This episode is dedicated to Terry Goodkind, who passed away on September 17th, 2020. Terry Goodkind was an author of the famous Sword of Truth series. I felt the world shift when I read these books, and I knew I was never going to be the same. The pen is truly mightier than the sword, and Terry Goodkind proved it. 

I can’t offer enough thanks to him for teaching me what Marxism was before I knew that it was called Marxism. Thank you for sneaking the concepts of individualism, heroism and nobility of the human spirit into a book that captured my imagination long enough for me to realize what it was I had in my hands.
