Thank you for sharing this. For those who haven't read and/or watched DFW in any capacity, you really should. His thoughts on modern western society are just so fascinating and multi-faceted. His perspective is one of great depression, yet his points are eye-opening and remarkable.
One of my favorite interviews of his is this one [1]. You can tell just how deeply he thinks about each question.

- mlthoughts2018 8y agoThe Beth Newell & Sarah Pappalardo episode of Hollywood Handbook was a big let down, which was so disappointing given the quality on Reductress. I am so puzzled that the intersection of People Who Nail David Foster Wallace Satire and People Who Don’t Get It As Hollywood Handbook Guests is non-empty.
