Edit: I'm really glad. We need his voice now more than ever, and he deserves a comfortable life regardless of his ability to entertain us

Yay! It must be uniquely terrifying to have such a major health scare two days before your child is born.

It still isn't enough to make me listen to chapo but I offer my congratulations to the only good chapo on continuing to be alive

So is this stage of recovery before or after he asks for a mirror and starts laughing maniacally?

I've not listened to the podcast in years but I am glad that Matt's doing well. He's a really smart guy and his thoughts have helped me develop a lot

His last 2 cushvlogs were the best distilled articulation of his ideas. Matt was instrumental in making me a Marxist and even though I learned more in my book club in 2 weeks than in 2 years of his blog, I would never have joined that book club if it wasn't for him.

I don't listen much anymore, he had a long period where he was exploring metaphysics that I didn't get much from, but now it seems he got what he needed from that line of inquiry, and uses it to strengthen his method rather than just ramble on for 45 minutes about gnosticism and the demiurge.

His ideas on the hedonic treadmill are extremely good and useful, though spending too much time in his headspace makes me think like a cynical podcaster, which as someone who does most of their organizing IRL, has caused some real analytical blindspots. It's usually just a slightly darker turn in my analysis, but its enough to be noticeable and avoided.

Cushvlog is one of my favorite treats. That being said, I have been deeply moved and drastically changed by the words and thoughts of that man, and I'm glad he's still with us as he seems to be at an all time high point in his life, and I have hope for him and his family.
