Summary

It's our bi-annual mailbag episode, where Producer Jake presents listener questions to Danny and Derek. Among the topics of this edition: If hierarchy is inevitable in human societies, how does status not based on wealth work? What would a US weapons embargo on Israel look like? Has neoliberal atomization led to a decline in the popularity of bands? What are Derek's bird feeding tips? Subscribe now for benefits like mailbag submissions, weekly bonus episodes, and our new Discord server! Speaking of the Discord, listeners have formed a book club that sends the following message: "PrestigeHeads are organizing a book club for AP subscribers around military historian Donald Stoker’s 2024 book Purpose and Power: U.S. Grand Strategy from the Revolutionary Era to the Present. It will likely be a critical reading given Stoker’s affiliations and ideology, but the book should provide ample fodder for discussion. The plan is to read at most 50 pages a week and have ongoing discussions on the AP Discord for each chapter. We have people on board to read the introduction and first chapter by Friday, December 6th." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

1:01.8	Yeah, no, it's wild.
1:03.2	And I imagine there's going to be diminishing returns on those.
1:06.1	But, I mean, only time we'll tell.
1:08.0	So what is this?
