One viewer asks about the PALS battalions and whether the shortage of qualified shell manufacturers due to heavy losses in the battalions led to a large number of non-exploded munitions along the Western Front. Indy explains that while PALS battalions were formed from local communities, it was not the recruitment of these battalions that caused low-quality shells. Instead, hastily built or retooled factories and the outsourcing of production contributed to the issue. The functionality of the fuse in the nose cone of artillery shells was the main problem, and there could be various reasons for its failure. Indy warns against touching unexploded shells, as even a faulty fuse can still explode after a hundred years. Another question asks about the presence of German generals in the Turkish army's high command, and Indy suggests that their involvement may have been due to a lack of Turkish commanders and their potential usefulness on both the Western and Eastern fronts.\n\nOriginal (Chunk 2 of 3 total):\nWell, you're welcome, and we hope to. Germany was already economically intertwined with the Ottoman military before the war. The two empires had made a pact of military cooperation, right? For helping to modernize the Ottoman army, Germany would get economic concessions granted like arms deals, the Berlin-Baghdad railway, and concessions for future oil pumping stations in Persia. Germany would not only equip the Ottoman army with German rifles and artillery, but it would also send advisors and instructors to train the Ottoman soldiers in using them. Von der Goltz, for example, led a Turkish officer school. They even called them the Goltz Generation of Cadets, right? And that made a significant difference in reorganizing a whole army corps. Those German instructors and teachers were professionals who spoke fluent Turkish and knew a great deal about the country and its culture. Orientalism, as it was called back then. As the war broke out, many of those German officers simply led the soldiers they had already supervised before. And often, those were supported by soldiers from the German Asia Corps as well. That reminds me, we have to do a special on them sometime, okay? So now that I've said it, people can keep reminding me in the comments, and Flo will notice, and then we'll do a special on them.\n\nRocky H. writes, \"A question for Out of the Trenches. Maybe it's just my perception, but much seems to be said about German innovations in the Great War. The use of artillery, decentralized command structure, flamethrowers, and gas warfare come first to mind. But I seem to hear less about innovations coming from the Entente.\" Off the top of my head, depth charges and armored vehicles are the only examples I can think of. Can you comment on this seeming disparity in innovation? The German army was, in many ways, actually less innovative on a technical level than the Entente during the war simply because they didn't have the resources to sink into prototypes or mass production. As the war began, the Germans, as well as the Austro-Hungarian army, had access to some of the most technically advanced pieces of war equipment available, sure. But the longer the war progressed, the less they could afford to technically innovate. Now, before you guys start typing your fingers bloody, yes, the Central Powers still produced up-to-date planes and war gear, sure, but nowhere close to the economic capabilities of the Entente. The British had the resources to build their entire army during the war. From a small contingent of professional soldiers to an army outfitted with all sorts of powerful and innovative artillery pieces, tanks, and planes. The French, who fairly quickly outmatched the Germans in heavy artillery and shell manufacturing, could rely on their economy as well to try things out, as you can see in their tank catalogue. In short, the Western Front saw more technical innovation by the Allies because they had the resources, and they could therefore react differently to obstacles and problems. When the Germans built concrete bunkers and wide belts of barbed wire, the Allies saw the resolution to that problem on a technological level. To fight the German machine guns, they would build something that would overcome the German machine guns. The German approach was different. They simply couldn't build on the same scale, so they innovated on the tactical and small arms level. Storm troops, gas, deep defensive, infantry support weapons, things like that. The German army was, of course, able to create weapons like the A7V tank, but what good was that technology, really, if you couldn't mass-produce it?\n\nSummary (Chunk 2 of 3 total):", "response": "Before the outbreak of World War I, Germany and the Ottoman Empire had a pact of military cooperation. Germany would provide military assistance, including arms deals and training, in exchange for economic concessions. German officers and instructors were sent to modernize the Ottoman army, and they played a significant role in reorganizing it. As the war began, many of these German officers continued to lead the soldiers they had trained. On the other hand, a viewer asks about the seeming disparity in innovation between the Central Powers and the Entente. Indy explains that while the German army had access to advanced war equipment at the start of the war, they lacked the resources to continue innovating as the war progressed. The Entente, particularly the British and the French, had the economic capabilities to invest in technical innovation, resulting in advancements such as powerful artillery, tanks, and planes. The Allies could react differently to obstacles and problems on the Western Front because they had the resources to build on a larger scale, while the Germans focused on tactical and small arms innovation."}

