    The Job Market For 2026 | Dawn Of The Autonomous Robots

    Will Juan's insanely ambitious predictions come true (likely) and why is he so sure (backed by evidence)? In Episode #476 of Musings, Juan and I discuss: the rapid advancements in AI (drawing from his past experiences in AI sales and chatbot implementations), the slow progress of autonomous Haul Trucks I saw in the mining industry, .Juan's prediction that unemployment rates will more than double by the end of 2026, robotic process automation (RPA) and its potential to replace repetitive tasks traditionally done by humans, the types of drones, vehicles & machines we are likely to start noticing in every day life and why the whole 'job' narrative is stupid anyway. Huge thanks to Cole for the support this week, it is very much appreciated!

    Let's Gamble In A Cult | Financial Delusions & When To Admit You're Wrong

    Why is investing in Game Stop going to cause the collapse of the financial system? In episode #475 of Mere Mortals 'Musings', Juan and I discuss: Tom Bilyeu's perspective that all financial actions are a form of gambling, James Jani's videos on GameStop and Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY), how the irrational belief of "mother of all short squeezes" (MOASS) will lead to the financial system's collapse, our past financial delusions in stocks/properties/NFT's, the aftermath of bubbles bursting and Juan's current delusion of the impact of AI by 2026 (my opinion - correct). Huge thanks to Lyceum and all the other sat streamers out there. Your support means the world to us!

    They're Coming For Your Money!! | Scams, Scammers & Schemes

    They're always around so how do you pick them out? In episode #474 of Mere Mortals 'Musings', Juan and I discuss: the definition of trickery for accruing value, personal anecdotes of being scammed, learnings from Edward Chancellor's book 'Devil Take The Hindmost', recognising red flags such as offers that seem too good to be true, whether certain societal structures like the education system or the 9-to-5 work model could be seen as scams and whether scams that lead to positive outcomes are actually scams.

    Monthly Goals | February 2025

    It's time for our monthly check in where we review our goals from last month and see what's coming up for the next. Do you set yourself monthly goals and if so, how many do you set? Juan and I on the first week of every month go over our progress from the previous month and where we are heading for the next. Emphasis as always is on the shortcomings; what we didn't achieve in the previous monthly goals and how we will fix that for the month that comes. We hope you get some value from this series, showcasing our own methodology. What do you do differently and why?

  6. Financial Bubbles & The Crypto/AI Industry | Historical Signals That Will Repeat

    Financial Bubbles & The Crypto/AI Industry | Historical Signals That Will Repeat

    This is a solo episode heavily influenced by the book 'Devil Take The Hindmost'. In Episode #473 of 'Musings' it is just myself Kyrin and I'm discussing: the beginnings, growth and eventual popping of financial bubbles across history (with examples like the Tulip Mania and the South Sea Bubble), why these criteria are all subjective and not numbers based, the reasons I believe there is a crypto/AI bubble that is midway through it's cycle and some predictions for what I think could happen in the next 6-18 months. A huge thanks to Lyceum & Petar for the support this week, it is very much appreciated!

    The Evolution Of Our Stretching | From Optimal Performance To Injury Avoidance

    We're revisiting an old topic .... with some updates.
