The "all new Guess Who" now features 437 genders. Determining someone's gender based on appearance is considered disrespectful and offensive. Identifying someone solely based on gender is reductive and offensive. Privileging traditional gender stereotypes is patriarchal and offensive. The game is designed for various family structures, including single-parent, blended, chosen, and LGBTQIA+ families, and friendships/communities where everyone feels valued. "Fun" is defined not as enjoyable, but as a feeling of smug self-satisfaction about being on the right side of history and superiority over others. The game is available at Target and BSM Shop. Seven more genders were discovered and new pieces are being sent.

The way to win is to flood a country's public square with raw sewage. Raise enough questions, spread enough dirt, and plant enough conspiracy theories so that citizens no longer know what to believe. Once people lose trust in their leaders, the mainstream media, political institutions, each other, and the possibility of truth, the game is won.

Deviations in conversation often happen through subtle, informal networks, like a "whisper network." A joke can serve as a signal; if the other person laughs, the conversation can continue, but if not, it's best to retreat. Humor allows for discussing serious topics while maintaining deniability, as comedians can often say, "It was just a joke." Laughter is involuntary and reveals truths that may be off-limits to discuss openly. When someone laughs, it indicates that a deeper, often unspoken truth is being acknowledged, breaking the ice and allowing for more open dialogue.

The ASH experiment is one of psychology's oldest and most popular pieces of research. A volunteer is told that he's taking part in a visual perception test. What he doesn't know is that the other participants are actors, and he's the only person taking part in the real test, which is actually about group conformity. Please begin. The experiment you will be taking part in today involves the perception of line length. Your task will be simply to look at the line here on the left and indicate which of the three lines on the right is equal to it in length. The actors have been told to match the wrong lines. In the first test, the correct answer is two. Group dynamics is one of the most powerful forces in human psychology.

The ASH experiment is a classic psychology study on group conformity. A volunteer participates in a supposed visual perception test, unaware that the other participants are actors instructed to provide incorrect answers. The volunteer's task is to identify which line matches the length of a reference line. In the first test, the correct answer is 2, but the actors choose different numbers. The experiment demonstrates that individuals often conform to group opinions, even when they know the answers are wrong. This tendency to align with the group highlights the powerful influence of social dynamics on human behavior, as people seek acceptance and avoid conflict.

Speaker 0 argues that Ancestry DNA was never about helping you find your family, but about tracking bloodlines, finding lost kings, rulers and disruptors who once threatened the system, and those who have returned in new bodies, lifetimes, and identities. History, they claim, is not linear; it loops, and the rulers of today know that old enemies are being reborn and will do anything to stop them from waking up. They assert that they can trace every bloodline, every descendant, every possible return of an old ruler, an exiled king, a lost revolutionary, and if someone is born with the wrong DNA, a genetic signature that once belonged to a threat to their system, they know immediately and can stop them before they wake up. The speaker asks if the elite care about being 5% Viking or 10% Italian, implying they do not; for thousands of years, power has been passed down through family lines not because of wealth or privilege, but because certain souls always return to the same genetic pools. They claim the rulers of the past practiced inbreeding to ensure their souls would return to their dynasty, kept extensive genealogy records to know who belonged to which bloodline, and created secret societies that only accept specific families because they believe power reincarnates within their lineage. They assert these elites have always been obsessed with tracking souls through DNA, and with modern technology they no longer have to guess. The real reason mass DNA collection programs were launched was to find and neutralize threats before they wake up. Since DNA testing became popular, intelligence agencies gained access to private DNA databases without consent, genetic data was bought, sold and cross-referenced against historical bloodlines, mapping ancient royal lineages, fallen empires, and revolutionary leaders to their modern descendants. They claim they are searching for someone, or many someones—the ones who opposed the system before, the ones who once sat on thrones never meant to return, the ones who have the power to remember and fight again. If they find you in their system, they act before you do: they discredit certain people before they rise to power, they silence those who start remembering too much, they neutralize threats before they can shake the system again. Because if you wake up, if you remember who you were, if you realize why you are really here, the cycle ends, the throne is taken back, and their illusion of control collapses forever. The final question: who were you before? This is not a game. The war for control did not start in this lifetime; it has been happening for centuries, for ages, for cycles upon cycles of reincarnation. And now, the system is collapsing, more people are waking up, and the ones in power are desperate to track, suppress, and erase those who were never meant to return. So ask yourself, why were you born in this time? Why does history feel familiar? Why do you feel drawn to certain places, symbols, eras as if you lived them before? You might not just be a person searching for your past. You might be the past searching for itself. And the ones who rule now, they know who you are. The only question is, do you?

