Jon Ronson asked you not to quote Graham Linehan article as he was protecting his mental health and had chosen not to read it but you went straight ahead. Just wanted to point that out.

Krishnan nailed it when he asked why AS’ first reaction to the Hamas slaughter and rape on 7 October 2023, was to worry about the impact on the residents of Gaza when the Israelis responded. Not a thought for the innocent people who Hamas attacked.
Apple Podcasts4Mike N21United Kingdoma month ago The host is too soft and doesn't fight back when he's lied to his face. Interesting but infuriating when people are let free to rewrite history apologetically.

He speaks very fast and with great energy and conviction but doesn’t really say anything about how exactly theses changes could be made. It was all headlines and little substance. It seems he anticipates a world where humans are nothing more than machine minders in another mode. Poor us.
