The Daily Signal - David Limbaugh on New Left: Americans Must Resist the ‘Tyrannical Bullying’

Identity politics and group mentality is driving the left today, says David Limabugh, author of the new book, “Guilty By Reason of Insanity.”


“You can’t watch an award show without these people obsessing on race, gender, sexual orientation,” Limbaugh says. “That’s all they care about. And that they even wrap that into their Marxist economic idea that it’s all related to oppression and oppressed and oppressor and victim and victimizer. It’s really a negative, sad way to look at the world. And yet that is what drives leftism today.”


We also cover the following stories:

·        President Trump has pardoned this year’s turkeys.

·        A new study shows a surprising numbers of deaths among Americans aged 25 to 64.

·        Robert DeNiro criticizes President Trump as a “fake president.”

Philosophers In Space - 0G82: Dr. Who’s Girl in the Fireplace and the AI Alignment Problem

My usual urge to be snarky here is tempered by concern that we're already about to get teabagged into some hot water for our treatment of the good Dr. Who. Please forgive us our Yankness, and maybe consider a more moderate position for your media output, somewhere between 6 episodes a show and 6,000. Feels like there's room for some middle ground there. Oh right, enough meta banter, we watched Dr. Who season 2 episode 4 of the rebooted version, so the one with David Tennant. We discuss how the story is a classic case of misaligned AI and recommend several ways to better tune your AI so they don't cronenberg your ship. Enjoy!
