Hang on let me see hear what I have in my pocket yes here's a billion I think we'll at least be able to have a nice breakfast. I don't even want to mention that man. What a disappointment. It has been a rough ride for anyone with a smidgen of empathy.

I have a story that happened last week that could totally one up the ridiculous situation you are facing yourself but I can tell it for fear I will have a trigger and more trauma than needed ever in a lifetime. I hope you're coping okay I wasn't yesterday better today.

What you're describing is in fact the digital divide! It's an accessibility issue as well as an economic one. There is no question that there is real need that we are not meeting and haven't for a very long time. If not for the love of community many I for would not have survived

Agreed! I am currently writing my 36 mass-market technology book on technology and the subject is accessibility. I had my first travel since 2016 at the beginning of this month to present an opening Keynote for austin-based nonprofit @knowbility we have so so much work to do

Oh I think social media has almost everything to do with adding to the problem but I still don't see it is for highest 50% I do understand the idea of a unification over better ideals and hopes but we'd need to define those better I think then we have in the past decade or more

Oh I am so with you. Web accessibility has been apart of my career for a long time and one of the things we see is even the World Wide Web has become so inaccessible we don't have that way in and it was invented to be meant for equal access and to bridge the digital divide! SMH!

Hi there I'm not sure if that was directed at me but no I don't think I could say 50% and I definitely don't see life in binary despite being a computer scientist. I do remain a support to my friends and community and will do self till the end of our days what do you think?

Probability suggests you're correct. I did have a thought recently about this however and that is as long as we are able to sustain life on this planet (or any other sorry podcast related joke) I choose to do the best I can to give back to this world for all the days we have left

I love your optimism Lex but I don't think we are all in this together in my lifetime has the most fragmented this nation has ever been in my experience. If all lives mattered then we would take care of all lives.

Good catch my dear new editor! I should clarify I meant affordable and available mental health care of which in Arizona there is exactly none for Medicare patients and medical Physicians are even worse. It's an important clarification. And it's the kind of guns we have more of.

As a child of the sixties civil rights in my blood where are social services and Welfare, appropriate policing and social response. Economic Aid, healthcare, respect for nature, proper nutrition preventative medicine and the ridiculous increase of accidents and drug deaths?

Why are we not having discussions about Healthcare lack of social services better education parental support discussions on ageism racism and all the ism's you want this is a Multicultural Society and we need to get over our bulshit if we want our children to have any future.

Yes we keep pressure for better gun control and reform but with so much violence like school shootings that there is resistance to any thinking and inquiry to other social factors is very dangerous. war is everywhere but the USA is and has been facing this horror for decades

In simple terms the declarative is what we want to do. Imperative is how we are going to do it Functional uses math and logic to get results. These are considered programmatic paradigms. Others exist. Look at the languages in question and the context in which they are used. 😊

I'm really always delighted to see your work Lex. I do have to say I admire all of your guests controversial or otherwise and Jay I feel you would be an excellent person to begin adding research the FDA more big Pharma more neuroscience preventive health and Behavioral Medicine.

It's so very. at least her greatest fear as I imagined so many parents are feeling especially today would have been to have lost me 2 bone marrow aplasia before she passed. So grateful she was able to live her life without losing a child. ❤️
Are you an only child may I ask Clint I wonder about that because my brothers and I have talked about it in detail and agreed that that was the choice we were all going to make not to my mother's pleasure as one might imagine. But it ends with us and so it is going to be.
