Very interesting guest with a world of knowledge, examples, facts and figures. Shame the interviewer kept interrupting and inserting his own paradigms.

Interesting interview. It's is a great experience to listen to a patient who isn't aware of his cognitive dissonance and ambiguity tolerance–intolerance.

I love Rob, but he needs to stop talking over the guests. Just wait a few seconds later for for them to finish before you make your clarifying point. It's distracting and disrespectful. Otherwise, great interview. Well done.

It's all REALLY simple. When the love of power trumps the love of truth, innovation shrivels on the vine. Where the love of truth trumps the love of power, innovation explodes - explains early Islam, the industrial revolution, and the loss of Chinese hegemony all in one go.
