Glad you're on here, Marc! Love your show! Strongly disagree with you about political relinquishment! Strongly agree with you about everything else political (so far), except veganism (if you consider that political). I don't hold really strong opinions on veganism. I'm in Kurzweil's camp on that one, so it's a mix of agreement and disagreement, while favoring a near-term trend toward lab-grown meat that doesn't suffer. Also favor eating "as low on the food chain as is comfortable." Then again, if Americans don't need cows, cows might go extinct, because Americans have a tendency to be "as ignorant as possible, given the life-or-death constraints," and tend to displace what they do not use.
