70: Tao Lin

NYC / HAWAII — Tao Lin is the author of Leave Society (2021), Trip (2018), Taipei (2013), and other books. For this episode, I read The Chalice and the Blade (1987), a nonfiction book by Riane Eisler that Tao references in Leave Society. We talk about autism, leaky gut, organ meats, liver king, lashing out on friends, and whether partnership societies had MMA.
