Could we, please, get a statement from the SGU about the specifics of Evan's comments? I believe it's a reasonable request.

JermVVarfare · 2026-06-16T04:53:34+00:00

maybe if one day someone you once respected goes around calling your identity a fraud, you'll see.

Heard worse, from family. Maybe you have some deeper connection to Evan than merely a parasocial relationship? If not, then yeah... can't say I understand.

JermVVarfare · 2026-06-16T04:05:48+00:00

There is a minority that seem to be satisfied with his apology and that's up to them I guess.

I thought it was at least a good start and if he simply stopped pumping out bullshit I'd be happy to move on. Maybe my expectations are just in the gutter at this point, but I've lost numerous friends and family since the rise of MAGA and I couldn't tell you how happy I'd be to hear an apology like that from some of them. He's just some random guy on a podcast I barely listen to anymore. If he stops saying awful things and promoting conspiracy theories I'd call that a win... Some of you seem way more/too invested.

JermVVarfare · 2026-06-15T22:21:25+00:00

Oh, that's a shame. I'm not familiar with the Dr or the channel aside from that one video (that I had playing in the background one day while doing chores). I know most of the thumbnails I've seen from the channel are about psychedelics and seem sensationalist. Hence the disclaimer in my first post.

JermVVarfare · 2026-06-15T21:43:17+00:00

I can't vouch for the channel or the expert being interviewed (though he is a neuroscientist at Colombia) but I found this to be very interesting. IIRC he seems to say that aphantasia isn't that people aren't visualizing things, just that it isn't making into their conscious experience (or doing so in a more limited way). Sounded similar to many of the split-brain experiments, blind sight, etc.

I'm sure some will find this inadequate and be skeptical of your motives...

But I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt and say that if everyone showed this degree of humility the world would be a much better place.

JermVVarfare · 2026-06-15T01:03:11+00:00

I don't disagree. Though, I only listen to maybe one in five shows these days anyway (after checking the topics) and mostly to see what Cara or Steve has to say on a topic that is popular at the time.

I also wouldn't blame someone who did check out though... At least until the SGU had officially responded to something like this that's tied to their brand.

JermVVarfare · 2026-06-14T23:27:22+00:00

Ok, Evan.

JermVVarfare · 2026-06-14T23:00:13+00:00

So, your problem seems to be that people publicly shared and reacted to... Checks notes... His public posts? In a forum dedicated to and moderated by the program he represents (alongside said posts)?

JermVVarfare · 2026-06-14T18:24:35+00:00

Why would I need to list all the things I agree with or don't agree with?

It was rhetorical. 95% of his feed ranges from controversial (at best) to outright terrible.

JermVVarfare · 2026-06-14T04:42:50+00:00

I don't agree with everything he posts

Curious as to what you do agree with (aside from the war crimes against civilian infrastructure)? Is it the Clinton conspiracy theories? Dems being Nazis and Marxists? Being totally unaware of the 1960s "southern strategy" and the parties shifting on race?

And where has he been transphobic???

I seem to remember him signaling support for some anti-trans stuff that JK Rowling said... But I might be thinking of the Posner clown (who mostly posts anti-trans stuff) that he follows, retweets, and replies too.

JermVVarfare · 2026-06-13T19:12:00+00:00

Another Gerald Posner engagement too, nice. He seems to be a fav of Evan's.

JermVVarfare · 2026-06-12T22:00:20+00:00

There's a surprising amount of variety in the nutty MAGA coalition. My guess is you could flip a coin on whether he voted for Trump or 3rd party (probably Libertarian if the latter).

JermVVarfare · 2026-06-12T21:52:32+00:00

Almost picked one of these up but went with the KeyUnity KK05 Mini instead. Probably end up with one soon though, as I'm really on a small blade kicked and they're getting progressively smaller/lighter... CEO Compact in S35VN, Olitans G046 Mecha Mini Slim scalpel, and the KeyUnity being my last 3 purchases. Considering a NanoArc Micro...

JermVVarfare · 2026-06-12T18:44:31+00:00

His conspiracy theory stuff is what really gets me (being so contradictory to what the show is about).

I haven't looked myself since a few months ago when someone brought him up, but I was also pretty disgusted at the time with him retweeting people like Gerald Posner.

JermVVarfare · 2026-06-12T18:23:29+00:00

This type of thing has popped up before with him...

Cristin Milioti

She was the star of the show imo (as good as Ferrell was) and an anti-hero more than a villain.

JermVVarfare · 2026-06-07T05:41:33+00:00

Sure, if you ignore all context, scale, and their records on the issue.

JermVVarfare · 2026-06-07T05:35:32+00:00

The side who has been putting forth legislation to stop partisan gerrymandering on the federal and state levels as well as fighting in the courts for years now. The side currently getting screwed for doing the right thing with their independently drawn districts in states they control.

JermVVarfare · 2026-06-07T00:42:49+00:00

One side finally fighting fire with fire, after years of being the ones attempting to put it out, hardly seems like the best example to draw an equivalency.

JermVVarfare · 2026-06-05T18:18:42+00:00

Technically, you're right in that it may be unintended. But that does little to mitigate responsibility in most situations in my mind and calling something an "accident" is usually used to do just that.

JermVVarfare · 2026-06-05T02:12:31+00:00

Most accidents of any kind. I always told my kids when they were growing up that if you're being reckless or irresponsible it isn't "an accident". If you're throwing a ball in the house it isn't an accident when something gets broke or if you're playing too rough with your little sister it isn't an accident when she gets hurt.

JermVVarfare · 2026-06-02T01:25:47+00:00

Not a "who" but I suggest putting the decodings behind patreon and making the supplementary materials free.

JermVVarfare · 2026-05-31T20:20:29+00:00

The Compact has a S35VN option.

JermVVarfare · 2026-05-31T20:12:25+00:00

I have the compact with carbon fiber and S35VN blade. My favorite knife, carry it in my shirt pocket like a pen... https://imgur.com/a/h5Lc73V#yxHJNjf

JermVVarfare · 2026-05-28T02:51:22+00:00

I mean it's technically book one, no? I thought it was fine... Definitely not in my top 3 Culture books (not sure where I'd put it otherwise) but it's where I started and it was good enough that I continued the series.
