I can't be the only person who, by the end of this episode, took the information that Christian is voice acting on the side and had a sudden vision of Red Web making an animated show where Christian is a noir style detective in a dystopian future hired by an underground rebellion to help stop the AI from Roko's Basilisk which has gone rogue... Someone please back me up on this. I peeked into HQ's writer's room... the lights are off and the coffee has gone bad...

I am so impressed we have someone who didn't know about the game! It is Fredo, but still. ๐Ÿ˜…

I was surprised just how surprised Trevor was that Alfredo has never heard of the game. This is the same man who didn't know what fupa was, or what a buttfor is.

Info hazards remind me of memetic hazards from the SCP universe.

Knowledge is power and too much power can be dangerous, but that why we drink from the sippy cup of knowledge ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Dammit Trevor, it's been years! Happy 200 yall โค๏ธ๐Ÿ•ธ

The lack of inclusion of cognitohazards/anti-memes disappointed me. Yes, they're harder to find real world examples of, but is there a greater infohazard than one that harms you just by perceiving it?

Damn it

Also in light of this episode, and being the movie podcast about mysteries, I HIGHLY recommend watching a movie called โ€œAfter the dark.โ€ Short synopsis, itโ€™s about a philosophy class whoโ€™s teacher positโ€™s the question โ€œin the event of an atomic apocalypse you have a bunker that can only allow X number of people into it, who do you allow in to increase the survival rate of mankind?โ€ he then randomly assigns backgrounds to each of the students ex. you could be an astronaut or you could be a gardener etc. Fascinating movie. Great show this week guys, congrats on 200!!!
