"Sapiens" is basically an indictment of the whole concept of the "thought leader," a guy with academic credentials who sounds smart and underpays graduate students to (poorly) do the research that he slaps his name on and publishes.
Episode 46: Sapiens
It's an ambitious goal to write the entire history of humanity in just 400 pages. It's even more ambitious to do it without reading any research.

The correct thing to do in this scenario, when faced with a misogynistic, moronic boor, is to tell him that he's being a boor. If people had done that to Donald Trump 40 years ago instead of trying to ingratiate themselves to the rich guy, we wouldn't be here now.
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

Email just went out on my campus that the Immigration Goons ("federal immigration agents") will be in town (Raleigh).
Inter alia, it says,"International students, faculty and staff should carry evidence of their immigration status with them at all times."
The fuck kind of country are we living in?
