Yup. Good to be back.

People don't want to think for themselves, the ability for reasoning is at an all time low, and it is a bi-partisan phenomenon. My wife was outraged that Joe Rogan was an anti-vaxer, because that was what she gleaned from the 2 minute news blast. I told her that I didn't listen to those exact episodes but I was fairly certain that he wasn't personally making those claims, and that people were probably outraged because he gave facetime to some controversial guests. Ultimately that was my take on the recent events. Besides if you get your medical advice from his podcast you are a fucking idiot, and you are probably making the supplement companies rich! If you don't die of covid you will probably just OD on Alpha Brain and Athletic Greens instead. People are outraged because of 1 minute sound bites from the nightly news. I see the same phenomenon with issues that make conservative's blood boil. People are mad as hell, but 9 times out of 10 they only know that their tribe is mad, and they haven't spent any time reasoning out their position themselves.

I joined well after Jo Weber had left the DZ. I was flipping through Max Gunther’s book and found my notes from conversations with Jo. She was quite unique. Some little things I found interesting. She talked to Tina and Flo. She said while Duane was in the hospital they gave him pills, but he didn’t like taking them, so he hid them. She said the dream he had was at home and not the hospital. She talked a lot as many of you can attest to.

Looks like the old band is getting back together...
