Xicha Says:
With regard to Video 2: Corbett Report- How to Outgrow the Government with Andrew G. Marshall:
Towards the end of this program, there was an excellent discussion of individualism, collectivism, etc. Corbett, Marshall, and a caller named Lark were defining and reconciling some of the perceived differences in language and ideas regarding these philosophies. I thought it was very helpful.
Xicha Says:
Looking forward to Corbett’s interview with Draitser as well. Would be nice to have a round-table with all of them.
Where’d you get all these smart people, Sibel?
