<2022-09-07T02:54:47.000Z> Bro-Drillard: First of all it's great to have you back podcasting, I really enjoyed those early 3rd Rails with you. A quick note re the discussion of hope/optimism in the latest episode.I grew up in the Eastern Block when that was still a thing. We all thought it's never going to change and we'll have to live our lives making the best of it as we can. This is not too different how many in the West feel today. Then suddenly the Eastern Block, and shortly after the Soviet Union has collapsed, and something different took its place. What I'm trying to say is that it may look now that nothing will change in the west, but quite unexpectedly thing just might change radically. (a week when decades happen) At least this is what I'm telling myself when I feel despondent about how things are right now.
