Adam and Bob Murphy have a whole lot to say about the recent Dave Smith vs. Douglas Murray showdown on the Joe Rogan Experience. You don't want to miss these spicy takes! Enjoy!

00:00 -- Intro. It's Dave vs Douglas on JRE!
01:33 -- Adam and Bob start off with some initial impressions of the Dave v Douglas debate. Was Douglas Murray just trying to be provocative to sell books?
09:12 -- Comparing and contrasting Douglas here vs at the Monk debate vs. Malcolm Gladwell. What is the psychology of the viewer/listener in these debates? Also, hat tip to Glenn Greenwald.
19:54 -- Does a person have to visit a region to discuss events going on there? Or, more broadly, does one need a grounding in "lived experience" to voice an opinion? Douglas Murray vs Douglas Murray! Also, Bob has charts on the underlying issue: how "brutal" was the blockade on Gaza?
33:52 -- What does it mean to "have boots on the ground" when you're just a partisan being taken on a tour of Potemkin villages? Who was the expert on the Soviet Union? Walter Duranty?
37:41 -- What is a "concentration camp"? Also, what is the stupidest argument ever made? Adam and Bob use ridicule to demonstrate.
44:10 -- What caused the Ukraine war? Appeals to authority. When should we "trust" statements made by people we don't like? Mis-quoting Vladimir Putin.
51:33 -- What does "agency" mean when discussing "populist protests" that are seeded by outside actors?
55:12 -- Is it racist to mention the names "Wolfowitz" and "Perle" in the context of US foreign policy? Also, why is AI racist?
1:17:31 -- Douglas denounces Daryll Cooper (and Dave Smith) while admitting he's never listened to their content.
1:23:36 -- Douglas the weasel thinks "we" haven't been at "war" for the last 25 years. He also displays a bunch of very weak and disingenuous debate tactics.
1:31:33 -- Adam thinks Douglas makes a good point -- in a completely un-self-aware way.
1:35:01 -- What is "the fog of war"? How should we think about it in regards to history?
