Episode Details

I've been thinking a lot about Harvard lately, and a revealing podcast interview with the top editorial person at Wired.

Elon Musk wasn't over-exposed, he burned out. If he hadn't saluted like a Nazi, boasted about putting USAid in a wood chipper, pranced around on stage with a chainsaw, and done so much damage to the US government, we still don't know how much, he could have chilled out, sold a fleet of Teslas to Trump, and gone on to his next adventure. We would have all been glued to our sets.

Twitter elected a president in 2016. We looked the other way. Jan 6 failed, we went back to sleep for four years and woke up in a way we never have.

Big change was coming, and now it has arrived at the door of Harvard. A university that was home to the American Revolution.

Lots of ideas in this podcast.
