Clay Jenkinson, I believe you are a gift to NPR and the country.

Been listening to your library of podcasts for the last several months. You should be one of the most famous people in America. Brilliant mind.

But don’t agree with your current politics

I understand Professor Watts probably is trying to offer us hope, but I'm afraid this may be a case where a historian's "long view"ism isn't particularly helpful. "It will all settle itself out after a few civil wars and a few hundred years of misery" might be a factually plausible outcome for America's decline and hopeful rebirth, but it's also useless to us who have to live through that. To borrow a comparison you two brought up, we need people with a Roman approach ("just actually do it") rather than a Greek one ("let's theorize about it") when it comes to reforming America.
