Will China Genetically Engineer Super Babies?
I have been planning to do more interviews on China Uncensored—with experts, officials, and other people who have reasonably intelligent things to say.
This interview with Jamie Metzl ran really long. It was about 25 minutes, and in cutting it down, it was like: "Should I keep the funny parts, or the content-rich parts?" Obviously, this interview, as edited, was not funny. For example, I cut out the part where we talked about him meeting Wen Jiabao and the Dalai Lama (separately).
What do you think? Let's say I could choose only one: Funny vs. Depth of Content. What's your preference?

A scientist who calls Star Wars Science Fiction? Oh brother...
sorry for the double posting. I'm not sure what's going on there.
Giving people like that so much power is what makes this issue truly important. Your guest should have elaborated on that.

The reason why this issue is important, vis a' vi China, is because China is a severe communist dictatorship, with a highly developed sense of grievance toward the rest of the world.

This guy really wasn't that helpful.

Your usual posts strike a good balance. If you're interviewing so called 'experts' however, I'd suggest leaning towards depth of content. All the best.
Well that depends, do you want journalistic integrity or an army of mindless Youtube followers?
I really prefer an emphasis on depth of content. Your interview with Anastasia Lin was kind of painful to watch, to me. This was a lot better.
For the sake of 'snackable content', go with Funny on YouTube. Whichever path you choose, I think it would be a great idea to post a full interview as either an unlisted side you can link to in the description, or as a patron "Behind-the-scenes" thing, for the more curious.
