Hello and

I'm welcome to the podcast Lodias Eaters for Monday. I'm very sorry to tell you.

Anyway, I'm joined by

Stelios and Harry hello sorry about the Monday not you guys by the way oh yeah

it's okay sorry that we're here right now I'm sorry we're not all in bed

right now not together just like you just having a

lion sorry what I'm just clarifying to make sure people don't misinterpret my

words all right don't do it. All right. Anyway, it's already off to a great start.

Today we're going to be talking about the oycophobia of Veraphagus, our number one concern, which is a whole different thing, and the left don't know things, which I think will be fun.

It should be fun, but also you're both going to be slightly tortured by it so I apologize in advance.

Oh I suppose we shall begin with Verafacas.

Okay so basically Verafacas is touring the UK to promote his new book that talks about how things work in his mind.

I don't think that the reality works this way.

Now, many people in the UK, they thought that Janis Varufakis was basically their ally, their political ally because of his criticisms of the EU.

But it is not the case especially in politics that the enemy of your enemy is always

your friend. Sometimes the enemy of your enemy can also be an enemy. Now I want to talk about several fallacies that people make. One is this one to think that just

because someone criticizes something you criticize that they're on board with what you want to do. And the other bit is the lack of

comparative judgment that many people display when they're talking about things. So for instance,

the fact that someone can have some, you could say valid criticisms of an institution

doesn't mean that they have solutions to offer. So the person who detects problems

isn't always the person who is uniquely equipped to solve them.

You can say that the ceiling needs repairing without knowing how to repair it.
