“doctrinal purity” and Liu describing the affect were brilliant takes. Her post Freudian analysis and speaking to anality in relation to “fragile eggs”—one of my favorites interview from the Joe Rogan of the left.

Fantastic interview. Just finished Liu's "Virtue Hoarders" over the long weekend, so the timing could not be more perfect. Looking forward to reading Jen's book next. This is without a doubt my favorite project. I wish I was in a position to support it more.

Minor nitpick— the New Shepard capsule by Blue Origin does a suborbital hop, which is far from an ‘interstellar voyage’. It doesn’t even reach Earth orbit, it just touches space and comes back down.

Adding this because scientifically minded people are usually space enthusiasts and ‘turbospergs’ who care about this sort of detail.

"I’m pretty sure a lot of people don’t really know what capitalism is" We all suffer from it, that's enough for me to know.
