"My producer over at Pivot keeps editing some of my more profane or saltier, edgier comments, and it really pisses me off," he says. "I'm a vulgar and profane person and it's not an act ... I consider myself a progressive on almost every social value... The left is spending so much time trying to find virtue points by calling out each other that it makes a cartoon of the important work we need to get done."
Happy President's Day! Pivot will return on Friday. Today, an episode from our other favorite podcast: The Prof G Pod.
Derek Thompson, a staff writer at The Atlantic and host of the Plain English podcast, joins Scott to discuss why he believes America is at a standstill when it comes to progress, including the lack of trust in institutions and a need for an abundance agenda. Follow Derek on Twitter, @DKThomp.
Scott opens by discussing potential business opportunities for WhatsApp. He then shares his thoughts on Buzzfeed’s decision to use OpenAi to create content.
