0:00.0	IDSG bonus episodes are a regular extra just for Patreon backers of myself or Daniel.
0:06.0	Here's a preview of the new one. If you go back and you look at kind of the dialogue back in like
0:11.5	2015, these kind of like libertarian types were, you know, all about like, you know, kind of just
0:18.4	like being accepting of homosexuality, but like, you know, free markets. And then there was a lot
0:23.6	of talk about stuff like, I don't know if you remember this, there was a bunch of talk about
0:27.6	like universal basic income. And so musk was one of those guys that was like universal basic
0:31.8	income. And behind the scenes, teal was kind of saying stuff like this. And it's really like in
0:36.4	the last couple of years, it's moved to this like, almost like, like, like neo, like feudalism,
