I was in a gifted program similar to GATE called “Connections” in the Midwest. Anyone else? I’m paranoid about it now lol

Can we have Josh Citarella as next guest pls ladies, him or Pariah

Barry Lyndon is low-key one of my favourite films. It makes accessible a cultural period which can often feel alienating, in a way which I believe is a coup.

Nearly turned this off 5 minutes in bc his voice is so off putting but I’m glad I stuck with it, actually a good ep and by the end felt rather soothed

Slowest episode ever 😴

Xerces Society: "Pesticide" is an umbrella term that includes—but is not limited to—insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and rodenticides.

beautifully boring episode. going to replay this to fall asleep tonight. loved💕

To be autistic about it… Roundup is an Herbicide not a Pesticide…

Can u guys talk about love has won the cult of mother god on hbo max

The environmental toxin theory makes the most sense. Autism is linked with poor gut health, sometimes attributed as a cause of autism. And then it’s already well established that processed foods and the modern industrial diet are all terrible for gut health
Erika
There are studies that show that high levels of estradiol in utero is linked to autism. As opposed to the idea that it’s too much testosterone

Tao: “When I go to Taiwan, everyone seems autistic… like they say ‘Mmm’ a lot as a response.” Dasha: “Mmm”
TheTurtleMoves
This one was real weird
Jac
One of the most beautiful things I’ve ever read was Tao’s tribute to Giancarlo DiTrapano in Muumuu House ❤️ Love Tao
Emilia Tessaro
Does anyone know the PDF about the Gifted and Talented programs? GateGate? Even Sigmund Freud would read the plot of “Space Relations” as an indictment and not source misattribution for believing some of those education initiatives a fucking racket *Space Relations is that book by education policy influencer Donald Barr about sex trafficking galaxies
Enrique
gotta be the most depressing episode yet. kind a funny too
james
Omg, Lenny has no Grandpa!!!😭😭😭

Tao is wonderful. Where can a listener find the chanting podcast that he made?

Garbage interview. Not the girls fault

perfect ep. so soothing yet stimulating and the conversation was everywhere but it flowed. peaceful chaos💖

Tao says the most Asian thing ever. Dasha reacts in the most white woman way ever (feigned interest).
Suda
This guy rocks
Researcher
Everyone who knows a real autist, knows this man is not an autist.
Isobar
Tao Lin: milk makes me really gassy and gives me diarrhoea Dasha: mmm interesting
Grrrb
Like for Tao Lin, reply for Ivy Wolk

This was therapeutic. Could listen to Tao's voice all day, so hypnotic and gentle. I hadn't heard of the testosterone autism connection, but ray peaters would probably point out that it only takes one enzymatic reaction to make estrogen from testosterone.
David Jansen
Boring

I broke my neck last year in a nasty car wreck. It was less painful than the 11 minutes of this podcast I made it through.
Rtm
I am so psyched you know who Ray Peat is
Matt
god this episode was painful. it was only funny when the ladies laughed at something outlandish happening to Tao. otherwise he gave absolutely nothing and sounded like a retarded robot slowly powering down

In general Asian men exhibit sperg characteristics when viewed from westernized social behavioral standards, no? he’s sweet when he says he’s working on himself and being with his cat

Bring Pariah The Doll as the next guest, and then I will have the patience to listen to Anna and Dash chirping.

Yall. Check out from THC. Sally Fallon Morell has been on The Higherside Chats at least once. Host Greg interviews a ton of people in the alternative health realm. Texas Slim is a good one. The whole fish oil thing is a good point. Buut the whole fermentation thing seems legit. It might be one of the reasons for the the success and progression of the human species. Trentinannoying? Wow yes. I work at a pharmacy and people get prescribe that for serious musty skin issues. Why yall slathering this on willy nilly?

I almost had to turn this one off, I nearly fell asleep because it was so relaxing
Theo
He has a Skallasian blasé vibe that i thought was intentional at first then it became clear he is the real deal autist
dylan dreilich
What did he saw about atoms and time standing still though that was profound
Osama Bin Latinx
That’s a Infowhores membership perk.

This is why I shell out money for this pod. Mind-altering ep ladies

dasha performatively clearing her throat as certain topics arise is an mkultra method
Alison
Listening to this felt like self mutilation. Painful but ultimately satisfying.

