I also loved the "poor me" backstage video. I get the victimy role they cast you in for the backstage video and the anti-Renaissance history comments above are connected. As with most of us intorverts lerning to be extraverts, it helps to break out of being so backward looking, break thru to WHAT IT MEANS TODAY. This is why I think "making money open source" is a better focus than "how corporations took over life". The history lesson is backward looking. The first is forward looking. I am growing more and more attached to you, Douglas. Keep up the wonderful work! Wow, I also thought you made the most of it, Douglas. I also loved the “poor me” backstage video.

But, how do we fix it? Where's the remedy in 30 seconds? Get that heard and you'll get 30 min on Charlie Rose. Remarkably clear and sobering analysis! But, how do we fix it?

He seemed to be very familiar with the material and even helped move it along so that the major points were touched on. Great job both of you! Based on the above comments Colbert was nice, non?

I really enjoyed it, and I hope you had a good time with it. I've had a good time sending the link around this morning. Besides being fun to watch, it's been a great way to start conversations with friends about something so fundamentally important (life). Thank you very much! I thought you did a great job last night.

A while back, Amy Goodman went on Colbert, and her appearance was used by researchers who studied people's propensity to forget or dis-acknowledge that he is a satire on conservatism. The report, 'The Irony of Satire', found that conservatives are most likely to think he's actually one of them.
