And that Lex had a naive childish (IMHO) view of the world. Totally agree. I’m sure he’s a great scientist, but he has the kind of naive optimism about the world that college students have and usually shed, eventually. At the same time, this makes him kind of charming and as long as he can continue...

I wasn’t trying to convey urgency but the idea of you not giving your reaction to the other two series.

You gave me more than three.

Yes, along with Vanguard. Asset holders + homeowners are the most powerful lobby . They arent going to allow assets to drop nominally in USD, for very long. The governance issues are interesting, with Blackrock and Vanguard CEOs voting on your behalf https://old.reddit.com/r/Bogleheads/comments/147...

Well, how about you just give me your reaction to Coleman.

When I get to it.

Went through all the recommendations that I have so far received. Are there any missing from below? Capture.JPG I don’t recommend Harry Shearer or Scott Adams. They’re guilty pleasures. I definitely recommend Conversations with Coleman. So noted. When I finally get to them I will give you my reacti...

40 Minutes in the Old Testament

Listened to these 5.

One thing I'm finally remembering to note is that I love the intro / concluding music that is on these 1517 Podcast Network podcasts. Excellent rock music!

Vinny, FWIW, the Overcast podcast app I previously mentioned lets you make playlists of different episodes of all the different podcasts. The playlist can be as long as you want, hours and hours or more. That is one of the reasons why I like that app. Secondly, it is very easy to skip an episode if...

Christian History Almanac

Not even bothering with these. Way, way too short. Too low a ratio of content compared to the time listening and having to spend to get to each episode.

Talks With Dad Rod Listened to all of these (one of them twice because I could not initially remember if I'd already listen to it) from the most recent going back to September 25, 2023. Definitely held my interest but the episodes are all too short. Far too little time to develop the message. I'm s...

White Horse Inn

Listened to all of the first two and almost all of the third (again ran out of time).

The four hosts are quite good and the overall quality is along the line of The Thinking Fellows.

The Humble Skeptic podcast by Shane Rosenthal Thinking Fellows Listened to all the below today. All quite good. My next comment is going to be somewhat ironic given the title of "The Humble Skeptic" but I found the "The Humble Skeptic" quite arrogant in the certainty expressed by the hosts and his ...

The Humble Skeptic podcast by Shane Rosenthal Listened to the first two in their entirety. Part of the third (ran out of time). My comment on the first one with the book author is that to make his points he used way too much anecdotal examples and extrapolated from tiny samples. Overall for all of ...

I don’t really have trouble on my desktop. I’m starting to think it’s my ipad that’s getting wonky. What version of iPad are you using? My two iPad 1's are still both going strong though they no longer can do certain things due to Apple's policy of Planned Obsolescence. But I'm fairly certain I wil...

I just noticed that this topic has had over 1.3 million views! That is a lot considered how many active participants are here. Is there anywhere available the top ten topics with the most views?
