    Vince (VBL) Lanci joins me again to discuss some interesting parallels and crucial differences between gold miners and bitcoin miners.

    Episode #169 - Alastair Crooke and the Existential Crises in the Middle East
    Feb 6 2024
    Author, former UK diplomat and owner of Conflicts Forum Alastair Crooke returns to the podcast to discuss his recent articles on the religious and cultural imperatives surrounding Israel's response to the October 7th attack by Hamas. Crooke's analysis, I believe, is essential in picking up some of the nuances of the conflict while also highlighting why there no easy answers here.

    Episode #168 - Pete Quinones and the Plight of Being Post-Libertarian
    Feb 2 2024
    Podcaster and commentator Pete Quinones joins me for a discussion about what's going on with libertarians and why in his opinion they've lost the plot. Stuck in a fugue of reflexivity of their own devising, much of the libertarian movement has willingly taken themselves off the gameboard of not only politics but the culture war itself.