The National Assembly was taken by surprise when 20,000 armed workers surrounded the building and easily pushed their way inside. Chaos ensued as speeches were made but not heard, and the demands shifted from supporting Poland to calls for a Ministry of Labor, a Committee on Social Matters, and the resignation of the Executive Commission. As rumors spread that the National Guard was on its way, a speaker declared the dissolution of the National Assembly and the establishment of a new provisional government led by socialist leaders. However, the National Guard arrived and dispersed the demonstration, resulting in the arrest of the leaders. Despite the tense situation, there was no violence or loss of life on May 15th. The repercussions for those involved in the demonstration would be severe.\n\nOriginal (Chunk 6 of 11 total):\nThough the members of the assembly were deeply committed to liberal civil rights, no one had ever said that there were not boundaries that could not be crossed. There were times when the order and safety of the state must take precedence over the liberty of individuals. And so it was in the weeks after May the 15th. Most of the left-wing leaders in Paris were arrested in great sweeps, joining those who had been arrested on May the 15th itself. Left-wing newspapers were occupied and shut down. Left-wing political clubs were forbidden from meeting or organizing. The Workers' Luxembourg Commission was just unceremoniously shuttered.\n\nIt was now clear that the so-called forces of order had declared war on the left. So much so that the Executive Commission also ordered more regular troops into Paris in case a full-blown insurrection did break out. But this all did little for the legitimacy of the Executive Commission in the eyes of conservatives. Despite the crackdown, conservatives blamed the Executive Commission for the events of May the 15th. They accused some of the members of being openly complicit, and those that weren't were hopelessly incompetent. And the ranks of those conservatives grew day by day as the threat posed by the socialist rabble was now starkly obvious to all. With the legitimacy of the Executive Commission now thoroughly compromised, along came the great controversial issue of the day that would help to destroy them and lead directly to the June days, that full-blown insurrection everyone was now waiting for. And what was that great controversial issue? It was the National Workshops that we introduced last week. When they were first created back in February, the workshops were meant to address the needs of about 10,000 unemployed workers in Paris. By mid-June, desperate families from across France flocked to the capital, and there were now more than 100,000 men enrolled in the National Workshops. Now, as we discussed, under Pierre-Marie's intentionally poor management, the workshops were set up to be unpopular with everyone. And, well, this plan had worked. The workers were unhappy with the low wages, the military-style discipline, and, more than anything, the utter pointlessness of their work. One worker complained that pretty soon they would be ordered to put the sun into bottles. But conservatives also hated the workshops. They were a massive expense at a time when the budget deficit was already out of control. And with no real work being done, it was just subsidized laziness. It eroded the moral fiber of the nation. And a few, with a more practical eye, said that congregating that many angry and unemployed workers in Paris was probably pretty dangerous. Which turned out to be true. Even moderate Republicans started arguing that the workshops were only meant to be a temporary emergency measure and that it was time to bring the program to an end. But the threat to end the program rallied the left to the defense of the national workshops. It wasn't that they liked them, but the workshops were now the one real tangible concession that had been made to the working classes after the February Revolution. The Luxembourg Commission had been a disappointment and was now closed. Their newspapers and political clubs were banned. However much they themselves complained about the workshops, the government's plan to shut them down was the final proof that the Second Republic had no interest in the workers' interests. And so, what was left of the left rallied to their defense. The government was not dumb, though, and only hardline conservatives thought it would be a good idea to just shut down the workshops without any kind of plan for those who would be kicked back out into the streets. So ideas started floating around for how to disengage from the workshops, with the most resilient proposal being to transition many of these unemployed workers into the army.\n\nSummary (Chunk 6 of 11 total):", "response": "Following the events of May 15th, the left-wing leaders in Paris were arrested, left-wing newspapers were shut down, and political clubs were forbidden from meeting. The Workers' Luxembourg Commission was also closed. The crackdown by the \"forces of order\" declared war on the left and led to growing conservative criticism of the Executive Commission. The controversial issue of the National Workshops exacerbated the situation, as they became a burden on the budget and were seen as promoting laziness and eroding the moral fiber of the nation. Discussions began on how to disengage from the workshops, with one proposal being to transition unemployed workers into the army.