An herbicide is a type of pesticide.
elliott
I've only ever broken out into hives twice: once when I got the flu shot and covid booster at the same time and once when I ate a mcchicken (I normally eat very healthily). I did some research and found that there is some overlap in vaccine and mcchicken ingredients.
Daniel
articulate… lmfao
Martha Moszczynski
supremely peaceful ep
Jessica Jasso
Agreed
Ben Seales
Damn. It’s not so often….

Glyphosate is a herbicide, not a pesticide. It is widely used both to kill weeds and dry down grain for easier harvest. Though I am in my 50s, I suffered an early vaccine injury that I remember vividly. I got the MMR shot, came home, went to my room, sat in my rocking chair and fell back into a tunnel in my mind, the world receding away from me. My arm swelled dramatically and when my mother called the doctor he told her I’d need another dose of the vaccine because the swelling indicated that it “didn’t take.” Thereafter I experienced various symptoms that today would be considered signs of autism. I largely recovered from the associated social anxiety and awkwardness in my 20s through a concerted effort of will. I still suffer executive dysfunction and a certain rigidity. I did not vaccinate my children.
Ben Mckinnon
Finally, someone so dull and boring I almost forgot I was gay and retarded
Alyssa moslander
Oh my god!!! Anna and dasha are so cute but these guests make me want to kill myself.
elliott
Leave Society is my favorite contemporary novel. It helped me find joy and creativity in self-healing through diet, behavior, and my environment. It also inspired me to connect with my parents about their health. I loved the character Didi, his family's dog, too.
Mr. Mike Man
A fake autist telling ridiculous lies about health and nutrition could have been entertaining, but this fraud has decided he can avoid detection by being as boring and inarticulate as possible
gus macleod
I just know Tao from reading leave society and I like his writing but never heard him talk and he’s sooo funny I love him
Dom Weisz
when is there going to be a eli keszler music ep. I remember the beautiful poetry ep with ariana reines and it would Be cool to have a music centered one too
Christian Swift
I always love it and feel teary eyed when the pod starts talking about the pod.
Dom Weisz
Kind of a bore and a downer tbh
Bree
I love listening to this brain dead ep
ryan
hes full of shit
Lars
“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” does not mean what Anna thinks it means lmao
Jocelyn James
Did you see class action law suit about how pregnant women taking Tylenol created so many autistic children
C
Yeah we are all on the spectrum. However, my son is autistic and although high functional, we are definitely not the same. The online test and the affectation was unbearable.
Ben Seales
♥️ 🙏 Final hour and a bit was so good. Cheers
soph
Eating a stew with kale and turmeric like 😳
Christsven
Calls someone cruel, vile and in the same breath wishes for their death. You are very well adjusted!
Christsven
I want to believe that the GATE MK Ultra conspiracy is just online schizo stuff… But I was in various “gifted” programs from ages 6-16 and the testing I was subjected to and the heavy involvement of the coordinator in my life is quite suspect.
snarpypurpy
This is cruel. These woman are vile. dasha drink a couple bottles of wine and down your benzo prescription on air so we can all comfortably sit back hear you fade to black.
souleraser
Now Anna and Dasha are going to show up in another novel
Seneca Garcia
Wonderful and sweet ep Tao Lin a goat
jordankl
get soon-yi on the pod
Hicks
Invite Thomas777 on your podcast.

