S2E11: Copernican
Writer, Substacker, and friend of the pod Copernican joins us at The Black Ibis Social Club this week. The three of us chat about current political trends, Tesla insanity, starting communities, natalism, and science fiction. I also tell the story of my recent insane battle with the SC DMV.
