Alright, I am live on the YouTube.

I went whenever I say the YouTube and then the commenters are like, he calls it the YouTube

like he's an 80 year old.

Yeah, you know, little tongue and cheek, my friends little tongue and cheek.

So there's a lot going on as you know, as you are trapped in your house, possibly alone, possibly with your family, maybe with some friends, maybe with some animals.

We're all sort of in the same situation where we're in South Korea or we're in Italy or we're in Belarus or the United States or Canada or Mexico or anywhere else.

There's various degrees of quarantine, there's various degrees of lockdown, but there is something truly unprecedented happening at a worldwide scale.

And it's not that we've never had pandemics before, but the way that we can actually communicate through this, the way we can share information, the way that lies, can spread, the way that truth can spread, the way that our leaders can guide us in a positive direction or guide us in a negative direction.

There's so many things happening right now that are just completely have never been done before.

And you know, unfortunately, it doesn't seem like we have a lot of people that are making real sense of it.

You know, when the IDW, the intellectual dark web thing was burned in real hot like a year and a half, two years ago, the real key to the whole thing was, it wasn't something actually that special or unique, except that we live in a odd time, was just that we had a bunch of people who thought all sorts of different things.

Right, I always use venture Piro and Sam Harris as the best examples of this, two guys who believe in completely different things at every level from abortion to taxes to, you know, the biggest questions about the universe and God and belief and all that, that we were all just willing to try to make sense of the world together.

And I think that's really what we need more of now. And that's why I thought this week or today actually, because you guys know I keep a whole bunch of books, these are all books of former guests on the set that I keep here.