Philby, born in British India in 1912, came from an Anglo-Indian elite background and was educated at prestigious British institutions. Despite his privileged upbringing, Philby became a supporter of the Labour Party and later embraced communism. He was part of a group of Marxists at Cambridge University, which included Donald McLean, Guy Burgess, Anthony Blunt, and John Cane Cross. Philby's economic tutor, Maurice Dobb, was also a member of the Communist Party. After graduating in 1933, Philby sought advice from Dobb on how to serve the communist cause and was directed to Vienna. There, he played a minor role in the Austrian Civil War before being forced to leave the country. Philby brought his wife, Alice Friedman, who had connections with the chief NKVD recruiter in the UK, Arnold Deutsch. Deutsch's job was to recruit graduates from top universities, providing the NKVD with valuable access to the ruling class.\n\nChunk (2 of 5):\nIn June 1934, Kim Philby was recruited by Arnold Deutsch, an NKVD recruiter, and given the codename \"Sonny.\" Philby was instructed to access circles sympathetic to fascism and Nazism. To blend in, Philby dropped his communist views and adopted right-wing views. He quickly rose through the ranks of various newspapers, including the Anglo-German Trade Gazette and the Times during the Spanish Civil War. In summer 1940, Philby returned to England and decided to join the intelligence services to gather information for Moscow. With the help of his friend Guy Burgess and his journalistic contacts, Philby found his way into SOE. Philby's Cambridge friends, including Burgess, Anthony Blunt, Donald McLean, and Cain Cross, were also involved in espionage. Philby worked his way up in the intelligence community, socializing with upper-class individuals and gathering information for the NKVD. He eventually moved to Section 5, where he copied and passed on detailed information about MI6's counter-espionage activities to his NKVD handler.\n\nChunk (3 of 5):\nElena Modrichinskaya, the head of the British Department at the NKVD Moscow headquarters, suspects that Kim Philby, known as \"Sonny,\" is a triple agent and part of a British deception plot. She is not satisfied with the information Philby is forwarding because it does not include details of British spies in the Soviet Union. Philby gains access to the MI6 Central Registry by befriending the chief registrar with gin. The registry reveals that MI6 has no spies in the Soviet Union and the USSR is a low priority for the British. Despite this, the Soviets react with paranoia and wounded pride. Meanwhile, John Cairncross, lacking in social graces, smuggles decrypted German messages from Bletchley Park to London and hands them over to the NKVD, providing valuable intelligence to the Soviets during the battle of Kursk in 1943.\n\nChunk (4 of 5):\nIn 1943, Kim Philby is promoted to the position of counter-espionage in North Africa and Italy, which increases the paranoia of Elena Modrachinskaya. Despite Philby's communist background and connections to Litzy, a communist and NKVD operative, he and the other members of the Cambridge Five escape suspicion due to the limited resources devoted to searching for communist infiltration and their privileged backgrounds. The British authorities are aware of Soviet espionage but are unaware of the true scale of the problem. Philby's actions are currently limited in their damage to Britain, as Moscow Center does not fully trust their reports and the information they provide to Stalin does not directly harm British interests. However, in the summer of 1944, as thoughts turn to the post-war world, Philby and the Cambridge Five will be recognized as of great value by Moscow Center, and MI6 will establish a new counter-espionage section to combat the threat from the Soviet Union and Communism, with Philby at the helm.\n\nChunk (5 of 5):\nIn conclusion, the article ends by encouraging readers to join the TimeGhost Army for more content.

