Thank you

Thanks, just started reading his ideas. Just FYI, it’s “Ko-Zhyp-Ski”. Rz is a Zh sound in Polish.

Thanks for this - excited to read science & sanity! One bit of feedback is the way you begin sentences puts feedback into the mic, try putting a compressor or at least editing the volume during the beginning of sentences for smoother listening experience 🤙
