January 21, 2022 01:00 - 30 minutes - 21.1 MBDane kicks Episode 42 off by wrongfully referring to it as Episode 41, but otherwise swan dives directly into his target topic: a psychotic result of the Chinese Communist Party's illogical "Zero-Covid Policy" (the unbelievable premise that 100% of all covid viruses could be eliminated across the entirety of China and their properties), the senseless killing of THOUSANDS of innocent Hamsters and small pets by Hong Kong government authorities (so far).

November 13, 2021 20:00 - 28 minutes - 19.4 MBDane reads the philosopher Schopenhauer's thoughts on Smart People versus "the pathetic commonplace heads with which the world is crammed," and how that too-heavy-on-the-wrong-side spectrum plays out in societal interactions.
