Hi John 

When I first saw dogs being killed and eaten, 30 years ago in my family’s ancestral homeland in China, it shook me to my core. The things I’ve seen since have often left me feeling broken and lost. Everywhere I look, animals are being hurt. Could this world really be real?

But there’s a way out. And I explain how I got out of that haze -- overcoming demons that nearly ended my life -- in a new podcast with one of the nation’s top journalists, Vox’s Ezra Klein. 

Share the show to help your friends escape the Matrix

The conversation gets dark and personal. I share some things that most people don’t know about my background -- things that nearly ended my life. It was only through these painful experiences, though, that I found the path forward. 

Ezra calls it taking the green pill; when you recognize that animal suffering matters, everything changes. The good news is that as more people take the green pill -- and understand the lessons of science and history -- the changes we’ll see won’t leave us feeling trapped in the Matrix. They’ll set all of us free.
