    The only way to have this "optimistic" vision is we need representatives to call out the masters who own our elected officials. In other words, Democrats calling out the stench in their own party; likewise with Republicans. Currently, there are no independent thinkers in both parties. Tragic.

It sounds great and looks great, and those two things are necessary to not only NOT distract people from the narrative, but to make the messaging clearer on an unconsciously-perceptible level.

    I agree with so much of this, bit to spend so much time talking about the dangers of tribalism but also to paint "the right" as the peril is such a facepalm.

    This guy at times comes across as a misinformation agent on behalf of the ruling class. The title of his last book says it all; The people vs democracy. It obfuscates the real picture which is that people deprived of resources naturally become more inclined to turn to a strong-man-figure like Trump for help - and that that then can end up threatening democracy. (This was even Yang's core message.) It also obfuscates the the fact that the true struggle that determines how well a democracy works is the class struggle.

    I paused around minute 10 to say, the problem with this line of thinking is that it is almost devoid of historical context. There's a gulf between "tribalism" on the one hand (and activities/behaviors that can be attributes to that aspect of "human nature" or human tendency), and historical racism in the other (and all the biases that result from that... including issues surrounding class differences, which, you have only glossed over.

    Humans cannot appropriate human culture.
    Too many people blindly use segregationist terms to refer to people in society and the world like "black/white people", and then use this archaic labelling to justify and reinforce stigmas and stereotypes.
    Cultural appropriation? How? The science has revealed all humans come from the same ancestors in Africa anyways, so wouldn't that just make us all kin from the jump? And if not due to time, then at what point do you call us different, and based on what?
    Every human alive today come from people that "culturally appropriated" in that case, because we're all bound to admit the ancestral mathematics is fact. 2, 4, 8, 16, on and on, so our civilizations have been built on ideas from others without recognition of the histories, for millennia.
    What we need to do is stop allowing hate to divide people, maybe then we can focus more so on global cooperation to eradicate poverty and look after the world. It's really just reinforced prejudices that prevent this from happening.

      I somewhat disagree. Having Dave Chapelle as guest is not the answer. One of the problems with his podcast is he is trying too hard to re-brand "centrism". He recently brought up the "unity ticket" between Lincoln and A. Johnson. Twitter audience dogpiled him because of the historical consequences and yet, AY doubled down saying the "unity" idea is still a good idea. It is amazing how he failed to understand that both major parties are corporate bought and support various industrial complexes. It is incredibly unfortunate that the Populist Right invaded the capitol for the wrong reason. Imagine if the insurrection was about ending the endless wars; M4A; ending Wall Street bailouts. Because our elected representatives in Congress do not really represent us voters. AY has done a poor job of not calling them out. He needs someone as guest to challenge his ideas.

Meaning "white" is a makeshift ideology that has lasted a small while, about 400 years, but is in the shadow of the thousands of years before it where Europeans never referred to themselves as "white".
      It's good that I can say this for instance, and there's nothing you can do about it.
