"Super interesting to hear Nathan talk about his (pre covid) homeschool experience. They way in which he talks about being in charge of his educational experience and his parents willingness to let him not confirm to “the regular playbook” is reminiscent of my 90s homeschool experience. I think there is merit to this unconventional approach. "

"I’ve been donating to Greenpeace, but after hearing this, I’m not so sure anymore.
It sounds like the charges against them are how they are ineffective and more about marketing than anything else, but I found the spread of misinformation to be especially insidious.
The last few years has shown us the consequences of misinformation and any nonprofit that knowingly spreads it is bad in my book."
