The script, now available on Substack.

This is the script for my most recent YouTube video. I don’t always script out my content, but when I do I’ll make those scripts available here.

You’ll notice some changes between the script and the video. Things tend to move around, get deleted, get improvised, etc. as I record and then edit.
