A Weekly Favorite

I look forward to this podcast every week. It is indeed a _salon__: three people getting together and bouncing their thoughts off of each other on things like the nature of virtual communities, the “attention economy” of social media, the emergence of the network state, the economy, fiat currency and cryptocurrency, politics, the future, how systems prosper or collapse, sustainability of all manner of stuff, and how guinea fowl resemble urban gangs of angry, disenfranchised youth. The tone is pretty mellow—the topics are sometimes freighted with a sense of urgency, but it never devolves into the apocalyptic. Mark and Jesse are Canadians, and Charles, an American, is so good-natured and reserved that he _should_ be a Canadian. Like any genuine and unrehearsed conversation, these guys ramble a bit—but not excessively, and anyway that is part of the charm of the podcast that I enjoy. If you’re looking for anger and fireworks, forget it—the worst you’ll get here is good-natured exasperation. Thoughtful and thought-provoking, with lots of historical and literary references which are listed in the show notes on YouTube. They occasionally have guests.

Insightful Wrongthink

Thought provoking discussion.

Sometimes pedantic, Sometimes repetitive and circular, but always thought-provoking.

The conversation flow is improving but still undirected at times.

A good investment of your time as you create your own paradigm in a new age.

Thought provoking

Love Mark’s articles on Guerilla Capitalism. Glad I found ALL OF THIS!