The dwindling pipeline of new antibiotics compounds the issue. However, when looking at the historical mortality rate, it is evident that most of the reduction occurred prior to the introduction of antibiotics. Antibiotics come in various forms and work by interfering with bacterial growth. They can mimic critical molecules, bind irreversibly to active sites, or compete with natural molecules. The goal is to slow down bacterial growth or kill the bacteria while minimizing toxicity in the host. In contrast, anti-helminthic drugs, used to treat worms, often have higher toxicity as worms are eukaryotes and their cells are similar to human cells.\n\nOriginal (Chunk 2 of 3 total):\nMany antibiotics evolved in the soil environment. And that's where there's a tremendous amount of co-evolution going on among bacteria and fungi to inhibit competitors and things like that. It's been going on for billions of years. And if you just take a sample out of the soil and plate it out, you get a lot of diversity. And you can see, for example, where this little ring here is on the plate, that whatever is growing here is killing everything that might want to attack it. That's been cleared. Here's another example right here. If you then isolate one strain from here and plate it out onto basically a lawn of bacteria, you can see antibiotic being produced by each of these isolates.\n\nOkay, so antibiotics evolved a long time ago. And resistance to antibiotics evolved a long time ago and in places far, far away. Why is that important? It's important because of horizontal transfer. Essentially, a huge library of information on how to resist antibiotics exists out there in nature. Horizontal transfer means that one bacterium can take that information, that library, and give it to another bacterium. It can do it either through bacterial sex or mediated by a virus that jumps between them, or it can do it just by having some of its DNA out in the soil after it dies and gets eaten by another bacterium. This is the result. Here is a cassette of antibiotic resistance genes in Salmonella typhimurium. And you can see that it's got genes that cause resistance to streptomycin, spectinomycin, chloramphenicol, fluorphenicol, tetracycline, gentomycin, and so forth. And they're all lined up next to each other, which means that this whole unit of genetic information can be clipped out and handed to another bacterium. How rapidly does antibiotic resistance evolve? Well, it evolves very rapidly. As a matter of fact, when Alexander Fleming first isolated penicillin, he picked up resistance to penicillin in his lab within six months. Penicillin was released much more broadly in 1943, and resistance was observed two years later. Chloramphenicol was released in 1949, and resistance in 1950, and so forth. Every time we release a new antibiotic, resistance to it evolves. A study done in the UK indicated that if a new antibiotic is released in the UK, resistance will evolve in the UK in about six months. And in the modern global environment, it will arrive in Hong Kong within two years, spreading around the world. A good example is staphylococcus. We call methicillin-resistant staph MRSA, or multiply-resistant staph. Staphylococcus evolved resistance to penicillin four years after it became commercially available. It evolved resistance to methicillin after methicillin was used, which took a couple of decades. Then there was a switch to vancomycin. Within about five or six years, resistance evolved to vancomycin. Linazolids were introduced, and two years later, resistance to linazolids was reported. So this bacterium is now becoming very threatening. The concept I've been trying to imply is that we discover and deploy a new antibiotic, resistance evolves, we go back, we try to discover another one, resistance evolves. That is called the antibiotic treadmill or the drug bug co-evolutionary arms race. In the case of amoxicillin, it cost about $4 to $24 to treat a patient. Resistance evolved, then clavulanic acid and Augmentin were added, and that cost about $64 to $172. And then resistance evolved to that. So not only does resistance evolve, but it gets more expensive to treat patients. The cost of treating antibiotic resistance for Staph A in hospital infections was about $2-7 billion when it was penicillin-resistant, and about $8 billion when it became methicillin-resistant. For community-acquired staph infections, it's about $14-21 billion. The overall cost of treating staph is somewhere between $25-35 billion a year. If we look at something like AIDS, then we have to ask ourselves, why does treating AIDS cost so much?\n\nSummary (Chunk 2 of 3 total):", "response": "Antibiotics have evolved over billions of years in the soil environment, where bacteria and fungi co-evolve to inhibit competitors. When isolating strains from the soil and placing them on a plate with bacteria, it can be observed that these strains produce antibiotics. The importance of this evolution is that it has resulted in a vast library of information on antibiotic resistance in nature. Horizontal transfer allows bacteria to share this resistance information with each other through various means such as bacterial sex or mediated by viruses. Antibiotic resistance evolves rapidly, with resistance to penicillin appearing within six months of its discovery. Every time a new antibiotic is released, resistance to it evolves. Studies have shown that if a new antibiotic is released in the UK, resistance will evolve in about six months and spread globally within two years. This evolution of resistance has led to the concept of the antibiotic treadmill or the drug bug co-evolutionary arms race. Additionally, the cost of treating antibiotic resistance increases over time, making it more expensive to treat patients. The cost of treating antibiotic-resistant Staph A infections ranges from $25-35 billion per year."}

