Northern Italy

Um, the-- And not just, uh, Sombart.

You know, E. Michael Jones' Barren Metal, which is a history of usury, uh, starting from North Italy and then going right up to the, to the present day.

One of the best books.

He's one of my favorite authors.

The Jews seemed to be very industrious.

And at the time, you know, economics as a science didn't exist.

The same thing for North Italy, no matter how sophisticated their banks were.

Um, uh, they didn't realize what usury, um, amounted to.

I feel like I enjoyed Horizon Forbidden West more than some others because it was set where I spent a lot of my life.

Exploring Yosemite, San Francisco, and Las Vegas as Aloy was a lot of fun for me, but visiting Northern Italy after playing the Ezio Assassin's Creed games was also pretty incredible.

Are there games you appreciated more because they had elements that were personal to you Or maybe some you knew missed the mark because of your personal experience.

Thanks for all you do.

I was then like, we'll find you a place.

We'll go to, they've had, there are great hospitals in Northern Italy and here and here.

And then Johnny was like, don't frighten Cocky with too many options, which I get.

And I heard about the Royal Marsden.

And, you know, I think that if you're a farmer in Tuscany at the turn of the century, among other things, you're growing grapes and olives and you're making wine and olive oil and, you know, all the other things.

So I would assume that this, this obligation, this legacy goes back as many generations as we could find from, you know, Northern Italy.

As someone who's been out there in the vineyards, I mean, their whole life, but especially the past few years, as you really take the helm of this and take control of all of it, how have you seen climate change impact? Not just the grape growing, but this natural world in Sonoma that you're so plugged

into.

So maybe you don't have ankylosing spondylitis yet.

yet for example okay but then we get some papers coming out of india northern italy and this is called the unclassifiable seronegative spondyloarthropathies actually hla b27 related unclassified seronegative spondyloarthropathies and annals of rheumatic diseases It was repeatedly observed that some patients did not fit well into any of these well-defined bonded arthritis categories.

And they talked about this broadly, but specifically named ankylosing spondylitis.

But here's a quote.

who have what sounds like the same symptoms as their fathers, but their radiographs are quote unquote, essentially normal.

So what do you call this group? So we have symptoms, family history, but no objective changes.

So this group in Northern Italy examined 133 patients with features of spondyloarthritis.

They were able to classify most of them, but 25 patients, 22 males and three females were unclassifiable, including many with inflammatory back disease.