Speaker 0: They talk about theater in geopolitics, suggesting there’s a similar dynamic there. They argue that all of these leaders are collectivists, and that there aren’t real options offered to represent individualism. They claim they all basically want to be at the top of the ladder, and as far as “we” are concerned, they consider us the enemy and want to subdue us, make us slaves or vassals to their empire. They then discuss strategies for gradually advancing their position. They argue you can’t just declare a decisive victory and expect it to be accepted. It’s a geopolitics game or card game, and the goal is to condition global thinking so people see a battle being fought. They say the opponents are gradually losing, then still losing, and then losing again, while they “did their best.” If the card had been played all at once to declare a new world order with everyone going to prison, there would be a big rebellion. Instead, the strategy is like the frog in gradually heated water: the enemy doesn’t want the water hot all at once, so progress is slow and incremental. Thus, the plan is to go through stages of conflict, winning a little, losing a little, back and forth, and presenting various figures as heroes or strong leaders who do some things right, or a woman who seems to make sense, then maybe changes her mind. The idea is to slow down progress so opponents don’t see too much progress at once. They acknowledge that it looks like the enemies are accelerating the process because they suspect people are waking up, and if enough people understand what is being discussed, the game won’t work anymore.

The Bohemian Grove is a private men's club in California where politicians, businessmen, and celebrities gather for two weeks each summer. There have been allegations of human hunting games taking place at the Grove, where captives are released into the woods and hunted for sport by the elite. Some witnesses claim to have seen ritualistic murders of children and adults at the Grove. The club's motto is "weaving spiders come not here," meaning that business and personal discussions should be kept confidential. While some of these claims are controversial and lack concrete evidence, they have sparked speculation and conspiracy theories about the activities that occur at the Bohemian Grove.

The speaker describes a deliberate strategy to corrode public trust by raising questions, spreading dirt, and planting conspiracy theories, thereby causing citizens to doubt the credibility of leaders, mainstream media, political institutions, and even each other and the concept of truth. The aim is to overwhelm citizens with suspicion until a sense of shared reality dissolves, enabling whoever orchestrates the tactic to prevail. A country's public square with enough raw sewage. You just have to raise enough questions, spread enough dirt, plant enough conspiracy theorizing that citizens no longer know what to believe. Once they lose trust in their leaders, the mainstream media, in political institutions, in each other, in the possibility of truth. The game's won. This is presented as a win for the manipulators.

Noam Brown: AI vs Humans in Poker and Games of Strategic Negotiation | Lex Fridman Podcast #344
Guests: Noam Brown
reSee.it Podcast Summary
In this conversation, Lex Fridman speaks with Noam Brown, a research scientist at Facebook AI Research, who co-created AI systems that achieved superhuman performance in poker and the board game Diplomacy. Brown discusses the evolution of AI in games, particularly focusing on Libratus, which mastered heads-up No Limit Texas Hold'em, and Pluribus, which excelled in six-player poker. He emphasizes the significance of approximating Nash equilibrium in poker, where the AI's strategy of not adapting to opponents but rather playing optimally led to its success against top human players. Brown explains that No Limit Texas Hold'em differs from chess due to its high variance and the psychological aspects involved, such as bluffing and betting strategies. He notes that while both games reward strategic thinking, poker's unpredictable nature makes it more complex. The conversation also touches on the beauty of poker and the allure of finding an objectively correct way to play. The discussion transitions to Diplomacy, a game that combines strategy with negotiation and social dynamics. Brown highlights the challenges of creating an AI for Diplomacy, particularly due to the need for natural language processing and understanding human behavior. He explains that the AI must navigate complex social interactions and trust dynamics, making it distinct from purely adversarial games like poker. Brown describes the AI's training process, which involved self-play and leveraging human data to better understand human communication styles. He emphasizes the importance of trust in Diplomacy, noting that successful players often build alliances while managing the risk of betrayal. The AI, named Cicero, was able to perform competitively against human players, demonstrating its capability to negotiate and strategize effectively. The conversation also delves into the ethical implications of AI in games, particularly regarding deception and trust. Brown expresses excitement about the potential of AI to enhance our understanding of human interactions and decision-making processes. He suggests that the insights gained from AI in games like Diplomacy could inform broader applications in real-world scenarios, including geopolitics. Fridman and Brown conclude by discussing the future of AI, the challenges of data efficiency, and the philosophical questions surrounding AI's role in society. Brown encourages aspiring machine learning practitioners to embrace diverse perspectives and backgrounds, emphasizing the value of interdisciplinary approaches in tackling complex problems.

