Key topics covered:

- The wild Dora Kent story.
- The organizational split in 1992 that affected growth for over a decade.
- Why Merkle’s success probability hasn’t changed since the 80s.
- Whether preserving your information pattern is enough or if you need “continuity of consciousness”.

And more.
