    I think this really shows how much dead weight Virgil really was. Every time he starts talking the interview kind of grinds to a halt, and he never really advances a position as forcefully as Matt even once

      Eh, the part about "diverse interests" and getting the hosts to try defending enviromental pollution because "b-but planned economies bad!" was pretty good. And Virgil was clearly fucking with them, like just talking with his mouth full. Nobody can really match Matt's righteous anger :matt-jokerfied:

      I mean, that wasn't really his role in the crew. Virgil brought the wonk, Matt brings the rage, Will brings dad energy, Felix brings the off-topic, and Amber brought the bad takes.

      However in groups it is often important to have different people so that points can be formed. Thinking with talking works often better than thinking without talking. Sure you can write stuff, but it will be a very different kind of thinking.

      So I am not sure what role in output Virgil did play if you get my drift.

      Unfair. He was supposedly very hung over and sleepy and clearly also busy eating during the interview. He was better on the show
