Random question but did you guys edit Peter’s horse dancing story out of this episode or is it in another one? 🤣

2025-09-04 22:26:08 +0000 UTCThe extra cherry on top is you could make an argument that COVID might not have spread to the extent it did if it weren't for local Wuhan regulators who were more worried about them looking bad than the possibility of a serious disease outbreak. Doctors for the first few weeks reporting new concerning symptoms were told and even threatened by local police to not call it a new virus. Li Wenliang is one of the most dramatic examples. It's a far common origin fed by human hubris. And it's heartbreaking.

2025-08-05 04:40:49 +0000 UTCJosh Rogan is known in the U.S. based China policy analysis world for being a hack. Before he jumped on the lab leak theory train he was big in the "Confucian institutes at universities are successfully brainwashing our children" brigade. An argument that somehow never includes ideas of other ways we could have funded language programs in U.S. education.
