What Prof. Diamond told Prof. Levitt about how he writes emails to experts in order to receive their advice is exactly the same line that he gave me many years ago in our email exchange. Diamond must really abide by this rule and is still practicing it and true sign of humility and willingness to learn, both are necessary to answer big questions.
I've only ever read his book, so I never realized that he speaks with such a heavy Bostonian accent! Almost sounds like Bernie Sanders, to my ears at least.
What a fascinating discussion. One of the better podcasts I have heard. Thank you.

We need Prof. Diamond's "cautious optimism" in these days of climate change.
Amazing talk
