| Welcome, special friend. | |
| As you know, you are my only special friend and I love you very, very much. | |
| But I can't pretend that I don't love you even more if you give me some money for my Patreon account. | |
| This enables me to be free, to be free of the man, to do what the hell I want, to make myself better for you. | |
| Anyway, as a special treat for donating to my Patreon at the special $5 a month level, You get early access to the week's podcast. | |
| Or possibly one of several podcasts in the week. | |
| And this week is no exception. | |
| I'm giving you not one but two podcasts this week. | |
| And the second is with your old friend Carbon Mike. | |
| How cool is that? | |
| If you want to listen to it now, just be a Patreon donor. | |
| If you want to listen to it not now, well, you'll have to just wait, won't you? | |
| That is all, my friends. | |
| Lots of love. | |
| Bye. | |
| Skepticism about, you know, this whole, is this nation-state thing really all that whatever? | |
| And at the worst, you know, people like, you know, the folks who I imagine run The Guardian, right? | |
| Who actively, they're like, yeah, we want to subvert this. | |
| We, you know, we're revolutionaries, right? | |
| And here's the thing. | |
| Think about, I don't know what the television, the TV situation is vastly different in the UK, but okay, in the US we have cable. | |
| We have, you know, cable television. | |
| And there's this thing that was very controversial that we're talking about doing. | |
| I'm unbundling, right? | |
| So the cable companies would sell you some large number of channels in a bundle. | |
| Meanwhile, if you subscribe to cable TV, you really only maybe want a handful of those channels, right? | |
| If you like movies and exclusive content, you might like HBO, you might like ESPN. But you're forced to buy all these other channels. |
