Hello, Hireside Shatters!

You know it's not often I jump in before an interview to add context, but a lot of

unprecedented things are happening these days.

Of course as I've mentioned, the coronavirus chaos really caused me to have to change

up the order of interviews and scramble to get some that truly addressed this situation

out to you first.

Like I've said before, it's kind of like recording four interviews right before 9-11.

You can't just proceed as scheduled and have several weeks go by without addressing this

big crazy situation that just happened.

And it's bittersweet because this was the main interview that kind of had to be put on

the back burner.

And it's with a guess that I've been wanting to sit down with for years.

So I kind of hate to have this small asterisk on it, but we did make it happen.

And I finally got a chance to ask him some of the things I've wanted to hear him weigh

in on things we might call uphology or disclosure adjacent.

And then boom, we kind of hit this full on worldwide threat level midnight situation.

So I apologize to him for the long delay, but towards the end of the first hour, Richard

does share his thoughts on the state of things and the technocracy and the surveillance

state.

And in these new, strange times, just a few weeks later, his words have even more weight,

I would say.

But I hope you're all keeping your humanity and really taking care of the people around
