The Impending Energy Crisis and What to Do About It | Jesse Peltan Nov 04, 2025

Show notes

Do not be deceived by Jesse Peltan's age. Referred to as Elon Musk's energy consigliere, the man is a living encyclopedia of all things energy-related. But he's not merely an encyclopedia; he's razor-sharp with thoughtful, feasible solutions to our impending energy crisis. Jesse on X:

Paraphilias, Deception, & SHOCKING Trans Medical Scandals | Mia Hughes Oct 29, 2025

Show notes

In this conversation, Mia Hughes and I discuss transgender procedures and the language and obfuscation that allows them to occur (especially on children). We also discuss insane stories that she has uncovered while researching transgender issues.

I found this conversation with Mia Hughes fascinating and deeply disturbing. This is the fourth conversation I've had with Mia and the second Spectrum Street Epistemology we've done together.

Immigration Is THE Problem of Our Time w/ Lionel Shriver Oct 21, 2025

Show notes

Rarely have I met anyone whose beliefs and broad view of the world comport so well with my own. So, it was a genuine pleasure to sit down with Lionel Shriver in person (our last interview was online, and I don't like those nearly as much) and solve some of the world's problems.

Automation Will COMPLETELY DISRUPT the World w/ Farzad Mesbahi Oct 18, 2025

Show notes

Farzad Mesbahi is an expert on Tesla and futurism. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation. Discussions of trans, Muslim immigration, the death of the West, the decline of civilization, political assassinations, and such take a toll on me. So, it's refreshing to switch gears (pun intended) and discuss some optimistic futurism with a genuine expert.

Muslim Migration FAILURE in Western Europe w/ Raymond Ibrahim Oct 02, 2025

Show notes

Raymond Ibrahim is a no-nonsense historian and blunt commentator on Islam and its intersections with the West. He pulls no punches. We strolled through Central Park on a crisp summer afternoon, in deep conversation.

We walked, sat (as we both are getting over a knee injury), and conversed about everything from the historical roots of Islamic ideology to the crumbling facades of modern societies. Sometimes the best way to unpack complex ideas isn't in a sterile studio, but on a walk in the park.

Do Humans NEED Belief? W/ Brett Hall Oct 02, 2025

Show notes

I have a specific point of disagreement with my friend Brett Hall, the Australian science educator, renowned podcaster, and consigliere to figures like David Deutsch and Naval. And while we have broad agreement on a number of issues and even share a core identical epistemological commitment (Truth), we do have a more than pesky disagreement: What role, if any, should belief, including using the word "belief," play in one's epistemology and vocabulary?
