I will just say it: my brain has improved dramatically because of this podcast.

I honestly do not know if I would have ever made it back to school without this podcast. Other podcasts would not have worked.

Dr. Suri and Zachary "process" their information. It is a "conversation." It "invites you in." "They are experts" but experts in the vein of morality + democratickness + political psychology.

I need to work on what Zach and Dr. Suri can do:

Sit in the middle and zero in and take bullets. I am too greedy for the truth too much too often.

My favorite all-time guest was the female, black American Air Force officer. They way she spoke... so presidential... I just felt a shiver down my spine.

I honestly, sincerely feel that Zachary is "writing to me" every poem!

Wow!

300th episode! Greatest podcast in world history! (History as it Happens is a close 2nd)

All it needs is a few more very famous people. Episode 500 and 1000!!!

I'm not sure I really like Zachary. I am extremely jealous!!!

Make him be a custodian for a summer or volunteer at a job where he's forced to go door to door to make money. Imbalance the pain arising from following this podcast: why can't more people embrace democratickness? Why does it seem that since 9/11 democratization is coming to a halt? Is democracy against human nature? Is theocracy normal for humans, anthropologically?
