Camps of opinion · 2Positions people took on this topic in transcripts, grouped by school of thought. The bar shows each camp's share of the people sorted into a camp. It is not a poll and not a share of any audience, and people whose position fit no camp are left out of it. Within a camp, people with demonstrated expertise on the topic come first, then those who reached the most listeners on it. Positions are extracted from transcripts by a model and may misattribute who said what. Every quote links to the episode it came from.
