Fantastic insights. I really enjoyed the podcast. I want to point out one questionable comment - Nathan states that publicly-owned forestland (US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, etc.) is being mismanaged relating to fire due to the value of timber. This is an incomplete assessment of the situation that may lead listeners to misunderstand what is happening. Public lands burn more than private lands because they are NOT being managed according to value. Densely-populated publicly-owned forests are often not thinned, leading to more flammable woody material accrual. This happens less frequently on private forestlands where timber is removed intermittently according to its value thus less volatile material builds up on a given acre of land. Nobody likes seeing a clear-cut stand of forest, but it's sometimes a useful part of the forest fire solution and can lead to a greater carbon uptake when new seedlings are planted shortly after harvest. It is disappointing how much people fail to recognize this based on their carnal reaction to a tree being cut down. The general public often cannot see the forest for the trees here. We want climate solutions but only if those solutions do not stir our feelings, just like people are more aghast by murders than car-related deaths despite car-related deaths being more catastrophic to human life.
Such an amazing Host ❤️
It is tiring to be the listener with avoiding hundred questions that mind pops up and just focussing on the Craft
I'm also acting the one right now despite the fact that i don't have to do the job of keeping my expressions intact 😊
Shane you are a gem man ❤
great conversation Shane
2 observations after 5 seconds of watching: damn you guys are sitting close to each other and why the headsets? Or you feeding in a third participant live or something 😅 thanks for sharing as always!
How is this man stil lheared?
Why not taken his opinion on apple than global warming ?
Lester?
This is the main "patent troll", if I'm not mistaken...
I love the podcast but this discussion on environment was not at the right level and could have been debunked as it can easily be fact checked:
- gas is as dirty or dirtier than coal
- an EV on the East Coast emits more than a gasoline car
- renewables are not really contributing to decarbonisation
Are you saying those statements in your comment are where he was wrong or that those are your fact checked answers . It's not clear from the way you wrote it.
Natural gas being as dirty as coal has been clarified again and again by scientists. And that's also what he says in the video . Are you disagreeing ?
Why do they both need to wear headphones? Don't their ears hurt?
Ah yes! The guy with the fake laser swatter machine! A real PoS!
Do you have a link? I just saw a similar comment on Reddit (by user periboulder ), but no link. He said this was discovered around 2012. I tried to find references to that, but couldn't. Obviously, lots of the info on Nathan is sanitized by his PR team, I am sure. The info on IV patent trolling is relatively available, but things like the details of how fake the machine was are not.
