if you can get your hands on Juvenile Lyre, L-Y-R-E, that book that it was originally in, I think the notes are in there.

He wrote a book in 2013 called Feral that basically called for rewilding.

He basically goes on to destroy any argument about, well, that's a kid that you see in a pond. You're actually physically saving that kid.

It's easier. It is easier. You don't even have to get wet. You just call in your credit card basically.

He will really turn like the hot plate up under you and just really make you feel uncomfortable.

He's saying like this is my philosophical argument, and it's pretty sound if you hear me out. And if you hear him out, it is pretty sound.

He wrote that paper, Famine, Affluence and Morality, which basically provides the general contours of the effective altruist movement.

He basically goes on to destroy any argument about, well, that's a kid that you see in a pond. You're actually physically saving that kid.

He's like, well, it's so easy to donate to help a child on the other side of the world right now that for all intents and purposes, it's as easy as going into a pond to save a kid these days.

It's easier. You don't even have to get wet. You just call in your credit card basically. Yes, you know?

So he just destroys like any argument you could possibly have.

So read that too and just see what you think. See what you think about yourself too.

It's one of those ones you just kind of go back and reread. Very like easy, slim volume. It's called No Mud, No Lotus. And it basically says like without suffering, you can't have happiness and vice versa.

Pretty basic stuff, but like he really gets into explaining how to confront suffering and understand that it's just part of life.

This book just always stuck with me. The Return of Martin Guerre by Natalie Zeman Davis.

It was a great, great book.

She was the consultant on that, the historical consultant on that film.

And part of that book, part of her big contribution, she made tons of contributions to the historical record, turned up a lot of great documents and everything.

But subjectively, her big contribution was completely altering the way people saw Bertrand.

Okay. A hot, sexy undergrad. Boy, were you. In learning my history. Yeah. I can't remember what class. It must have been a European history class. But this book just always stuck with me. The Return of Martin Guerre by Natalie Zeman Davis.

It was assigned as part of the class. It was a great, great book.

And she was so put off by the retelling of this story that she published her book two years afterward.

And part of that book, part of her big contribution, she made tons of contributions to the historical record, turned up a lot of great documents and everything. But subjectively, her big contribution was completely altering the way people saw Bertrand.

Up to this point, she was a loyal, chaste, devoted wife who would end up being duped, you could say, as we'll see very soon. And under Natalie Zemon Davis's reading of her, she was a very shrewd woman who figured out how to navigate within the confines of a male-dominated, middle-aged French society.

And it seems like he might have even, like Dave may have possibly been an inspiration for what ended up being the Jeffrey Pilcher book, Planet Taco, colon, a global history of Mexican food because he's even listed in the acknowledgments.

And it seems like he might have even, like Dave may have possibly been an inspiration for what ended up being the Jeffrey Pilcher book, Planet Taco, colon, a global history of Mexican food because he's even listed in the acknowledgments.

And Dave goes back to Jeffrey Pilcher's book that he helped inspire as a source for this episode.

And there is a guy named Gustavo Arellano, he wrote Taco USA, colon, How Mexican Food Conquered America.

I believe for the first time was in 1891 in a novel called Los Bandidos de Rio Frio, the bandits of cold river.

And there's a line in that book where they're talking about a celebration in Mexico city and they say Chito, which is fried goat with tortillas and the children skipping with tacos of tortillas and avocado in their hand.

I can't remember. I've asked you before, but I don't know if you've seen it since I asked you because you hadn't. Cave of Forgotten Dreams by Werner Herzog.

The whole thing's neat from beginning to end. But I mean, like it's a, I think maybe a two hour long documentary on a cave. Yeah, and the cave art.

It's phenomenal.

But Fust put his name on it, even though Gutenberg had basically created the whole thing.

after Gutenberg printed those Bibles, Fust got his hands on those presses almost immediately and in very short order, I think like less than two years, released a Psalter, which is also considered a masterpiece.

I was just reading Zeke Emanuel has one about which is the best health system in the world that does a good job of talking about the strengths and weaknesses, where the US has a lot of weaknesses, but has big chance to get better.

Brassieres, oh wait. Braziers must do more than fit a multitude of bodies. They must accommodate the same body as it changes through the monthly cycle and the life cycle. They must provide for movement of the torso and arms in many directions without chafing or binding, without slipping out of position.

And as if that were not enough, brassiers must retain their own structure throughout multiple wearings and launderings, must not abrade in contact with clothing, must remain as a rule inconspicuous beneath the outer clothing while harmonizing with the desired silhouette and must be priced to sell to many customers.

It's no wonder that hundreds of attempts have been made to design the ideal breast supporter over the past 140 years.

And by God, if I can't, I can't find it anywhere in my tabs, but it was basically a, oh, Revelations of a Spirit Medium is what it was called.

And I'm pretty sure it was published in 1897 and it is like 400 pages exposing all the tips and all that stuff, all the tricks.

there's an expose written in 1897... it was basically a, oh, Revelations of a Spirit Medium is what it was called.

And even in this story that he told, this is the official line that Pat Garrett told in the biography he wrote about Billy the Kid, that that was how he died.

But even that, which is kind of on the edges of fair, is disputed as probably untrue in that the truth is probably involves even more of an ambush and more surprise and even less of Billy the Kid being able to defend himself than that.

In my twenties, I actually bought a, one of Jim Morrison's poetry books.

I think that's where the whole lizard king thing came from because I think they took peyote in the desert.

And then Jim Morrison went on to write a bunch of bad poetry.

There was a book written in 1988 by Harry McLean, a crime writer called In Broad Daylight. You know what's coming, colon, our murder in Skidmore, Missouri.

Even prior to this, apparently for A New Hope, George Lucas had whipped up a 40-page what's known as the Wookiee Bible.

Yeah. It's like a 40-page supplement that's all about Kizuk and Wookiees and Chewbacca and his family and everything about Wookieedom, right?

So he's like, I've got this thing already established. I love Wookiees.

Here's the Wookiee Bible, tell me what you got.

So he's like I've got this thing already you know established I love Wookiees.

It's like a 40 page supplement that's all about Kizook and Wookie's and Chewbacca and his family and everything about Wookie Dome right?
