Wow, Jimmy seems intent on making this more of a monologue and less of an interview. You should feel free to be more aggressive in cutting off long-winded guests.

Very interesting interview, I thought – a good balance between day-to-day issues and bigger-picture stuff. By the way, if anyone’s curious, here’s the essay Wales mentioned, Friedrich Hayek’s “The Use of Knowledge in Society”, about the “problem of the utilization of knowledge which is not given to anyone in its totality.”

Very interesting podcast, this is the first one I’ve listened to, I’m going back through them now. You were talking about interviewing big FA contributors, I definitely agree with interviewing Hink, maybe other content areas as well?
