This week we are devoting a full episode to news, recapping the first week of Donald Trump's second term as president. We discuss the myriad executive orders the president has issued, ranging from his pardons, to his crackdown at the border, to his taking the United States out of the World Health Organization and the Paris Climate Agreement. What are the long term implications of these moves, and is there a light at the end of the tunnel? Is there a tunnel? Are we just now in a cave at the center of the earth? In order to find out, you must listen.

67: You Can Never Break the Chain 46:31

1 day پیش46:31

46:31

This week we are talking about global supply chains and how they might be stretched, perhaps to the breaking point, if the Trump tariffs are allowed to take effect. We revisit the moment when many of us were first introduced to the idea of a supply chain, the early days of Covid-19, and look at how the current potential supply chain disaster differs. We also revisit another cherished memory from recent years, the EVER GIVEN incident, and discuss the ways economists love to use the human body as a metaphor for the flow of global commerce. We open up the episode talking about Trump's menacing promise to reopen Alcatraz, as well as his seeming obsession with movies; and as a prelude to our main topic, we go into his already infamous "2 instead of 30 dolls" comments as the potential for empty shelves come Christmas time already looms. Here are links to some of our sources for the episode: Out of Stock: Supply Chain Crisis (on MAX) Trump staffers panic buying ( Rolling Stone ) Trump on potential dolls shortage ( NY Times ) Waiting for the Supply Shock ( Prospect ) Cumulative Inflation ( BBC ) Send us a text https://www.instagram.com/theendoftheworldwms/ https://youtube.com/@TheEndoftheWorldwMS?si=xmj-2e0s58JdN8-B https://linktr.ee/endoftheworldwithmichaelandstu…

This week we are discussing Ridley Scott's 1982 classic sci-fi noir Blade Runner . While we praise the visual depiction of a post-nuclear-war American city, we both found the plot somewhat difficult to hook into, so to speak. While the essential examination of the question of humanity, and what it would mean for an android to achieve a fully realized humanity, we both had some issues with the way the film attempted to raise this issue. Stu contrasts this with the novel on which the film is based, Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep , which we will be returning to for a full treatment sometime soon. We open the episode going over the recent massive blackouts in Spain and Portugal; another omen of the impending end of the world? Perhaps! This episode contains spoilers for Blade Runner .

This week we are discussing psychics, specifically psychic medium John Edward of Crossing Over with John Edward . This program which ran from 2001 to 2004 purported to connect living people to their dead relatives by means of Edward's psychic mediumship. We go over a brief history of psychics from ancient times to the present before digging into Edward's methods and claims; does he really offer a genuine line of communication between the living and the dead, or is he merely a mediocre practitioner of cold reading who is taking advantage of grieving people in order to acquire wealth and fame? We also get into the century old antagonism between mediums and stage magicians. We open the program by noting the recent passing of Pope Francis I by revisiting a tweet from an old friend, the legendary poster Louise Mensch.

This week we are discussing two recent albums by mainstays of 2000s era indie rock that deal directly and obliquely with climate change, namely Mount Eerie's 2024 release Night Palace and Dirty Projectors/David Longstreth/s t a r g a z e's 2025 record Song of the Earth . We talk a bit about the history of both artists and why it might be that they are turning to considering the question of climate at this perilous moment in our world's history. We also get into topics like Romanticism and Modernism, the role of ambition and fame in undertaking a music career, and the question of didacticism in art. The episode opens with a conversation about Bernie Sanders' recent rally in Los Angeles (at which Dirty Projectors performed) and what future progressive leadership in the United States might have as the second Trump era dawns. Links to the music discussed in this episode can be found below: Mount Eerie/the Microphones the Glow pt. 2 by the Microphones A Crow Looked at Me by Mount Eerie the Microphones in 2020 by the Microphones Night Palace by Mount Eerie Dirty Projectors Slaves' Graves & Ballads by Dirty Projectors The Getty Address by Dirty Projectors Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors Song of the Earth by David Longstreth/Dirty Projectors/s t a r g a z e New Yorker profile of David Longstreth Send us a text https://www.instagram.com/theendoftheworldwms/ https://youtube.com/@TheEndoftheWorldwMS?si=xmj-2e0s58JdN8-B https://linktr.ee/endoftheworldwithmichaelandstu…

