This is episode #300, so for something completely different, today we discuss whether or not you can create your own reality.

That would appear to be a silly thought; if I hit my thumb with a hammer, I can't create a reality where my thumb doesn't hurt. I can't just imagine that I'm the King of England. That makes logical sense, but it is also true that how we see the world determines how we respond to it, so in that sense we can create our own reality.

There is of course a lot more to it than that, so on today's show we start with Plato, and discuss the work of Professor Donald Hoffman, and relate it all to the world of debt, and men's beards during the COVID-19 lock down. Enjoy!
