Great interview. Joe is a gem
Unusually lucid and concise, thank you. This situating of our odd evolution between ice ages, the idea of necessary stability, I had not thought about. And interviewer, I like that 'personification of the watchful eye,' it ties in nicely with my 'panopticon' notion of woke's 'decentralised totalitarianism.' I have to recommend to all here as highly relevant Prof. Dennis Dutton's talk, on TED, An Evolutionary Theory of Beauty.
Always I have believed that nature overrides nature.
