0:00.0 | Hello everyone, this is James Lindsay listening to the new Discourses podcast and we're |
0:24.4 | going to talk about something sick today. |
0:28.1 | This is a podcast I really should have done a long time ago. |
0:30.9 | I'm going to kind of base this off of a thread. |
0:32.8 | I did on Twitter, apparently, on the 9th of July 2020. |