They talk about Max's last name and his childhood nickname, as well as the unfortunate history of Ukraine and other mistreated nations. They also mention that Lysenko's policies were implemented in the USSR, causing the purge of genetic scientists who disagreed with him and resulting in widespread starvation. In the next part of the episode, they will discuss the impact of Lysenkoism in Chairman Mao's China.\n\nChunk (2 of 18):\nIn this episode, the hosts discuss the rise of Mao Zedong in 1949 and his promise to create a perfect state in China. Mao's propaganda campaign convinced the Chinese people that utopia was within reach and that China would surpass every other country in achieving communism. One of Mao's promises was to double or triple food production within a year. However, this led to concerns of an excess of food, so a program was implemented to eliminate pests such as sparrows. The slogan \"work hard for a few years, happiness for 1,000\" reflected the belief that once society was perfected, all problems would be solved.\n\nChunk (3 of 18):\nMao Zedong's vision of a perfect utopian state in China was intoxicating for the Chinese people who had suffered through decades of civil war and invasion. Mao believed in the Soviet propaganda about record harvests and embraced a scientific approach that prioritized recklessness and boldness over meticulous research. He encouraged people to dream big and act daringly in order to achieve rapid success. However, Mao's disregard for scientific reality and his preference for reckless experimentation would have disastrous consequences.\n\nChunk (4 of 18):\nDuring Mao Zedong's early years in power in China, he was trying to impress the Communist Soviet Union with his adoption of their methods. He wanted to prove that he could do communism better than them. Mao believed that his extensive knowledge of Soviet agricultural propaganda and his reading of Lysenkoist procedures prepared him to reform China's agricultural infrastructure. Although China had experienced multiple famines due to civil war, the promise of no more famines was enticing to the Chinese people. Mao's plan to change China's intricate agricultural system was similar to the East India Company's attempt to change everything in India. In China, scientists with experience and education were considered useless and cowardly. Mao believed that being a great scientist required recklessness and that even children could be great scientists. Propaganda books like \"They Are Creating Miracles\" portrayed children in elementary schools developing new crops on experimental plots, presenting these stories as fact rather than fiction.\n\nChunk (5 of 18):\nMao Zedong became infatuated with the ideas of Soviet scientists like Lysenko, Williams, and Maturin, which he believed could change the nature of plants and lead to rapid transformations. He didn't delve deeply into the science but was captivated by the connections between Stalin's ideas and the scientific theories. Mao proposed having Chinese peasants plant seeds close together, believing that plants of the same type couldn't compete with each other. The Chinese Communist Party adopted Lysenkoist ideas and persecuted experts in genetics. Soviet science was dominant, and even diseases and inherited traits were renamed in Lysenko's honor. This led to a lack of policies to prevent close relatives from marrying and passing down harmful genes, resulting in the birth of \"true idiots.\" There were few bourgeois scientists in China at the time, and they sought to connect with scientists worldwide to uncover the truth. However, Mao's obsession with Lysenkoist ideas hindered scientific progress.\n\nChunk (6 of 18):\nDuring Mao Zedong's reign, Lysenko's theory had a devastating impact on Chinese agriculture. A potato blight in the 1950s was attributed to environmental causes rather than a lack of potato biodiversity. Research contradicting this theory was suppressed, resulting in a significant decrease in potato production. While grafting and crossing different plant species became popular, it was not a practical solution for mass agriculture. Chinese state news spread fanciful stories of plants being crossbred, such as pumpkins with papaya and corn with rice, although these claims were mostly false. Different districts competed with each other to claim wild successes in plant breeding, similar to the trend of showcasing oversized fruits in the news today.