Are past humans enough like us to learn from and if so, what do you try to apply to look forward in time?

In Episode #344 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: how a 5am question brought this about, viewing 50 year old people as young, why the coming generations might have it easy, whether technology could mitigate the worse points of humanity, if curiosity is unlocked by the ability to have a voice, the famous G. Michael Hopf quadrant and why consciousness = attention = fame.

Huge thanks to Petar, Dave Jones and Liam's Mum for the support. And a warm welcome again to everyone's favourite Slav!

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
