Glad to see you talking with Mary Harrington. I really appreciate her appreciation of the currently under-appreciated role of women/mothers. We should value the roles of men and women for the dignity they represent. I feel Confucius has the deepest understanding of role-ethics. Maybe you could interview a practitioner of Confucianism sometime, but be careful if you do because progressive academics are revising Confucian philosophy into something unrecognizable from its past.
I was thinking the other day the best fictional films are beautiful arenas for testing memes. Especially moral memes. With documentaries, the same thing, but instead of artificially constructing characters to maximize testability (through conflict), we find them in the real world.
I'd love to see an epilogue to The Reformers. Please also include any more clips of the trio describing their "research." I could use a laugh.

I think watching Carol Black's Schooling The World was a holy shift moment for me.
