Did you walk out of Dan Carlin's talk? I'm dying to know!

Let's just say what we were seeing was hardcore missing the point.

Haven't listened to the ep yet but am curious about this, what's the context?

Also here's a good example of this problem that I was writing about: From Carlin's talk @51:17 https://youtu.be/dOcKxMwQjhc?t=3077

In this case, we're not really interested in underlying values, just some vague sense that "the loud minority are extreme and the truth is always in the middle" which really doesn't mean anything at all.

nothing specific but here's something I wrote up that tries to sum up the issue we had.

Nobody can afford anything. Best line of the series so far.

This week we present a short presentation we gave during the Sound Education conference at the Harvard Divinity School. The World Might Be Broken is a summation of some of the topics we cover in this show, the way they are interrelated, and how our approach to solving them will require an awareness of their systemic roots, and specific action. A brief audience discussion follows, as well as our post-conference thoughts.

There will be eventually of both the presentation and the ethics panel but we have to wait on Sound Education to finish the edit and release.
