Great interview. enjoyed listening to Theo, agreed with much of what he said. Although you learned types are freting and panacking about spelling or being on the web too much. Itsa finea! This is how we learn, you can’t be yourself in the adult constructed delusion they say life is, can you now! Oh no, supressed from birth and loaded with mental constraints habitually imposed through peer pressure or parental brainwashing, as they indoctronate they’re own young into the fantasy world of making money. Where else can you just say what you want, ignorant of what may expose our short-commings or not, we at least can see it, it was us, we were our-self for a brief moment allowed to express from the heart, lest the media and government ignor and ridducule us on the web openly, but secretly record every word to track the psychological make-up of us all globally!
You needed something you said in this interview, well its here and its you! Hows about that:)
