The long form Podcast is a breath of fresh air, just stripped back content with no music or filler, so simple but incredibly engaging

It’s insane to me how rare these calm intellectual conversations are didn’t mean to start a war in the replies 😭

Lex really brought out the best in Jordan, it felt like the classic JP who is all about truth and humanity and not so much about politics. Two great minds that complement and encourage each other to explore the depths of humanity, awesome work.

Lex: Well, let me ask you a difficult question JP: As opposed to the easy ones that you've been asking so far Lex: Well, uh, Dostoevsky is always just a warm-up

I've never felt more strongly that I should be wearing a tie while listening to an episode of a podcast.

“voluntary exposure to that which terrifies you in small portions is curative.” Thanks Jordan for such encouragement.

ITS GOOD TO BE ALIVE TODAY...