\n\nChunk (7 of 18):\nDuring Mao Zedong's reign, there was a craze over a new science in China that inspired people to experiment with plants and claim wild successes in plant breeding. However, this enthusiasm for the new science had negative consequences during the Great Leap Forward, which began in 1958. As part of this plan, countless backyard furnaces and steel smelting plants were created in peasant villages, but they did not produce good quality steel. The Great Leap Forward also involved an eight-point blueprint for Chinese agriculture based on the theories of Lysenko. These points included close planting and deep plowing, which the Soviet Union knew did not work. Despite this knowledge, China implemented these practices because they believed the Soviet Union would have shared any negative findings. As a result, Chinese farmers were ordered to plant significantly more seedlings per acre of farmland, leading to the death of almost all the seedlings. State propaganda photographers even staged photographs to make it appear as if the crops were growing successfully, but in reality, they were struggling to grow.\n\nChunk (8 of 18):\nDuring the Great Leap Forward, Chinese propagandists manipulated photographs to make it appear that crops were thriving, even though millions of farmers were witnessing their crops dying. This was done out of a mix of fear and a desire to please Chairman Mao. Witnesses recalled instances where rice plants were gathered from other fields and tightly packed together to create the illusion of abundance. Mao's doctor also witnessed similar staging in other cities Mao visited. Mao became infatuated with the idea of planting seeds deep in the ground, believing that planting them even deeper would yield better results. This led to armies of peasants digging deep furrows and even blasting holes with dynamite to plant seeds. Farmers were also prohibited from using chemical fertilizers and instead had to rely on a mixture of manure and dirt, which often resulted in the mixing of random garbage with the soil.\n\nChunk (9 of 18):\nDuring the Great Leap Forward, Chinese peasants resorted to extreme measures to create fertilized soil, including using garbage, broken glass, and even their own waste. Mao's government expected crop yields to triple as a result of these efforts, but it also led to an increase in pests. In response, farmers were ordered to exhaust sparrows to death. Despite the chaotic methods, the propaganda made it appear that the autumn harvest had quadrupled in 1958. However, this was all lies propagated by the government. Citizens were told to eat as much as they could, leading to a rapid depletion of the food supply. Peasants irresponsibly consumed all their rice in just 20 days, which should have lasted six months. The situation revealed the reckless attitude towards food and overconsumption.\n\nChunk (10 of 18):\nDuring the Great Leap Forward, Chinese peasants were ordered to consume their entire winter food supply in a few weeks, leading to a period of abundance and optimism. However, this reckless consumption quickly depleted the food supply, leaving the granaries empty and the country running out of food by winter. Mao, instead of distributing the food, accused the peasants of hiding grain and doubled grain exports to maintain the appearance of success. The collective farming system meant that farmers had no control over the food they produced, as it was under the control of party functionaries who prioritized their own careers. By spring 1959, over 24 million people were starving in China, but Mao refused to take responsibility for the failures of the Great Leap Forward and saw them as necessary \"tuition fees.\"\n\nChunk (11 of 18):\nDuring the Great Leap Forward, Mao had a dismissive attitude towards the worsening conditions in the countryside. When his aides expressed concerns about the shortages and starvation, Mao responded by saying that China would not collapse over shortages of vegetables, hairpins, and soap. He suggested that tension was unnecessary and recommended taking sleeping pills to ease anxiety. Mao believed that the failures of his plan were due to selfish individuals who were hoarding grain and not following the government's instructions. He refused to admit any flaws in his ideological theories and instead doubled down on his revolutionary rhetoric, accusing those who did not support the leap forward of being rightist conservatives. Mao's refusal to acknowledge errors and make necessary changes contributed to the worsening situation in China.\n\nChunk (12 of 18):\nDuring the Great Leap Forward, while the peasants were suffering from food shortages and famine, the Communist Party members, including Mao and other cadres, were well-fed and even had an excess of grain. The government falsely reported the harvest as the highest ever to avoid reporting failure to Mao. As a result, they imposed extremely high taxes on the peasants, requiring them to hand over 40% of their total output, even if it exceeded what they actually had. This led to peasants being forced to give up all their food and sometimes more. Mao also ordered officials to set quotas for livestock and eggs, resulting in a brutal campaign where peasants were tortured and beaten to death. The situation in China worsened as a result of these policies and actions.