1 I'm only half way through pod so maybe opinions change. I found character to be bad Hollywood stereotypes turned up to 11, and being so many of them made it even more tiering/flat to watch. And the tech billion is in my view offensive because it painting "insensitive tech billions with autism" instead of simply they just "insensitive a-holes". It fells like take character, and that is what he is doing that not his speach he is playing a character, from another movie that director saw and went I want that, but with this added association people will make to make a my view bad person, which just continues Hollywood portrays of groups of people for enjoyment of the masses, which is actually counter to the movies message.

To add what could have been different with this this character - keep them trying to fix the issue instead of running off. leave the running off to president

This episode was SO GOOD! The discussion was fantastic. Personally, I fully agree with Dave and Devindra on DLU, but love the respectful and passionate back and forth. I almost screamed in absolute agreement when Dave brought up Search Party as a better example.
