I found this whole series so incredibly inspiring. I run my own studio and it’s alienating and I often feel isolated from my peers so it was pretty cathartic to hear from someone who’s gone through it all and come out the other side in one piece. Thank you so much to John for being so generous with his time and YC for putting this all together.

I’m crying! This series has been incredibly inspiring. That Boz Scaggs story at the end is just the best little gift. Still smiling. THANK YOU

Weird that she went and got racial about it all of a sudden out of nowhere, like... what... ?

Great review of the creative way

Hey I’d love to hear an ep where you and the war nerd evaluate why you were so wrong about the invasion of Ukraine. Nothing to be ashamed about, but let’s figure out where we went wrong and how US intelligence was correct Signed, Chomsky lover

This strikes me as reasonable, and I'd also be interested in hearing a clearheaded account of how they got it wrong, but in fairness I think figuring that out is gonna take some doing. Nobody cares what I think, and I didn't pontificate about it on social media, but I was also pretty confident there wouldn't be an invasion because it didn't make sense given my model of Russian interests, i.e. that they don't want largescale confrontation with NATO, don't want to risk a prolonged insurgency on their border, and already had good reasons to believe Ukraine wouldn't be allowed to join NATO. Clearly there was something wrong with how I was thinking about this, but I need info I don't have to evaluate how I came to this clearly flawed model, and that's the more interesting question.

It's because Merrill Garbus is the archetypical cringe lib who views every single thing through a supposedly anti-racist (but actually extremely racist) lens. I don't understand how anyone can be a fan of her music when it's basically the most annoying NPR story you've ever heard sung poorly over poly-rhythms by a demented kindergarten teacher. It's not much of an overstatement to say the influx of theater kids like her sucked out what little vitality remained in independent music.

it wasn't just trueanon that was wrong (although they are still correct in some of the things they said) but a lot of people didn't believe russia was going to invade. Even Zelenskyy doubted it.

It’s pretty easy we got it wrong because the a) US government lies constantly and b) a Russian invasion was and is a really bad idea so didn’t think they’d be that stupid

This was really good! So cool that Congleton was involved- loved that guy since the first paper chase album