\n\nChunk (13 of 18):\nDuring the Great Leap Forward, the Chinese government imposed high taxes on peasants, forcing them to hand over 40% of their total output, even if they didn't have enough. Mao also set quotas for livestock and eggs, leading to a brutal campaign where peasants were tortured and beaten to death. The government falsely reported high harvests to hide the failure and continued to export grain to other countries. As a result, the provinces that produced the most food during the famine were the ones where the most peasants starved. The Great Famine lasted until 1961 and resulted in the deaths of an estimated 25 to 30 million people.\n\nChunk (14 of 18):\nThe Great Famine during the Great Leap Forward resulted in an estimated death toll of 25 to 30 million people, roughly half the death toll of World War II. The famine was caused by various bad policy decisions, with Lysenkoism being a major contributing factor. Trofim Lysenko, a Soviet scientist, was responsible for many deaths and his dominance in agricultural science began to decline after Stalin's death in 1953. Lysenko's failures included a plan to change Russia's climate by planting millions of trees too closely together, which resulted in their death. In 1962, post-purge Soviet scientists started to dismantle the myth of Lysenko, and in 1964, physicist Andrei Sakharov denounced Lysenko to the Russian Academy of Sciences.\n\nChunk (15 of 18):\nTrofim Lysenko, a Soviet scientist, faced strong criticism and condemnation from physicist Andrei Sakharov and the Expert Commission for his pseudo-scientific views and the detrimental effects they had on Soviet biology and genetics. In 1965, Lysenko was removed from his position and sent to a small experimental farm where his fraudulent methods were exposed by an expert commission. Lysenko attempted to defend himself by arguing that the details of his experiments were irrelevant and that his reported results should be trusted. He also claimed that his theories were aligned with communism and had always enjoyed the support of the party and state. However, Lysenko's lack of precision and reliance on selective reporting of data were criticized by the investigating commission. The delay in recognizing and addressing Lysenkoism had devastating consequences, including the deaths of millions of people.\n\nChunk (16 of 18):\nTrofim Lysenko, the Soviet scientist who promoted pseudo-scientific views on genetics and biology, is criticized for the devastating consequences of his beliefs. The Soviet Union finally recognized the error of Lysenkoism and allowed agricultural scientists to resume actual science. However, they did not analyze the extent of the damage caused by Lysenkoism. Lysenko died in obscurity, but his ideas are experiencing a resurgence in Russia due to the emergence of epigenetics, which suggests that certain environmental factors can be passed down to future generations. Despite this, epigenetics does not support Lysenko's denial of the existence of genes.\n\nChunk (17 of 18):\nEpigenetics, which suggests that certain environmental factors can be passed down to future generations, is a relatively recent field of study. However, it is important to note that Trofim Lysenko, the scientist who denied the existence of genes and promoted pseudo-scientific views, should not be credited for the emergence of epigenetics. The resurgence of Lysenko's ideas in Russia is not solely due to ideological principles but also stems from a longing for the past and a lack of understanding of the negative consequences of Lysenkoism. This resurgence is concerning because it opens up the possibility of Lysenko's flawed science causing harm once again. The episode concludes with a light-hearted conversation about seed goo balls and a reflection on the importance of learning from history.\n\nChunk (18 of 18):\nIn the final chunk, the host promotes seedgooballs.com and provides a promo code. He jokingly mentions that the balls are heavy and not good for eating. He also shares his social media handles and the podcast's website. The host invites listeners to come up with a portmanteau of \"Trofim\" and \"Renaissance\" and mentions that the next episode will discuss another terrible person. The chunk concludes with the host expressing his affection for about 40% of the listeners.\n\nFinal Summary:", "response": "\"Behind the Bastards\" podcast, hosted by Robert Evans and Max Silvestri, discusses the impact of Soviet scientist Trofim Lysenko's pseudoscientific theories on the Soviet Union and Mao Zedong's China, resulting in widespread starvation and the death of millions. Lysenko's policies purged genetic scientists in the USSR and were implemented by Chairman Mao in China, leading to devastating agricultural failures during the Great Leap Forward. Mao's blind faith in Lysenko's theories led to reckless agricultural practices like close planting and deep plowing, exacerbating food shortages and contributing to the Great Famine from 1958 to 1961, which resulted in an estimated 25 to 30 million deaths. Despite witnessing the disastrous consequences of these policies, Mao remained dismissive and refused to acknowledge their failure, further worsening the situation. Lysenko's dominance in agricultural science began to decline post-Stalin's death, and he was finally denounced in 1964 by physicist Andrei Sakharov to the Russian Academy of Sciences. However, recent years have seen a dangerous resurgence of Lysenko's ideas in Russia due to a misunderstanding of the field of epigenetics. The podcast emphasizes the importance of learning from history to prevent the recurrence of such devastating consequences."}
