I love when Kim was talking about culture change throughout time. She said how “our parents gave us the belt..... their teachers gave them the paddle”.... etc. Also in regards to the debate about Columbus Day and how we should get rid of it..... etc. I think this is a great example of when JFM says “everything is ephemeral on a long enough timeline.” All these historical statements that have been in place for a long time such as Columbus Day and the statues, are now being questioned because naturally time will change things. And now I feel is when certain things are changing and becoming ephemeral. The time line is now long enough. There’s a natural process of letting go that involves time. Without judgement of what’s right or wrong, things simply change. Nothing is forever.

Listening to this podcast now, after what's been happening to statues in America and Europe is, quite fascinating.
