Fracturing on the Left
How is it possible to foment true unity on the Left in order to move us forward? Throughout history leftwing movements have been beset by divisiveness and fracturing and implosion. Right now we're in a quagmire of infighting. Meanwhile, the ruling elites and those invested in the status quo laugh themselves silly at our folly. There are visions on the Left for effecting change that are wildly different: violence vs non-violence, as one example. Incrementalism vs revolution is another that has played out through history. How do we create a carapace around our movements that ensures that the movement itself doesn't lose momentum because of internecine disputes? How can we succeed where so many others have failed?
Is the internet crippling corporations
Do you believe that the internet has had an effect on on how corporate news chooses their coverage and do you consider it harmful for the future of media and and news. I personally think it is crippling them but has created a sort of free market for independant news coverage which i consider to be better.
Long-Form conversations
It doesn't make sense for long form discussions to be the only content you have, BUT, I love long-form podcasts. Typically, these typically have a single interviewer (Joe Rogan, Lex Fridman, Julia Galef, etc) but I bet you both would excel in a format where you ask follow up questions based on what the interviewee said to the other's question. You both agree enough to make conversations pleasant (most of the time :D.. I also love when you disagree). You disagree enough to make the conversations interesting, and hard to predict. Lastly, you give a shit enough to make the conversations engaging. I would love long-form conversations maybe once a week with a guest with a LOT of knowledge about one topic or another. I bet over time, you'd get more mainstream people on, and (cross fingers) maybe you could topple at least part of the walled garden in DC. Best of luck on your show!
