We're back! A lot has happened and we dive into the end of the war in Afghanistan and then we make Canadian politics a little less boring.

My sister, Nadia (an actual real journalist), joins us to talk about the Pegasus leak which involved thousands of journalists, diplomats and politicians. We talk about surveillance and monopolies and whether President Biden's executive order will help bust tech monopolies.

Marcelo and I talk about some notable headlines including Canada's first indigenous Governor General, how millennials will never own homes, and the assassination of the Haitian president.

Pretty cheery stuff.

Marcelo and I talk to Maika Isogawa, a former acrobat, Stanford graduate in Symbolic Systems, and stoic.  We talk about what it means to be a stoic, stoic exercises, her time in Cirque du Soleil (Marcelo couldn't help it) and I eventually end the episode in shame.

We surprisingly talk about having kids and what that means and Marcelo finds out he's a liberal.

We talk about bullshit jobs and how they drain us of meaning and purpose.  Are you in a bullshit job? Do you want to leave it or do you love it?

We're a little split. enjoy.

Our gram

We talk about Ken Wilber and integral theory--a philosophy that is sneaking its way into self help, and a bunch of masculinity podcasts.  We're joined by Erik Haines (@integralrising), friend of the show.

We sit down with Miryama Abdulaziz to talk about cyber security and whether my nudes are safe. Actually more like, whether America's nudes are safe. We explore the Sunburst attack, Stuxnet, and whether we're in a cyber war. 

We finally sit down and shoot the shit about NFTs and their surprising pitfalls.  There's a lot of buzz these days around this new medium (?asset class) but there's also a lot of unknowns.  Marcelo and I talk about a recent interview we did with an NFT expert and a recent article in the Atlantic.

We're late. Marcelo explains why in this podcast but basically we're preparing something on NFTs.
