hey guys! just a quick note: this is one of the "long" interviews from the archive. I'm experimenting with a system where I'll translate one half of each of these per month. They contain some of the best, richest content, but to translate them all under one patron-funding isn't really feasible (the usual shmuplations interviews is around 3000~4000 words, which the site can financially support, but many of these longer interviews run into the 10k-15k word range).
