He's the male Gwyneth Paltrow selling brain pills instead of Goop. He promotes alt-right and far-right conspiracies. He told people not to get the COVID vaccine. If he just interviewed people -- even people from all sides -- I'd be fine with it. Problem is he promotes dangerous conspiracies and usually ignores fact checking. He's using his influence and authority to do harm. And worst of all, I think he just does it for the ratings.

Some isolated pockets of people would be in areas where it's possible to farm and hunt. Keep in mind I'm talking about the case where we thoroughly trash the planet. Maybe 99% die but as a species we'd probably survive. Personally I'd like us to wise up and keep a technological civilization but one that's sustainable. Not holding out a lot of hope.

Short of engineering a plague I don't think we'll make ourselves extinct but we can very easily wipe out civilization and turn ourselves back into hunter gathers. And it won't be like those post apocalyptic movies where everyone still has good teeth and discover caches of supplies and weapons all the time.

That one really wasn't as obvious at the time. Netflix was in huge debt and hadn't really built their streaming platform yet. In fact streaming was barely possible. Blockbuster should have been able to out-compete Netflix at both dvd by mail and streaming but they screwed it up. Netflix won, but may now end up getting killed by the big studios.

The fastest car over a speed bump isn't a lifted truck with off road suspension, it's my rental car.
