Sivers is an OG. Definitely not a bot. I've looked at sivers.org/multiply at least once per year for the last 15 years.

100% relevant here, and I appreciate you sharing it again. I'm inspired to try this with my 9 year old.

I clicked the comments section hoping to see sivers response because I remember him mentioning it before. I’m glad I did.
