle" Edwards when that topic comes up.

Simone admitted in 2016 that she suffers from ADHD and medicates with Ritalin. This came out because she had to get a waiver from the IOC and Australia to use and bring the drug into Australia. Japan has a zero tolerance policy with neurological pharmaceuticals. Simone and the USNWT were hoping for a waiver, but Japan wouldn't budge. So, Simone isn't able to perform because she doesn't have access to her meds, and she's going through withdrawal. If Japan gave her the waiver, like Australia did, this would never be an issue. But this should be expected from an organization, that has literally changed the rules of women's gymnastics after 2016, to demerit Simone's performance because she's just that much better than everyone else.

I was one of the people who was asked to isolate myself by the app 🤣

Thanks, both! Entertaining and informative, as ever. BTW - climate-wise, this isn't the horror. These past (say) five years will appear from say 2030 to be the last cool years. When things were 'only' as bad as the pat few. Just thought I'd mention. Life will never be this easy again. Enjoy!

Mark recently made reference to a book written by a colleague of his. The book apparently looks at how most economics is about the lessor-lessee construct. Please help me with the title of the book. I actually need it for a case that I am working on. Thanks.

Mark: "You can't print more planet." Geologists: "Hold my beer..."

I did see many new wind generator blades lined up at Port Aransas last week awaiting transportation and install, believe they are imported from Germany. That and solar farms in the area shows there is some activity in a green direction.

Besides electric vehicles, what about the size and weight of vehicles in the US? Regarding water, we seem to be able to use a pipe to move oil halfway across the country.

When elites always gets their way and all the signs align. The apocalypse is not far away.

Thank you for explaining reverse repo so instead of raising interest they have found a way to slip a little more to banks that hold federal bonds.

Simone Biles' entire job was to compete in the Olympics for the US. I don't care if she got 1st (or even 2nd or 3rd). But I think to just sit everything out is a little selfish (...she took what could've been someone else's spot): she was there for her country, and only thought about herself. (That said, in other situations, I completely support people taking time off for mental health.)

The return of "Bennifer" is reverting to the meme ...

if Americans have distrust of the govt then why does UK & EU need mandates too?

27:15 "pissedonomics"

Let us talk about Data.

Seriously, who is to say the aliens aren't here among us right now in plain sight?

umm, Greece hosted the Olympics, not that long ago.

"We not going to solve anything.."--Carrie! Ah! Time to use the seed corn for popcorn and sit down for the latest sci-fi which turns out to be reality..."This is the end, of our elaborate plans the end!"

Asking for censorship will always backfire on you.

If they had a guest on the podcast? Sounds like it’s getting dull for them. What sort of a person would make it just different enough?

Its not that carbon capture isn't economical, its just that it doesn't work at all. We need solutions that look like "stop digging up carbon".

In this video you can experience a very prevalent phenomenon going on right now on earth. These are smart people who are well spoken but who are in fact in the very deepest form of waking sleep or more accurately in a powerful hypnotic trance, COMPLETELY disconnected from Truth. As in 100% gone. The connection is CUT. This always transpires prior to a mass consciousness shift/awakening.

Cause censoring misinformation never went wrong

the earth already had 5 major extinctions, we are creating nr 6.the Anthropocene and the end of the human experiment

"I forgot about the fact that they are athletes" (time 17:45). Yes they are athletes at the top of their game who get zero salary. Not a hater comment, but you grew up in a different world to me. Unfortunately for me as an observer of "observers' it was a weak comment. Fortunately, I will assume it was a paraprax, because you have never reduced people to a single marketable skill before.

You can't compare polio to covid 😂

I really don't have sympathy for athletes that drop out. Tons of jobs that have no pressure janitors no one wants to interview them, roofers dont have to answer to sponsors. But Simone knew that the eyes of the world would be on her. If she dosent want that pressure dont try out for olympic team. She a smart girl start a bussiness no sponsors would care then.

If we come to find out the the protein production in the body doesn't slow down as time goes on in those that were vaccinated, then the support for them in this episode wont age well

Polio is a terrible comparison

“You are the data”.... nice one, cognitive dissonance is a bit**

Mark got just about every important detail wrong in his pingdemic explainer. Bloody Yanks!
