Sagar is an incredibly engaging storyteller and conversationalist, and I was particularly moved by his phlegmatic view of democratic chaos and his hope for the future of the United States. I think he is a better American than most people inside our borders (many such cases)

overall, was just a blast talking with him, and I find myself leaning toward Indofuturism as a plausible and actually-pretty-good outcome of the 21st century and with that I'm going to sleep until noon, take care all :)

Listened to the whole thing. The bit about the constant fear of poverty really resonates with me - it's why we're such sticklers for saving, even in countries with generous welfare states. Case in point - my german friends barely save and it boggles my mind!

@sagar__dubey 's conclusion on europe being a dead player is something most Indians I know in europe also share! Wonder why. Personally, it feels like complacency is the big driver but curious to hear your thoughts - Show replies
