A microphone is not that expensive… bad production value does not honour the speaker

[@throughsilence4]

Almost lost me with Gangnam style

[@littlecartoony2k]

I love how it starts with Gangnam style 😂😂

[@chaufamarxista5400]

Amazing intro :)

Smart man (apart from his comments about the welfare state which is quite obviously failing British people - Universal Credit is £393 a month now)

is the intro song chosen in order to set the tone of the talk? because in a way the world has been all topsy-turvy in the recent years, everything is going kind of "gangnam-style" ;-)

I like your interpretation

[@EnricoZenitani]

what the hell does that mean

[@MiroPribanic]

@@EnricoZenitani try again, maybe a little harder, at least 8 people understood what I meant ;-)

[@EnricoZenitani]

@@MiroPribanic I'm literally Korean and I have no idea what your comment means.

[@OkayDoood]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@theredhorse]

I love his books, thank you from Russia (Moscow)

[@craigstevenson3445]

Love Chang, but his Chips and discussion of Bond ownership is completely wrong, and as others of his conclusions

Sound is horrible, get audio done right - most important

[@danelba]

Amazing talk, thank you

[@ParanoidBishop]

Interesting mentions Ukraine, but seems to have missed the genocide in Palestine.

[@jansamohyl7983]

While I am very unhappy about the genocide in Palestine, I don't think it's intentional. It's just not in his wheelhouse. In a sense, the Israeli occupation is a problem of the past, it's just a form of "traditional" colonialism. I don't think there is much to discuss about it from the economic perspective or from a perspective of a recent change.

[@Bailiol]

Really silly comment.

[@canismajoris6733]

1:1.5 is not genocide
