Time To Say Goodbye - Rural Rage Debunked and the other side of the fascism debate w Danny Bessner
Hello!
Today, we have a packed show with our guest Danny Bessner of the American Prestige podcast. Danny argued the other side of the fascism debate and expressed why he and others believe the word is not appropriate to describe what’s happened to the American right.
And Danny stuck around while we discussed Tyler’s debunking of the book “White Rural Rage” and why the type of liberal elite discourse we have right now might eventually be politically catastrophic (while also just being gross.)
As always, if you would like to support the show, please help us out with a $5 a month substack subscription.
Thank you!

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Could Illinois Be The Next ‘Right-To-Die’ State?
Illinois could soon join 10 states in the nation which allow what advocates call “medical aid in dying.” A bill in Springfield would give terminally ill people with six months or less to live the option to end their lives by self-administering a drug provided by a physician. Illinois lawmakers are considering the future of this legislation during the spring session, so Reset spoke with the bill’s co-sponsor Sen. Linda Holmes (D-Aurora) to learn more about it. Plus, hears from opponents like Access Living’s Amber Smock and supporters like ACLU of Illinois’ Khadine Bennett.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - UNCHAINED: Polygon’s AggLayer Wants to Be a Hub for Ethereum Layer 2s. Can It Succeed?
Polygon’s Agglayer aims to address the monolithic vs. modular blockchain debate with a decentralized protocol that allows chains to interact with one another.
Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Fountain, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Pandora, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.
Polygon Labs CEO Marc Boiron and co-founder Brendan Farmer discussed everything about the AggLayer, a decentralized protocol built by Polygon that enables fast, secure cross-chain interactions and allows different chains to use the same native bridge. This allows users to seamlessly move assets across chains in the AggLayer ecosystem.
The AggLayer aims to unify blockspace so that it feels like a single chain, improving user experience. Boiron and Farmer also discussed the potential for Layer 2 solutions to scale Ethereum, the benefits of zero-knowledge technology, and the future of Polygon's proof-of-stake chain.

Show highlights:
- Background of Brendan and Marc and how they joined Polygon
- A brief description of what Polygon is overall
- What the AggLayer is and how it aims to enable the best of monolithic and modular blockchains
- How Brendan differentiates the AggLayer from its competitors, such as Optimism's Superchain or Cosmos and why he believes that zk-technology is such a game changer
- How the interoperability experience gets better in such a system, according to Marc and Brendan, and what will become possible that's not now
- Which chains can use the AggLayer and how it works to improve security across chains
- The tradeoffs between the various types of zkEVM provers
- How projects should decide their architecture and when it would make sense to tap the AggLayer
- Why projects should build on the AggLayer, including layer 1s, according to Marc
- How Layer 1s can still join the AggLayer and retain their own consensus and sovereignty
- Why Polygon believes that zk-technology is the future of blockchain architecture
- Why the Polgyon zkEVM suffered an outage on March 30
- Whether Layer 3s are needed to scale the Ethereum ecosystem
- Why Brendan believes that EigenLayer is not a good fit for rollups to use
- The transition of the Polygon PoS chain to become an Ethereum L2 using the AggLayer
- When EIP-4844/Dencun will go live on Polygon
