Hey everybody. This is James Lindsay and you are listening to the new Discourses podcast,

and we're going to continue talking about the Nazi experiment.

I'm going to kind of give you a little framing on what we're doing. This is a ongoing series.

so that we can now explore what that racialist worldview actually contains. But I want to

kind of break down why I'm framing it as a Nazi experiment. I also want to kind of as an introduction,
