“This is a “radically” beautiful production my friend, a joy to watch in every respect. Bringing cool people together like this to discuss topics that matter is a great model for the Substack platform as well as an enjoyable way to learn. Penn just lost a great professor, but for those of us students at the University of Hard Knocks, Penn’s loss is our gain.”
