This is just appaling to read. No wonder the US education is so fucked.

Just to further push the point, it took me 40 minutes to read 3 transcripts. Each transcription is of a roughly hour long podcast episode. So 3 hours down to 40 minutes and English is my second language. It stresses me that people can't recognize that reading is the closest thing humans have to a superpower.
