TFS 51 – October Faction and The Epoch Times on the ‘CCP Virus’
I talk about an unfairly maligned bit of wackiness called October Faction and discuss an otherwise decent publications rather overzealous critique of China/CCP.

Media Hype and Panicked Buying
As they clamor for influence they seem to forget that they do actually influence.
Give me your thoughts.

TFS 30 – Quality Nutrition in the Apocalypse
Panic is more dangerous than germs. I make the case for getting a few extra groceries. Worst case scenario you have a slightly fuller pantry.
No this is not a recanting of my initial observation that this virus while concerning isn’t apocalyptic.
This is a supply line problem. And boy do we have a big one. We are insanely dependent on China for goods essential to manufacturing, medicine, hell goods in general.
The United States and all nations would do well to secure as much self sufficiency as possible. Distribution of goods over wide distances is a tricky, expensive, and highly sensitive business.
Let’s not make it our primary means of sustenance!

If you wanna stock up and support Tim’s channel: https://mypatriotsupply.com/pages/rs-repdig-tim-pool?rfsn=1750310.2a7b74&subid=tim.pool
Tucker on our dependance:
Some people have been critical of Tim for “shilling.” Personally, I have nothign against people offering solutions to potential problems. I think that the beans and rice package the pariot supply has is pretty affordable and a sound idea.
Though, you’d also do well to stock up on nutritionally dense canned stuff like herring, etc.

TFS 23 – Coronavirus Lesion Study in Globalist Economics, Manufacturing, and Trans Frogs
Lesion studies are when you look at a damaged bit of tissue and match it to an impaired capacity to figure out its function, etc. Right now the economy is damaged by the Coronavirus. Something that let’s us see what the Fed really does, and diagnose the disease of relying on others for our manufacturing needs.
We need to bring manufacturing back so we can solve the hipster epidemic by putting them to work.
Atrazine is real. And it’s pretty much as crazy as Alex Jones.

TFS 22 – Coronavirus, Kvass, and Carolina Living
Note (I repeated a factoid from another YouTuber (CoffeeTalk) “bird flu has 98% or so survival rate) I was unable to confirm this via Google. All I got was survival rate of the virus strains in Korea not of people. I did find a sixty percent mortality rate. That being said I don’t think he’s entirely off the mark because the CDC said the following:
While the risk from Asian H5N1 is low to most people, CDC recommends general precautions.
Sporadic human infections with Asian H5N1 virus have occurred in other countries, primarily in Asia and Africa. Most human infections with Asian H5N1 viruses in other countries have occurred after prolonged and close contact with infected sick or dead birds.
No animal or human infections with Asian H5N1 virus have occurred in the United States.
Video is about Coronavirus news, media coverage, Kvass and beer, Russian memories, and the economy.
(I’m aware the audio doesn’t match. Sorry, I had no time to fix it.)

TFS 21 – Coronavirus in Romania, Criticizing the Alt Media, and More
I discuss recent developments in the spread of the Coronavirus via a critique of alt-media commentary. The commentator in question is a Romanian citizen who goes by the internet name “Vee.”
Background Info:
(Note: Italy is mentioned because it is experiencing an outbreak and many Romanians travel between Italy and Romania.)
Recent Developments in Coronavirus News:
Italy has only a moderate level of air traffic with China – approximately comparable to Russia and France, lower than Germany and the UK, fivefold lower than the US.
Italy was the only country in Europe to ban all direct flights from China on January 31. (This appears to have actually no less hard a response than Russia’s ban on Chinese citizens on February 20, which however excluded transit and business visitors).
Belying stereotypes, the Italian epidemiological response has been highly competent (if by unexacting global standards), with most or all people displaying flu-like symptoms apparently being tested.

Why Corona Is Worying:
Most cases are asymptomatic; in cases where symptoms do appear, which can happen as much as 2 weeks after infection, they are easily confounded with the flu. From the earlier days, it has been estimated – and repeatedly confirmed – that COVID-19 has only a 10% detection rate (BTW, Davide Piffer estimates it at 18%). Meanwhile, carriers need not be symptomatic to transmit. At such early stages, you are only going to identify these clusters by intensive testing, which as I understand nobody apart from Italy and South Korea is really doing yet. One might make a comparison to a tsunami. Undetectable when it’s out in the deep ocean, unless you’re specifically looking for it… until it comes to shore and crashes down on local healthcare systems.

TFS – Episode Three – Professor Xu, Dr Li, and why Censorship Backfires
There are many problems that the Coronavirus outbreak has brought to light.
Our own tendency to hyperbolize and politicize everything, media spin, spooky research, and the stifling of the free flow of ideas.
I examine the latter through the eyes of an English academic/scientist type by the name of John Derbyshire who is married to a Chinese woman.
You can find his article discussing the cases of Professor Xu and Dr. Li at the Unz Review: https://www.unz.com/jderbyshire/still-90-chance-coronavirus-not-catastrophic-but-chinese-and-western-censors-arent-helping/

The Robots Are Here (Vlog)
Automation is a hot topic these days. There are lots of ramifications. Whether they be economic, social, or psychological the domain in which they lie is well suited to philosophical exploration.
In this super breif video I go over some recent developments that depending on your perspective are yet another step in either liberating or bankrupting the working man.
