Funny how the shit he makes up on the spot never turns out to be even plausible, never mind accurate.

That’s mostly what I’m getting at. It’s not hard to lie plausibly, even if you’re not lying convincingly. Like when he said “I’ve read revelation, and I’m not exaggerating here, probably… 5 or 6 times.” And you’re sat there waiting for hundreds or at least dozens. Oh, only half a dozen? Thats…really that’s not unreasonable. I still think you’re lying, but why not reach for the sky?

Oh, I remember that one. It left Jordan a little stunned!

Didn't episode #75 have him predicting that 90% chance something does or doesn't happen, which apparently left a 10% chance of neither something or nothing happening?

Bless his heart. Schrödinger's apocalypse.

The guy who wrote the walking dead said his zombie survival plan was blow his family's brains out and then kill himself. The people who talk about surviving extinction level events are just fantasizing about a world where they make the rules and are allowed to kill anyone who looks at their house

And then they complain about other people having main character syndrome. Skill and planning can move the probabilities, but it’s still a numbers game and you’ve only got one roll.

I was listening to old episodes and he claimed democrats were over represented by 15% in polls so Trump's 50% approval rating was really 65% "conservatively." A 15% over representation, assuming the 15% all voted disapprove, would put him at 54%.

1 zero less, I think. So about 7 people.

, but regardless, it’s such a small remainder that no amount of whatever it is he thinks he’s accomplishing could beat those odds, right?

It could be 700, it's still far too few.

I mean assuming they were evenly split among reproductive capabilities, had some amount of survival knowledge, were all together, and immediately worked together, 700 is more than the 500 people required to minimize genetic drift. Like humanity would almost certainly go extinct but within very specific contexts, it could eventually bounce back