This week we are looking at Train to Busan , a 2016 film directed by Yeon Sang-ho. It's a zombie apocalypse movie set on a train moving from the South Korean capital of Seoul to the southern city of Busan. We get into the film's historical overtones, as well as the family drama that plays out amid this unfolding horror show. We open the episode with a discussion of the economic turmoil unleashed by the announcement of Donald Trump's tariff regime. Does the fact that the tariff rates seem to have been (possibly) calculated by a large language model bode well for our future or ill? It's hard to say!

This week we're are discussing Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson's recent book Abundance . This text offers a new vision of the future for the Democratic Party to center as it attempts to claw back power, ignoring for the most part the larger societal issues of wealth inequality in favor of focusing on regulatory changes that could be made to spearhead a new era of American growth and innovation. Suffice it to say, we have a few issues with the book's focus, while also finding within its pages some things to admire as well. We draw on reviews by Matt Bruenig and Malcolm Harris to support some of our own critiques, as well as invoking the sharp analysis brought by the Ones and Tooze Podcast . We open the episode talking about what Michael has learned about a possible recession as he journeys across the country from Los Angeles to Brooklyn; what are the indicators that he is seeing? We also touch on the possibility of that most dreaded of all economic conditions maybe returning to menace us anew: STAGFLATION.

We're talking about the rise and fall of Julius Caesar and the end of the Roman Republic this week, following up on our previous episode. We've got anecdotes about Caesar weeping before statues, his run in with pirates, his war against Vercingetorix in Gaul; all your favorite Caesar stories are here! Plus we also muse a bit on Caesar's death; why did he not take more precautions? Was it a case of suicide by senator? We get into the details, while also touching on the lives of his friends and rivals Pompey, Crassus, and Brutus along the way. We open the episode by discussing the recent mistaken-group-text-invite story from The Atlantic about the Trump administration's plan for attacking the Houthis. Who among us hasn't mistakenly invited a reporter into a private Signal group? We also go over Stu's recently published essay, " Cybernetics and the Evolution of Philosophy ," which came out this week at Do Not Research . Stu closes out the episode by reading some passages from his book Communicatingroups that relate directly to Caesar's assassination. Here is Jeffrey Goldberg's story in The Atlantic about the mistaken group chat invite.

This week we're discussing the run up to the final collapse of the Roman Republic, charting such characters as Scipio Aemelianus, the Gracchi Brothers, Gaius Marius, and Sulla and attempting to map them and their historical circumstances onto some of the events of recent American history. While the analogies are imperfect, there are enough similarities for the comparison to be...troubling. We use the book The Storm before the Storm by illustrious podcaster Mike Duncan as our guide in relating this story, a book the author himself has remarked has only become more timely and prescient now that we have entered the second Trump era. Is Trump the Marius of our moment? Was Biden a failed Sulla? To find out you must listen! We open the episode with a discussion of Senator Chuck Schumer and some of his...missteps of late in leading the opposition to that aforementioned second Trump presidency.

This week we are diving into the weird world of Robert Francis Kennedy, Jr., the newly confirmed Secretary of Health and Human Services in the second Trump administration. We go over his history of environmental activism and chart how this morphed into a profoundly conspiracist worldview that, with him now in control of the levers of power in the American health sector, has the potential to do enormous harm to the well-being of the citizens of this country and indeed the citizens of the world. We honestly had too much material for this episode, and even having gone a bit longer than we normally do, we still left out much that could have been discussed, but we focus in on his vaccine skepticism, his opposition to drinking water fluoridation, as well as his specific criticisms of Dr. Fauci and the governmental response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The sources for our research can be found below. We also discuss some of the wackier incidents involving...animals. We open the episode discussing the recent protests outside Tesla dealerships as well as the efforts to crush free speech being carried out by the Trump administration. We didn't mention it in the episode, but next week we will be diving into the crisis of the late Roman Republic.