Dasha is really making me giggle in this episode - and I always love Anna of course. Great guest too
andrea papapostolou
If you fashion your entire personality around being autistic based on an internet test you're just a run of the mill narcissist with poor social skills.
Bree
This comforting to listen to. Cadence good
III
The ladies are hard at work these days.
Erin
forgive me if I’m missing some joke, but he doesn’t seem very cured of autism
Daniel
Please bring back the RW anons! At least they are articulate and have something to say. This was painful and a waste of time. I’m just recovering from Ivy saying “ like” 745 times in the last guest pod.
Brandon Cook
tao is low key an internet legend. he was always ahead of the curve
Luke G
The worst guest and episode so far
Osama Bin Latinx
It’s kinda been their thing for a while. They bring on retards like Sean thor Conroe, or the keyboard-fascist niccolo, to stir up the Patreon and Reddit comments.
boxcar
Where is the sperg test mentioned in this podcast found? Can anyone take it to see?
Erin
he sounds pretty actual retarded to me 🤷🏻♀️
David Hefez
This guy rocks
nikki
Finally a real guest
JRW
What beautiful influences he has, Lorrie Moore, Jean Rhys, etc. Love these authors. Thanks ladies: I like how chill this episode was. Not like the PAGLIA episode is going to be! (Manifesting...)
MYK’L ROCKS
Wait… y’all believe this guys schtick? This whole performative retardation as a career move is admirable as a con but exhausting as a long con…
mckayla
Very relaxing ep
KennethRFunk
Where does Tao stand on Chris Chan
Organized Meat
I love you, but this was just awful. Stop having autistic, they/them weirdos who don’t know how to hold a proper conversation on the show. Unless that’s your new thing
sophie
I had a Taiwanese roommate who played video games in his room whenever he had a spare second hardly ever went outside except to go to work, had a crush on me but would also be randomly really mean and passive aggressive, had a huge chip on his shoulder about lack of professional success but would never admit it, and he reminds me so much of this guy somehow lol... also something about the way this guy talked about his dad gave me so much ickkkk, going on and on and on about his dad's money issues when nobody asked lol feels so invasive to do to ur own father, like he hides behind his fake and gay "autism" to actually be really cruel... I also just lurked his ig and he's posted a pic of his dad naked on the toilet?? who does that, its like he enjoys humiliating him
Dom Weisz
Mira Gonzalez ain't gonna like this lmao
JjjacksonG
The “Anna watches Gran Torino to having an Asian guest” pipeline.
BussyRiot
I loved this. I felt very seen as a retard.
J
I heard Tim Dillon is too
Stuart Carroll
Is this guy's dad real or did i miss something?
Tony Ducks
Word is the ladies will soon be federally indicted for their actions on January 6th.
Osama Bin Latinx
lol. He’s in the comments. I hope he sees this.
payton
beautifully done. all the perfect podcast voices right here. bravo!
Osama Bin Latinx
Before I commit 2 hours of my life, would one of you kind souls please warn me if Tao is as unlistenable as the previous literary wunderkind the Girls interviewed? I’m referring to the absolutely unlistenable Sean Thor Conroe. He was an actual retard.
Osama Bin Latinx
Optimistic of you to think an Asian can make so many trips thru NYC without encountering a Subway Haitian.
Lance Anderson
Why is downloads not working anymore?
Will
Leave Society is a great book.
Udi Henis
I imagine Tao in the short term, suddenly appearing at Anna or Dasha’s doorstep unannounced. It will be nice. Once, twice but when it turns into a habit, I envision distressed phone calls between the two on how to diplomatically get rid of him…
Tao Lin
"Mr. Lin's talking points have been debunked." Such as?
Ryan McDuffie
Love Tao! Dream guest right here.
Drew Addison
This guy is so sweet and intelligent
John Ellmaker
While you can be open to people with no medical background linking vaccines to autism, I'll at least point to the resources where you can look at vaccinology and microbiology research. I'm glad Anna's child is fully vaccinated, it was safe to do that and prevents disease. Children's Hospital of Philidelphia, debunkthefunk (microbiologist), the college textbook Principles of Virology 5th ed, microbetv... please before you slide down the antivax rabbit hole, at least stop for a look at topics in microbiology at any of those. The Dunning Krueger effect is probably the most pronounced in microbiology and even the most basic collegiate reading could help you identify how scientifically poor this episode was and how thoroughly Mr. Lin's talking points have been debunked. Those talking points are so common because they sound reasonable at a glance, I've heard them all before. I don't blame people for succumbing, how many microbiologists or ID MD's do you personally know? How many can you name, past or present? How many peers would welcome you in your niche entertainment podsphere if you latch onto antivax? You don't have to agree with me, but at least know the opposing arguments. You might actually find how interesting vaccines are going back to Jenner's smallpox vaccine and how old antivax tropes are. Dr Offit, pediatrician and infectious disease MD (who rfkjr defamed on jre) has short videos regarding vaccine ingredients and common misconceptions, check out Beyond the Noise on YT. Of our pharmaceuticals, childhood vaccines are the most tested and tracked for safety signals and also not the profit centers for pharma.

Also, if bishop is best piece in endgame, but all stars have to align, king has to be in front of pawn and winning side has to be attacking, so why not then bail on bishop and look for openings that set you up with a knight and queen, keep queens on board and try to outsmart us8ng the knight, and since as we hit age 25 tactics go south, so wouldn't it make sense look for closed positions that you can have a better knight,
Nathan
This dude will answer your questions
