Regarding the discussion around the one hour mark about how to decide what people are "at home" in what places around the world...it's amazing watching progressives reinvent Nazi "Blut und Boden" ideology.
Yassine, if you ever want to discuss Judaism with an insider, I'm happy to help enlighten you. I grew up ultra Orthodox and left it at around the age of 30, but still have deep roots in the community.
Another comment, re: whether people actually want to have their beliefs/ideas challenged: of course not. Any time I've tried engaging with friends on social media when I see them posting political memes based on incredibly flawed rhetoric and I call them on that (even if I fall all over myself making it clear that I'm not arguing against their basic premise, I'm just asking them to *make a better argument*), they act as if I showed up to their birthday party and took a dump on the cake.
I was in Munich, buying a kebab one night, and the guy asked for my name, so I reply "Max", (rhyming with "Jacks"), and he corrected me, apparently our names rhyme with "Jocks".

I would also love this conversation to take place. Sounds like a great listen.

This is getting weird, Alex is my brother's name
32:30: "People gotta edge" - Are we still doing phrasing?
Sorry, I'll try to have a more insightful comment by the end.
I knew the moment I said it. 😭
