Only caught the last little bit but sounded like a fascinating episode I’ll have to catch the beginning later.

Agreed. Take chances to learn something that isn't "practical" while you are in college. You are studying to find out who you are and who you want to be. Everything else is filler.

Also, of course Andrew’s always up to big things and trying to help people, but I hope one of your next big ideas would be related to saving YOUR city even though you didn’t win the election. I live in NYC, I was a bit surprised that you didn’t make a single tweet about Henri (though obviously you have zero obligation to), and I’m still holding my breath that on top of advocating for UBI and other reforms, you’ll be doing specific things for NYC.

Yang gets the future of sports media, Zach and Carley get the Afghan situation plus other more important things….. hmmm that doesn’t seem right 🤔 .

This is a great episode. Your marketing is off though. Even as someone who follows just about every episode, the way the episode is announced on Facebook, the conversation format, the thumbnail, they all scream to potential audience that you’ll just be interviewing the same person about the same topic except with a differemt face.

This turns out to be wildly inaccurate but if a long-time follower is getting that feeling maybe you should switch it up.

Hey Andrew 🧢, Dan said something important about America being built on choice that made me think maybe you should frame UBI as a program with a menu of choices where at the beginning of each year individuals make a choice on where to invest their UBI, from straight cash, housing, healthcare, college or retirement where you can get a bigger bang for the buck in certain areas due to pooling and then maybe we could unite the fractured left behind a cure all idea since they cannot imagine how pure cash would solve all the problems they worry about #YangGangForever

Yang, economic punishment for not complying to body subjugation is what you envision supporting? Mr Humanity you.

Yes, I Love Japanese + Asian culture's... I need social games. Health conditions keep me on house arrest for life. In the first few years of WOW you could talk to people world wide. 15 years on WOW 3 friends over 10 years now. Game Names. Pre 2016. Do you think it would be ok to call myself ( NiZui ) since we're having such a hard time with china? I can articulate SO Much better behind a keyboard. Tell me when you get the new games. You know so few people watch ESPN. I bet you'll get more people with decades of Japanime.? / I prefer soccer over football - I mean, Football over Football ;D / Like it or not technology is making people dumber. I think it is just pore evolution for now. (( Independent Party )) Evolution or Revolution? Like always it's Money over Morels!!!
