You mean like he's making this all some sort of alternative reality game? That's interesting... Wouldn't be surprising considering his background.
Yeah, something like that. I just have a feeling he's looking at this exactly as he would a game design, and he's just seeing how far he can push this. Part of what is fascinating about this guy, to me at least, is how he simultaneously seems very engaged in these ideas but doesn't come across as if he has any personal stake in whether your believe him or not. Not sure I'm articulating that clearly, but he just reads to me like a guy who's in love with the way he fits the pieces together more than in the actual implications of the notion he's pitching.
Anyway, this podcast was an absolute blast to listen to. Steve was terrific, as he always is, and Sargent made for a fascinating guest.