This week we are discussing Todd Haynes's film Safe (1995). We get into how the movie explores the creeping sense of meaning being sapped out of suburban life in the late 1980s, focusing on the ways this parallels dilemmas that are manifesting in our contemporary moment. We also go over the film's consideration of "environmental illness" and how this notion of being poisoned by the world in which one lives brings with it attendant psychological challenges. This is one of the best pictures we've covered, but the episode should be legible even if you haven't seen the movie yet, as the plot of the film is really secondary to the beautiful way in which it was made. We open the episode briefly touching on the latest US-Ukraine oval office debacle while also considering the about-to-be-instituted tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico.

This week we are tackling one of Stu's all-time favorite comics, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons's Watchmen . We go through the main characters and discuss the apocalyptic ramifications of this extremely well-wrought tale of a society on the edge of destruction. We also tease out the implications of costumed vigilantism suggested by Moore's text, considering how it is these figures which have such a large place in popular culture have no purchase at all in reality. Would a Watchmen -esque scheme to unite the world work in our current reality, or have things like Covid-19 and climate change proven the folly of this premise in our extremely jaded, partisan, too-online world? We also cover the rise in flu cases across the country and how recent actions by the CDC are not helping with this issue at all. This episode contains spoilers for the graphic novel Watchmen .

This week we are discussing all things CANADA! Specifically, why does President Trump claim it is a "great contender" to become the 51st state? What is it about the US's northern neighbor that is so attractive to the would-be empire builder president? How is this issue playing out in Canada itself? Would a military conquest of Canada result in a brutal insurgency that might destroy the United States itself? All these questions and more are tackled in this episode. We also discuss the recent USA vs Canada Four Nations hockey match and its attendant, immediate fights, as well as the breaking news of a plane crash in Toronto. Articles mentioned in the episode: The New York Times on Trump's Desire for Canada Aisha Ahmad on what a Canadian Insurgency might look like Financial Times on Whether Trump is Serious about annexing Canada The CBC on the potential electoral fallout of Trump's tariff threats Politico on what Trump "really wants" from Canada Send us a text https://www.instagram.com/theendoftheworldwms/ https://youtube.com/@TheEndoftheWorldwMS?si=xmj-2e0s58JdN8-B https://linktr.ee/endoftheworldwithmichaelandstu…

Is Inside "our King Lear " or are we still waiting for the definitive covid-era great work to emerge?

This week we're talking about the first season of the hit Apple TV+ show Severance . We examine the ways the show functions as a reflection of our current, corporation-dominated world, exploring questions of work/life balance as well as the potential abuses inherent in a severance-like procedure. We also ask the all important question: what if severance could go even further? Is the severance procedure merely the first step in a Frankensteinian process moving humanity ever closer to the dreaded singularity? We open the episode with a discussion of recent article by Seymour Hersh regarding the first Trump administration's initial response to the Covid-19 outbreak in late 2019. This episode contains spoilers for Severance Season 1.

This week we are diving back into politics, looking at the platforms of both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, paying particular attention to where each candidate stands on apocalypse-adjacent issues like climate change and military weaponry. The results of our investigation may surprise you! This episode is the first in a series we'll be doing as the 2024 US Presidential election draws ever nearer. We're always hearing that this election is "the most important election of our lifetimes" but maybe, at least as regards potentially world-shaking catastrophes, this time it's true? We also spend the last portion of the episode looking at the efforts of Elon Musk to sway the election in Trump's favor, and wonder whether this might not be the beginning of a dangerous new trend in oligarchically managed democracy in the USA.
