| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to seriously and queries only. This is episode 515. I'm your host, Thomas Smith, and I'm going to be continuing my discussion of this 62 million |
| 0:22.8 | men Rape Academy thing. So if you didn't listen to Part 1, you're going to be very confused by |
| 0:28.1 | that sentence, but definitely listen to that part 1. There's a lot more to talk about. I also |
| 0:32.4 | really want to talk about the information environment, just so many things, and some observations I'm having, |
| 0:38.3 | and I just, I'm constantly thinking about this, especially because it seems like the main |
| 0:43.4 | problem in our world. Like, it's just everything else, almost everything else, I think, |
| 0:49.7 | is downstream from this information environment problem. And it's sort of on theme with the |
| 0:54.8 | assassination conspiracy theories because I just think people think we can just have this |
| 1:01.6 | environment and have these theories and it doesn't harm anything, but I think it's deeply |
| 1:05.7 | harmful. I think we have to get our information environment back somewhat. I just think it's necessary. We're not we're not going to win. I think we have to get our information environment back somewhat. |

| 1:26.9 | Like, they're fundamentally, everything else is secondary when you're trying to convince, |
| 1:35.3 | you know, it's like when I've had to get on people I podcast with for their mics not working |
| 1:40.3 | sometimes in my past. |
| 1:42.1 | It's like, it doesn't matter how good your information is if your |
| 1:45.0 | fucking mic's broken. Like, that doesn't matter. You could be the best purveyor of information on the |
| 1:50.9 | planet. But if your mic's broken, that's nothing. You will not be heard. In the same way, |
| 1:59.3 | that's what's happening with our politics. I mean, our mics are |
| 2:01.7 | broken, man. And it's killing me. There's more I want to talk about, it's branching off, I won't |
| 2:06.5 | go into it. But the more I see the constant narrative of like, the left is gone too far, the left is |
| 2:13.4 | gone too far. That's even baked into like the left now and it's all bullshit. And it's because |
