82: High Value Target

The Myth of the Spark in Relationships

Logan Ury argues that "the spark" is a harmful myth and that great relationships are "built, not discovered." She advocates for the "slow burn," where attraction grows over time. The hosts discuss how the "Me Too" movement and the shift to remote work have made the workplace—a traditional venue for meeting partners—a "toxic" environment for dating.

Natural Immunity Superiority and the Case of Joe Katz

Using a hypothetical worker named "Joe Katz," the hosts question the logic of firing productive remote employees who refuse vaccination. They reference a legal case involving a George Mason University professor who argues that his natural immunity from a prior COVID-19 infection is superior to vaccine-induced immunity. The discussion highlights that CDC and FDA data often acknowledge the strength of natural antibodies, yet mandates rarely provide exemptions for them.

Mid-Level Management and the Push to End Remote Work

Mainstream media commentators argue that mandates are necessary to get the economy "back on track" and return workers to offices. The hosts blame mid-level managers for this push, suggesting they want employees back on-site to mask their own failures in meeting goals. They argue that remote work has actually improved productivity and work-life balance for many employees.

The transition to working from home during the 2020 lockdown has led to increased productivity and "mission creep" as the boundaries between work and personal life blur. Silicon Valley companies are ramping up tools to facilitate this shift, with Zoom emerging as a dominant platform for both professional and family communication.
