A really pleasant and thought-provoking interview / podcast, thank you for the link!

Maltz Bovy and Oppenheimer seem to enjoy talking to each other, the dialogue feels unforced, and as readers / listeners, we get meaningful glimpses into serious questions.

[ I'm not a podcast person myself and was glad to read the transcript. I wouldn't have been patient enough to listen to the audio! :-) ]

“Forgetting 🤔 is one of the great human gifts; we cannot reasonably carry with us all the #wounds of our past.

Especially since, alas, there is always more suffering around the bend.”

#WSJ, Author #MarkOppenheimer : “America Forgot the 1918 Flu. Will We Also Forget Covid?”

“Past generations’ reluctance to talk about #influenza - not to mention diseases like #polio…should not…be read as #stoicism or #avoidance, but as #adaptability.”
