Sorry, don't agree with you on the brain power part. Can't see what they achieved or did in their perspective fields that's so great. I feel they are overselling themselves ... Compared also to other intellectuals I don't agree with (e.g. Pinker).

I would recommend you to listen a bit to Jeremy Scahill, and especially also Amy Goodman. She's an institution to me ... Just awesome work for all the years: https://www.democracynow.org/

https://theintercept.com/podcasts/intercepted/ The intercept got quite a bit heat recently, yet Jeremy is still just awesome (always to the point and careful in his analysis).

They are much more in line with my political bias. Yet honestly I find they make much more sense (and use a much more precise and easy to understand sentence structure/argumentation line).