Steven Pinker on Cancel Culture, Common Knowledge & AI
Guests: Steven Pinker
reSee.it Podcast Summary
An idea from Steven Pinker reshapes how we read online upheaval: cancel culture is predictable because common knowledge guides collective punishment. Pinker argues Malcolm Gladwell’s cancellation was mathematically inevitable, rooted in a social media shaming mob. Common knowledge means I know something, you know it, I know that you know it, and so on. When a dissenting voice finally speaks, the room often echoes in agreement, illustrating a powerful coordination force that underpins civilization itself. Pinker's core distinction is between common knowledge and private or expert knowledge. The book stresses the difference between everyone knowing something and everyone knowing that everyone knows it. It introduces the idea of a shibileth or shibth, insider knowledge outsiders don’t share. When common knowledge falters—through disinformation or AI hallucinations—the foundations of cooperation wobble. Conspiracy theories and woo rise where communities lack a shared epistemic ground, and academia sometimes fears ideas that challenge established norms. Throughout the dialogue, censorship is framed as a tool to prevent common knowledge. Dictatorships and the Catholic Church suppressed demonstrations and the teaching that might unite believers. The Galileo episode shows that censorship targets not just speech but the spread of widely known ideas: Sidereus Nuncius was allowed, Dialogo was forbidden because it could coordinate dissent. Common knowledge thus becomes a weapon, while its suppression preserves power. Two pillars emerge: the Agree to Disagree theorem by Robert Aumann and the signaling logic in charity. If two rational agents share priors and their posteriors are common knowledge, they must converge; disagreement is unlikely with full information. In markets, prices reflect information because of common knowledge. In charity, publicly given gifts can signal virtue, while anonymous giving signals deeper altruism. The ladder of righteousness—from visible generosity to double-blind giving—shows how layers of mutual knowledge shape social rewards. An overarching thread ties to artificial intelligence. Large language models draw on vast text, computing patterns rather than grounding propositions in real-world knowledge. Pinker warns that hallucinations come from training data lacking a reliable knowledge base, producing a polluted form of common knowledge. The discussion also covers free will, determinism, and moral responsibility: even when brains operate under physical laws, people act as if they have free will to sustain social order, a tension that mirrors the puzzles of coordination in the book.

Neal Brennan 2 | This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von #279
Guests: Neal Brennan
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Neal Brennan makes his second appearance on This Past Weekend with Theo Von. The conversation ricocheted through personal anecdotes, show business, politics, sexuality, and the pandemic-era media landscape, always anchored by Brennan’s memory-driven humor and Von’s wide-eyed curiosity. Brennan shares set pieces from private moments: a pool day at Mr. C’s Hotel in Beverly Hills with his ex, sun exposure and skin quirks, a sunburn that bubbled behind a car window, and a memory of his stern Irish father driving with gloves on while children screamed after the sun blistered his hands. He adds a Caribbean misadventure—top of his feet sunburned in Turks and Caicos—and a joke about the Turks and Caicos name sounding like Latino hit men. The talk shifts to modern tech worship and its politics. They riff on Elon Musk’s tweets about the quarantine and “Take the red pill,” the liberal backlash to electric cars, and the dichotomy of wealth and risk in a pandemic era. Brennan notes the comfort of the rich during lockdowns, and Von pokes fun at the MAGA-adjacent vibe that pops up in tech circles. Relationships and quarantine follow. Brennan describes his current dating dynamic with his ex as “best friends,” with regular check-ins and careful boundaries. They discuss the anxiety of pandemic life, the idea that wealth can cushion a national sacrifice, and the fear about government stimulus timelines. The conversation pivots to deeper life questions: would he ever marry, and how fear of intimacy shapes his relationships? Brennan recounts longstanding sexual anxiety and a vivid medical visit involving a penile injection that tested blood flow, a painful six-hour episode, and a scar that lingered. They launch into random pop-culture games with Theo’s “What does Theo know?” segment. They debate the Chicago Bears roster of 1985, misname Def Leppard songs, and reminisce about Roots, Spike Lee, and whether Takashi 6ix9ine can survive his own notoriety. The game barrels into film-director trivia and Hemingway, swapping jokes for facts in a rapid-fire style that reveals their wide but imperfect encyclopedic knowledge. The Joe Rogan deal becomes the episode’s inflection point about the changing media ecosystem: licensing, Spotify’s heft, YouTube’s long lead, and the risk of censorship versus the upside of exposure. Brennan lashes into Comedy Central’s internal biases, the channel’s history with Chappelle’s Show, Tosh, and South Park, and the stubborn, self-defeating nature of mid-tier gatekeepers who resist edgy voices. The core theme emerges: ambition and talent persist in the face of exclusion, bias, and the tricky economics of modern entertainment. Brennan and Von close with mutual acknowledgment that inclusion matters, that underdogs can win, and that the craft, not the gatekeepers, ultimately sustains a comedian’s career.
