        Steven you will have to check with david @gorskon if you are allowed to speak with Michael. David is now the leader of the speech control police and he decides who everyone is allowed to speak to. He is a brain surgeon... SO BE CAREFUL!

        Cant wait to hear two semi-intelligent people put 10% of their effort into genuinely understanding the world and 90% on staying within the mainstream narrative. "Censorship- muh private company" "Marxism - ho ho ho I lived through a red scare once" "Trump - muh dangerous"

        Are you familiar with their work? Both their schticks are standing in the shallow end of the Overton Window purporting to be looking into the deep topics at the edges of reality.

        Is it just me, or does the poster/image look like they're pushing a debate between left- and right-brain thinking?

        I think Pangburn will own the video....so far they have been hosting "IDW events" & they have been slow to release the videos....kind of frustrating...the release date for JBP and Sam Harris Vancouver event is 8/17 which puts it about 2 months from the date of the event.

        That timeline puts this video out in Nov. I think that kind of delay slows down the conversation since many events and subsequent conversations happen in between those 2 months..sounds weird to say it's happening that fast..but also exciting..
