Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio

Every story starts with rage and every story, one way or another, ends up there. Because rage demands a response, a resolution. Rage might not solve every problem, but it shares how it clarifies the problem. Rage brings things to a head. Why does Rage get so much bad press?

Why are people always telling you to keep calm? Carry on. All that bullshit. That's what I would like to know. From the beginning of my career, I've come at things differently. Rage first.

Ask questions later. That has been my philosophy. Rage to make them hear you, rage to keep them honest, rage, or else you're no different from them. Ben Franklin said it best there is no little enemy. If I've ever gotten a tattoo, I might have had that line across my knuckles.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.49.
