I'd like to hear more front porch discussions like this from them.

Mike could read upon Jacques Ellul or something like that, take typed out notes and discuss it out there.

And Rich has that anarchist streak!

One thing I've done with Gemini is give it perma prompts to always start with Stanford EP, Wikipedia, IEP, Britannica etc... Then to academia. edu, research gate, JSTOR... Then to stackexchange sites, reddit, substack, blogs etc. Ayn Rand institute, RW libertarian sites, quora are all never go
New: Elon Musk appears to have just launched "Grokipedia," billed as a more right-leaning rival to Wikipedia: grokipedia.com

Story to come. If you try it out, I'd be interested to hear what you find.
