- Incurious, too. Unfortunately not everything you’re uncomfortable with is a bot. Which is something that wouldn’t be hard for you to verify. I think we’re done with this exercise. Clearly you have nothing to say for yourself
- Don't be a dick for no reason on social media!
- Your feelings about the question are irrelevant to the answer. They add context though: Unseriousness. Penchant for using emotions as excuses.

- I was interviewed for International Policy Digest recently--you can check it out here: intpolicydigest.org/filmmaker-ja...
- Fascinating. Your own story would make quite a script. "You cannot feed people with propaganda." Let's hope Trump's love affair with chaos is his undoing.
- Thank you! If you don’t mind sharing this piece or any other about my pitch, the whole idea of that interview is to get the word out. My team worked hard on it for four years
