We're Being Led By Deranged, Evil Men Who Want to Strip Mine the Earth and Colonize Mars

from Walter Rhein Podcast · host Walter Rhein, Shane Yirak, and Arturo Dominguez

Last Friday I sat down with the guys and we tried to work through what actually might be at the heart of all the plots we currently face. I think one of the big problems is that we’re assuming our opponents are playing 3D chess when really they’re playing tic-tac-toe.We overthink ourselves.We don’t have to do anything fancy, all we have to do is oppose them.I hope this conversation gives you a bit of a break and makes you feel better!Thank you Melissa Corrigan, she/her, Noble Blend, Samantha Paige (she/they), Christina Gurchinoff, Eric Lullove, and many others for tuning into my live video with Arturo Dominguez and Shane Yirak!
