Comments on “Ctrl-Alt-Speech: Presidents & Precedents”
I think I’m going to have to pick up Noah Yuval Harari’s works that Ben talked about. I strongly believe that we are in that trough. There’s something that catches in my head when Mike says “before society wraps its head around it” and talks about it further, where Mike feels like he’s got the tone that he’s got it all figured out in that it’s complex and we need to take time, and everyone else needs to get with the program.
