Thank you Lex for such an intellectual interview.  Your podcasts are the most mentally stimulating and educational resources that I intentionally access.  I regularly listen to other intellectual individuals and their podcasts, however, your mindset for questions, hypothesis, and ponderance of potential scenarios provides the utmost satisfaction for me in comparison to other podcasts.  I have never regretted dedicating my time and attention to your offerings.  I hope that some time in the future you will accept real time calls from your audience during interviews.   Quite often I would like to participate in the conversation and engage in an exchange of viewpoints, analysis, and contemplation.  Your time, effort, and commitment to hosting your podcast is whole heartedly appreciated.  Warm regards.
