Summary
The absolute man-babies who make up the anti-woke movement are always crying about some very minor thing that makes other people's lives better and is no actual burden to them, but is different than the past. This week, that thing happens to be... ASL interpreters at press conferences and such? It's hard to imagine how sensitive you'd have to be to have a problem with this, but their victimhood complex gives Dr. Jenessa Seymour a chance to teach us some really interesting science! It turns out, ASL interpreters are very necessary and closed captioning is not sufficient. There's so much here that you might not have considered before!

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to serious and queries only. |
| 0:14.6 | This is episode 472. |
| 0:16.1 | I'm your host, Thomas Smith, and I'm so excited to bring you another episode. |
| 0:19.6 | Thanks so much for tuning in. |
| 0:22.1 | This one is a bit of a kind of like a tweener of where there's woke and serious and queries only, but I think you'll see |
| 0:26.8 | why I'm hosting it here on SIO. It starts out as an anti-woke nonsense around sign language and |
| 0:34.3 | interpreters. But along the way, Dr. Janessa Seymour is here to teach us a lot about |
| 0:39.7 | why those interpreters you see at press conferences and other functions like that are actually |
| 0:45.0 | very, very important and more than you might think and for reasons you might not necessarily |
| 0:49.3 | think. So come for the stupid anti-woke controversy and stay for the education. Ooh, I also want to say, Janessa was kind enough to record a bonus. |
| 0:57.4 | This is a Patreon bonus episode. |
| 0:59.4 | You might have seen recently some coverage about a poll that purports to show that Gaza or Israel |
| 1:05.4 | policy costs Kamala the election. |
| 1:07.9 | And I thought, who better to analyze that than Janessa, who not only is a science-minded |
| 1:12.8 | person who can read things like this and stats and all that, but also works in voting rights. |
| 1:17.3 | So she has special insight into that. So if you go to patreon.com slash serious pod, you can find out |
| 1:23.0 | whether or not the polling shows that Gaza cost Harris the election. And if you go there, you can also |
| 1:29.3 | avoid the auto ads, which you're about to hear right now. We're going to take a break. |
| 1:32.7 | Please support the show at patreon.com slash serious pod. And after this break, we'll get to it. |
| 1:43.1 | Janessa Seymour, welcome back to, even though this is a bit of an anti-woke thing, |
| 1:49.5 | welcome back to SIO, serious inquiries only. |
| 1:52.1 | How's it going? |
