I definitely share your concerns about Matt. As long as his doctor and him think his brief appearances on the pod on occasion are good for him, then I'm not gonna make a big deal of out it. But I do notice what you're talking about where he definitely has a heater in him and it sort of fizzles when it hits his tongue and it just makes me feel bad. Maybe that's my own mortality staring at me as well and it's a me thing more than anything else. As someone that has felt the struggle of raising a child myself, doing it while my brain was recovering just sounds impossibly difficult.
Like you, I felt like Matt expanded my horizons a bit. I've been a socialist for most of my adult life, but Matt's historical knowledge really widened my views on that. I've read basically every history book he's mentioned. So, I feel indebted to him in a similar way.
