Usually enjoy Douglas’s podcast and particularly liked his analysis of the scientific wing of the Epstein class. As a non-elite scientist I demand better representation by the “guiding lights”. Not all of us are card carrying reductionist materialists.

The cure to tech addiction is uninterrupted thought; boredom that is allowed to morph into creativity without the impediment of neon distraction. ... more
