Very intriguing to see how much of Roberts audience already had a tie to Don Mei. Will definitely have to do some digging. Thanks for introducing us to such diverse minds Robert!

[robertof.]

I thought YouTube had a glitch when I saw Don on Robert’s signature background thumbnail. Can’t believe the two worlds I’ve been following for years merged today.

[YommiOfficial]

This is so strange! I've been following Don's youtube channel for years (This morning I actually drank some Amethyst Gaba from Mei Leaf). He's great.

I went to China a while ago and got right into tea for a few years after. Back home i slowly just went back to coffee. This has inspired me to drink more tea again! Thank you!

[radia]

WAIT WHAT THE FUCK WHY IS DON ON HERE
What an unbelievably pleasant surprise. I've been drinking his tea for years now.

[Mike-fkxj]

I buy so much tea from don. was pretty surprised to see him on your podcast.

Chi is bioelectricity. Or maybe neg-entropy/self organizing force. Amazing talk about triggering limb regeneration in amphibians I heard recently, he was using purely electrical signals. Bioelectricity is real

Hi in my opinion this question has been solved by Louis Kelso and is most refined by the philosophy called the Just Third Way. A law was recently passed in the state of Missouri to work toward a local implementation. Can we discuss Robert? Thanks for what you are doing!

Great conversation. Really helped me connect some dots regarding Bitcoiner culture, especially the “cyber hornet” phenomenon. Say what you will about the benefits of the cyber hornets, it’s a very clear demonstration of collectivism on display. A collective of individualists behaving as collectivists.

35:34 Chi is the inherent goodness of Heaven. Polarity pervades all the cosmos but light is better than dark. Even the most negative and hateful metalheads use the word “good” to describe their favorite bands. The concept is unavoidable.
