Description
Noah Huisman is a writer and philosopher. In this conversation, he interviewed me. But because I got such joy from recording it, I figured I'd share it here. We talked about the price to pay to be great, what I would do if I was restarting online, what it means to deny the possibility of God, gaps of knowledge, and the importance of choosing the right rep range.
