“Yeah. And it's an immunosuppressant. So you should be taking amino acids. You should be taking definitely some electrolytes, but also glutathione. It's a kind of mixed sales pitch. Imagine you were like a rep for an alcohol company. You can have a glass of wine, but you need to take about five supplements at the same time.”

“But the issue is the incentives are baked all the way through. Like when I wrote my book, Uneducated, I remember people saying to me, Oh, are you going to write about the culture wars and education, talking about how the cultural wars affected you in your classroom? I was like, Mate, I was teaching in a fucking ghetto in East London.”

“Yeah. That's not going to happen. It's a different thing. It's like one joint. Like, what is a joint these days, Jamie? You're a young fellow. In California, where you can legally buy them. Probably in the range of $15 to $20. Yeah, $15, $20. You're barbecued for the whole night.”

“Yeah. And it's an immunosuppressant. So you should be taking amino acids. You should be taking definitely some electrolytes, but also glutathione. It's a kind of mixed sales pitch.

“Well, technically you're not lying, but you're lying. You're an Ozempic motherfucker. You know what you're doing. Yeah. It's- Embarrassing. You know, I always feel like when you talk about any issue, a lot of it just comes down to education.”

“And yeah, I think we'll get to that. I think people will realize that's the reality of this. I hope so. Do you know what always gives me hope is that when every time I taught Greek mythology to the kids and we did the Odyssey, everybody got locked in.”

“You know how fucking nuts that is? That's nuts. It's a status thing, I think. We had this great guy on call Will Stork. He wrote a book called The Status Game. Are you familiar with it? Yes. Yeah.

And essentially, he's talking about how society is changing so quickly because of technology and culture shifting radically and people are so anxious.”

Our IdentificationSaid as “The Age of Insecurity”. We believe this refers to The Wisdom of Insecurity: A Message for an Age of Anxiety.
