Episode 108 - There's a monster in the streets.

The rise of AI is swiftly on its way, but before that, we have a full plate on the Epoch. We talk about the terrible policies of Maura Healy, more train derailments, the  Twitter debacle that led to Eli Lilly lowering insulin prices, the absolute state of the Supreme court, and the recent death (cancellation) of Scott Adams. Of course, it wouldn't be an Epoch if Jesse didn't wrap up the episode with a bit of dive into the conspiratorial-minded COVID lab leak hysteria. Thank you for listening and visit our Patreon: patreon.com/epicincredulity ---Time Stamp--- 00:00:00 - intro 00:01:39 - AI 00:04:00 - Maura Healy's terrible policies 00:11:15 - A little bit on the MBTA, again -- We know we already talked about this. 00:20:30 - More train derailments 00:25:50 - Eli Lilly changes insulin prices 00:35:15 - The state of the supreme court 00:36:00 - Part 1 - Student Debt cancellation 00:48:15 - Part 2- Section 230 00:52:00 - Child labor 00:58:27 - Scott Adams/Dilbert Cancelled 00:59:50 - COVID Lab Leak hysteria 01:10:00 - Outro and Social Media 01:10:46 - SLAM recommendation 01:15:12 - Extras === Audio Credits === Intro // Primordial Interest:   Title:  How US imperialism works   Video URL:  https://www.youtube.com/shorts/k814XMtMMMY   Channel:  @redstreamnet Cutaway // Thank You For Smoking:   --- Dialogue ---   Title:  Thank You for Smoking (1/5) Movie CLIP - The Joan Show (2005) HD   Channel:  Movieclips   Video URL:  https://youtu.be/yrxRCTUt6OY   --- Background music [*] ---   Title:  Lobby Time   Artist:  Kevin MacLeod   URL:  https://filmmusic.io/song/3986-lobby-time   License:  https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Cutaway // Corporate Capture [background music]:   Title:  Clouds   Artist:  DeBoxBeats   URL:  https://youtu.be/J_UMhocVoNE Cutaway // Java [background music]:   See above [*] Slam Recommendation:   Title:  Krokodil   Artist:  Turbidity   Album:  Orgies Of Sadism   Label:  Brutal Mind   Release date:  August 21st, 2021   Bandcamp URL:  https://brutalmind.bandcamp.com/album/orgies-of-sadism   Home
