Thank you to all of you! Big thank you! The show was really good. Really good. I hope you will continue doing it on a regular basis.
At the beginning, when you were taking about twitting raving terrorists, an image of "Angry Birds" (popular children's game character) came into my mind, and I had a good laugh.

Thanks a lot for talking about pedocrimes. Pierre made an excellent point about ponerization, OSIT. First, ponerization takes place in the family where these very unfortunate and neglected kids come from, which then continues in the pedocriminal circles.
I really think we should ditch the word pedophile, since the word pedocriminals/crimes is so much better. Thanks also to Niall for introducing and talking about this disturbing topic.
I agree with Mariama on this. After reading about cases on this topic, especially Belgian "X" Files, I think the term "pedophiles" is extremely inappropriate (although commonly accepted) and offensive to the victims of such crimes. They are literarily pedotorturers, pedocriminals, in more general sense.
Thank you, Pierre, for bring in the facts about the French revolution in 1871 and the explanations about the mechanism behind the phenomenon of sink holes formation. It was simple and easy to understand.
I really appreciated Jason's point that no person is immune of the disease, i.e psychopathic influence, and the only solution is not get rid off psychopaths, but learning and discernment. Very valuable point, osit. While listening about how people during revolution resort to indiscriminate killings and the cycle repeats itself with new psychopaths rising to the top, it struck me that what Caesar was trying to show people – clemency as a possible way to change things? Although I now think that maybe, if he would be more careful and thought more about protecting himself things would turned out differently? What is the lesson in this? Bashar al-Assad and his wife, Asma al-Assad, with all their good intentions seem to be careless about their personal safety, osit. The C's said that true STO has no preoccupation for self (I'm sorry, I have no direct quote), but we're all live in the STS world, so the behavior regarding this matter needs to be adjusted, if I understand correctly?
Big thank you to Niall and Joe, Your shows is like a great lectures. I usually take notes, although, sometimes, I forget to write who said what.
I sensed some dismay that nobody called and some frustration from Perceval. I feel like I owe an explanation, because I really value and appreciate what all of you do. I personally have a hard time following what's being said in real time, sometimes. My one and only attempt to do it in real time was the second show on the topic of Caesar and I missed some parts. Certainly will read the transcripts. I actually decided to transcribe and almost did the second transcription ( I'll finish it in 1 or 2 days :)) of two shows to get used to your speech. My main reason was to help hearing-impaired people, and in a certain sense, I'm one too, being non-native English speaker and listener myself :) Hopefully, it will get much easier soon.
Once again, thank you for your work!
