I went on a hike today with my brother. Went in 9 am with Biden as president and left at 3 pm with a whole nother president. We didn't have signal for those 7 hours and found it funny to consider it was entirely possible we come out to nuclear armageddon or civil uprising. Obligatory "lol"

Do I continue my 260 day running streak which has acted as therapy and distraction from the literal world burning. Yeah I think I will choose to flare up my asthma and risk lung cancer because sitting and being forced look at the state of the world right now feels worse.

Maybe Emil doesn't check these comments after a few days of posting but here's my two cents. I hope that you Emil along with Ben and other colleagues of your guys' can scratch a little deeper. Listening to Ezra Klein with Kara Swisher on the radicalization of Elon Musk and Klein's ideas of what trump is really doing, has been very hopeful. We take away their power by not giving them legitimacy, pushing back against their narratives and as Ezra puts it by, "not believing him." You have a significant platform and I'm excited to watch and read your work this year. Also with the hope that you don't chase the red herring of trump headlines and look more broadly at what the party is doing and push against that using empathy, stories, and solutions for the future. Love and appreciate the pod, this substack, and your unique perspectives.

Hey Emil! Long time listener, first time stacker. This was a wonderful read. Unrelated, what's the name of that 'brick' app you use to disable apps on your phone?

i could be wrong, but i’m fairly certain it’s this one: https://getbrick.app/

i’ve also been thinking about getting it and it looks like it’s 10% off your first order rn!
