#1 It would have been nice if they let him talk for longer. The damn introduction was 30% of it.

#2 I must have missed the point to this, unless it was to display yet again how utterly sickening lefty green feminists can be. Wood chips plus fungi make soil. What an amazing deduction! Do you think anyone has alerted our Nobel-winning ex-VP to this previously unknown phenomenon?

Paul's bio at wikipedia

The intro ate all the time... the version they are flogging cost $15 from commie tv...
That said he actually has some very interesting ideas... (video ad didn't show it.)
Nobody but him is really using fungi.. It maybe because it started out trying to grow better magic mushrooms to keep him and his customers high...
Likely scared others out of the field.

One of his little fungi could save the bee...
Another does a job on queen insects that attack homes (like carpenter ants) A one time $1 fix.

Another predigests cellulose to complex sugars that existing yeasts can turn into booze for our cars.. This would jump start the cellulosic-ethanol process. He did a working demo in one day for that process.

Then he gets into dreamy stuff. That's likely when his fungi kick in to expand his mind....
One was comparing fungi to brain networks...

#4 his website where he once sold "spore prints" for magic mushrooms. It must have been a magnet for the DEA.
