Even among smart dissident types, the default explanation for the Taliban’s victory in Afghanistan is basically just “grit” and “sticktuitiveness” and “giving 110%” (plus maybe “asabiyyah”, which is a $10 dissident word for “teamwork”).

I love doing the EXIT Podcast, but I'm realizing it doesn't give you a clear picture of what EXIT looks like on the inside -- so this week we're doing something a little different.
