While I had hoped that the first Podcast of the week would be about a spiritual subject this interview was really interesting and has been discussed and meme'd everywhere. While Zuckerberg, who infamously regarded as a half-man half-robot and the one who sold everyones private data to the highest bidder, does have a great in-depth discussion on the tech industry in the US and how the goverment has impacted it in the last decade.
