Episode 7: Dying for the Economy
Another, smaller, Enclave episode with personal musings on the recently adopted notion of "Dying for the Economy".
"A Healed Femur": I recalled a renown anthropologist, Margaret Mead, and her notion that the first signs of civilization was the healed femur and how that indicated that there was a society around the wounded person to bring them back to health.

Episode 6: When will the Billionaires Save Us Already?
This is a 'lite' episode which I'm tentatively calling Bite Sized Enclave where I tackle a single question that's been bugging me lately or responding to something that came up in an earlier episode. It's a little bit of train of thought, not edited down, just me and the microphone.
I wonder why we can't have wealthy eccentrics like Teddy Roosevelt and how much we need someone like him and the ultra-wealthy to save our planet.
