to call Charlie Kirk "productive and courageous" is like calling Hitler a man who knew how to get stuff done.
as a big fan of pivot and still processing, I do just want to say that this episode was agonizing to listen to. it was niche and at times borderline pretentious but most of all irrelevant to anyone other than the two people talking.

icant believe how overbearing this guest is. She constantly talks over Kara and asserts her POV as unmitigated truth. Ironic, considering her approach focuses on listening. Sorry Kara - let her :)
Something is wrong with the file is the message I get when trying to play it.

Pro Israel? Scott, the IDF are the worlds biggest terrorist organisation...unless IDF bullets can only kill pre school terrorists. Israel as founded by terrorists who knew they were terrorists and wondered if the world would forgive them. Now the world worships at Israeli feet as the world's only true martyrs who can only kill in self defence, instead of the murderous damaged infants that they are.

Great podcast. https://buy-lipozem.com/
this podcast got really bad. Kara just insults tech leaders without any specifics. Scott has the occasional smart comment, but usually just says the same things over and over with different words. I'm bored of it
much need for https://www.malgotechnologies.com/polymarket-clone-script
