Living Outside the Matrix - Epi-3624

I would really love an episode on raising children out of The matrix. I have two kids now under 2 years old and the main thing on my mind is how to raise them to be independent and free from the matrix. I think it would make a great episode.

You know what I just realized. I remember watching a very widely disseminated video in March of 2020. It was a video of Chinese people being welded inside of their apartment buildings. Now that I realize it, I don't know if that was real. What if that was just released so that everyone would feel like 2 weeks to slow the spread wasn't that big of a deal... at least we're not being welded inside our apartments like in China.
