Hi guys,
So just a behind-the-scenes update. The Douglas Murray interview we are using is 4 hours(!) so it is taking Matt and me a bit longer to get through and clip. In part because it is so...

Chris makes Matt stay up way too late to discuss the potential features that will make up the Gurometer. This is the kind of sleep-deprived conversations that only Patrons deserve to hear. Any sugg...
