@aaronrosspowell.com hi, I wanted to ask you why philosopher Jason Brennan has not (to my knowledge) been invited or interviewed in Reimagining Liberty (yet at least) and whether he will be in the near future. I have listened to a bunch of episodes (although not all). And it surprised me a little.

Here’s last night’s story about police chases, why the risks involved massively outweigh the benefits, and why people should be allowed to say “shit” on the news. We, as a nation, are well beyond the word “shit” destroying anyone’s innocence. Just…look around. youtu.be/wVFXUkFx5Y8

Proportional representation is popular!
48% yes, 19% no, 32% don't know for proportional representation. That's with very little public campaign for PR so far.
Tracks similar results we found a couple of years ago polling various reforms in Wyoming. It's not some wonky thing only nerds get. The concept is intuitive and naturally popular.

Wow! That's a lot higher support level than I expected. And that 32%"don't know" means there's a high ceiling

@aaronrosspowell.com, I'd like to ask u whether u think that the dispatch is a high quality outlet that is consistent in critiquing the Trump in administration in order to preserve liberal democracy and the rule of law from a more traditional right-of-center or old-fashion conservative perspective

Ok now I can’t sleep
Just been told my dog was hit by a van
He’s alive luckily but has suffered some pretty serious breaks requiring surgery… and I’m just hoping there are no complications due to his age
I’m gonna go cry a bit now
