#62Naval Ravikant on Joe Rogan. Probably the highest wisdom per minute piece of media I've ever consumed.
I just listened to the JRE clip from that ep( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2AbxWr6I4s ) - Everyone Can Be Rich. And based on the below excerpt in which he misses the mark by a million miles, I'm doubting his wisdom. from 02:13 on .. > okay imagine if tomorrow we could wave a wand and everybody was trained as a scientist or an engineer everybody, even if you weren't very good, you had enough understanding computer…
Can you explain what's wrong in that excerpt?

#63I don't do podcasts. I can read faster - and more importantly - easily skim articles. I can't listen to something in the background, because I end up tuning it out if I'm concentrating on work or whatever. I live somewhere where I don't have an awful commute.

#65This is entirely off-topic, but if you're going through and downvoting people for posting their favorite podcasts in a thread like this, you should take a break from here, or the internet for a while, it's not that serious.
There's a reason "downvotes" are called "flags" on HN

#66Scriptnotes #403: How to Write a Movie[1], where screenwriter Craig Mazin (Chernobyl, The Hangover 2/3) meticulously lays out one approach to crafting a screenplay around thesis and antithesis. (TLDR: put your characters through agony.)
It’s the most impactful episode this year because I’ve been keeping these ideas in mind lately whenever I’ve watched a movie, and it has really given me a different way to understand what’s going on.
1: The episode itself requires a premium subscription by now, but the transcript is still free to read: https://johnaugust.com/2019/scriptnotes-ep-403-how-to-write-...

#67Every episode of Darknet Diaries[0]. Episode 49 and the two Xbox Underground episodes are excellent, but regardless of where you start you cannot go wrong with Darknet Diaries. 0: https://darknetdiaries.com/
I just inhaled several episodes of this podcast. I recently realized I liked true crime podcasts, and had an interest in cyber security...searched my podcast app and boom, I’m hearing about ransomware and Xbox bios hacking :)

That's one way to view it, certainly.
The other way is that downvotes are a great tool for ensuring high quality discussion, and if the thread is about podcast episodes, then downvoting full podcasts helps keep the thread organized. Downvotes aren't necessarily bad, they may just mean - hey, this doesn't belong as much in this thread, so I'm voting on it to help organize the thread for other readers.

No they are not. Downvotes and flags are different things, and have different rules about them. (Flags mean "this breaks the rules/needs moderator attention", downvotes are a lot more general "negative sentiment")
EDIT: downvotes probably aren't available to you yet, NilsIRL, I think the karma threshold is higher (500?).

I can second this. Even though I stumbled upon this podcast only 2 weeks ago. Just after the first episode I knew I had to hear more stories, so I started listening these back to back from the start. I can highly recommend this.
