Bitcoin Health Hang #1 w/ 'NobodyCaribou'
October 10, 2023 12:42 - 1 hour - 97 MBHealth has been central to my life for more than 20 years, so it's been fascinating (and surprising) to observe the impact which learning about and adopting bitcoin seems to be having on how people approach their diet, fitness, and many other aspects of well-being. What is inspiring this? Is it a 'lower time preference'? More hope and optimism about the future? The effects of encountering some kind of profound truth? To delve into these questions, Nick, a bitcoiner and physical therapist i...
Being A Doctor During 'The Hysteria' & The Future Of Medicine w/ Remnant MD
September 27, 2023 14:47 - 2 hours - 110 MBThe future of the bitcoin economy will not only be people transacting in bitcoin, but people of all backgrounds, educations, and experiences re-interpreting their professions (and much else), through a 'bitcoin lens'. In keeping with the 'quest for truth' which bitcoin seems to inspire, many people who have gone down the 'bitcoin rabbit hole' have begun questioning the standard dogma as it relates to health, fitness, nutrition, medicine, and have been seeking (and finding) more truthful inf...
Critiquing Jordan Peterson's Views On Anonymity Online
September 12, 2023 11:13 - 1 hour - 105 MBOver the last year or so, Jordan Peterson has been very critical of the quality of online discourse, attributing much of the problem to anonymous/pseudonymous accounts. He refers to such accounts as 'troll demons' or 'dark tetrad types', and has expressed his desire to see them separated from 'verified' users. While his complaints are not unwarranted, I feel that his proposed solutions are overly simplistic, and fail to appreciate the role of anonymous expression, and the dangers/downsides...

Is China About To Crash? Bitcoiners Discuss China Macro
September 04, 2023 17:02 - 1 hour - 108 MBThe Economic Situation in China has recently been attracting more attention, as a result of several economic indicators showing worrying signs. Despite it's robust growth over several decades, there have long been worries about how much has been fuelled by unsustainable amounts of debt, money printing, and the resultant over-production / malinvestment, particularly in the all-important real-estate sector. That said, many opportunities have been missed, and many macro commentators embarrass...
The Ramaswamy Candidacy w/ Jordan Schachtel & Vijay Boyapati
August 31, 2023 14:16 - 2 hours - 112 MBVivek Ramaswamy burst onto the American political scene in early 2023, after announcing his presidential campaign (on the Republican side). I was immediately struck by his thoughtfulness and eloquence, but even more so by his 'radical' policy positions (which I largely support), and the detail with which he is explaining how he will execute them. Vivek appears to me to be properly diagnosing many of the issues confronting the US (and the world more broadly today), and seems to have a uniqu...
Bitcoin Mining on the Homestead w/ Rev.Hodl

He has more recently integrated bitcoin mining into his operation, in various unique and innovative ways, so I invited him back on to share the details of how he is mi...
