These jump targets come from timestamps preserved in the source transcript, so they work as navigational anchors rather than editorially invented section labels. Timings are approximate — they mark where a passage begins, not exact word timing.

We've got two weeks left. I hope that we're following this super mechanical scheme that is free programming stuff to a certain extent. And so we're right on the downslope now where we have to deal with everything we're going to talk about in the whole of this course. And right now, this week, I think we're back…
00:28:00
So, yeah, sorry. That's just a minor kind of... Right. Can I just ask a clarification question? Who is they in this case? They being us, Anthropole, or they being the conservatives? I'll treat Anthropole as the kind of default subject in all of this. I think, yeah. I mean, can I look... I think there's a way of saying…

that down down down and over subsequent evolutionary time that was dismantled and it seems to me this is extremely suggestive you know, it's like if gene propagation can get rid of brains it will of course try to do it because brains are unreliable, you know the very fact that we're doing this course that this whole…

I would think we're at least between like groups of breeds, you know, depending on how close they are to the original like, you know, African dog or wolf or whatever stock. And the other thing besides getting, you know, being turned into little, you know, And the other thing besides getting, you know, being turned…

Yeah. Well, actually, you know, I'm trying to think... There's some theorists, at least one, it might even be a kind of school now, that are talking about humans as an auto-domesticating species. And so I think implicit in that is stuff very relevant to this discussion, that really there's a kind of... a cultural…

So all Metazoa are, relatively speaking, extreme novelty in the terrestrial biosphere. Before that, there was much more fluid and complicated feedback allowed between genetic systems. They don't, I guess, even have a strong sense of genome. They just collect a whole bunch of genes. They can swap them around. They…

But that with regards to the geology of morals, D and G are in a way like decolonized. It's deconstructing the diagonality there, that they're actually one and the same. Like the a priori is a process. I can't actually, it's so anti-Kantian, I can't even. It's unthinkable. Right. Isn't it like that, right? That every…
02:34:33
Yeah, 4am here so I'm getting a little bit tired. Oh wow, that's impressive. Yeah, I'm... Okay. I'm going to sleep then, it's 10am. Right. We're on to your kind of final food next week. Thanks everybody and have a good week. Thank you.
