The final hour of this episode covers other topics to include:
We know what you are thinking: Hell yes, another Matrix episode.

In this episode we discuss the opening ceremony, women's boxing, Russia being allowed to compete in the Olympics, and more.
Do people really believe in Poop coin? Shiba Inu? Dogecoin? Polkadot? Ethereum?
Is there a difference between the people who believe in meme coins vs other categories of shitcoins?
All shitcoins lose over time to Bitcoin. Don't be a shitcoiner.
In this episode we talk all the crazy events that have occurred over the past few weeks, from Trumps assassination attempt, to global software outages and Elon Musk getting laser eyes on twitter.
Is philosophy just linguistic rubix cubes for nerds? Does philosophy serve a purpose, or do meaningless riddles carry as much weight as proper philosophical inquiry?
If some are meaningless and some have important implications, how do we sort through which is which?
We discuss these questions, as well as the issue of there only and always being 2 Sith lords.

You may be thinking Mad Max is just a popcorn action movie--and we would agree with you, but its setting seems ripe for exploring deeper concepts.
In this episode we discuss what Mad Max got right and wrong, as well as similarities between it, Star Wars, and Dune.
WE ARE BACK.
Naturally, we begin the episode with a brief Star Wars discussion, followed by a dive into what virtue and morality are according to both the cynics and Plato.
The discussion leads us into questions regarding epistemology, free will, the morality of the covid response, and more.
If you pay money to someone or something at the threat of imprisonment or violence, you are their slave. If you pay 30% of the product of your labor, then you are 30% their slave.
In this episode we discuss tax evasion, tax avoidance, Roger Ver, crabs, the game theory behind taxation and politics, and more.
Its almost unbelievable that the first attempt at an independent, decentralized cryptographic money would succeed. Maybe its because the first attempts did NOT succeed. In this episode we discuss pre-cursors to Bitcoin, including failed attempts, that all helped shape Bitcoin into the only successful attempt at creating money independent of state.
One of the greatest movies ever made. A glimpse into peak Japanese culture, told through a fun but tragic heroes journey. We discuss why this movie is a top 5 all time movie.
On the great halvening, Bitcoins total supply is cut in half, but the value doubles. No wait, the supply is doubled which halves the value--like a stock split...
No, no, only the newly minted bitcoin are cut in half, that's why you want bitcoin that was mined before the halving.
Or maybe its something else?
Real estate is the boomer's asset. Boomers have the majority of the wealth, and use real estate as a store of value. The effect? Soaring home prices for first time home buyers.
Bitcoin is our way out, but we also want a certain quality of life. This episode discusses hodling Bitcoin vs exchanging some for other assets
Bitcoin is causing a massive shift in power from central legacy systems to individuals. Will this power shift occur smoothly and peacefully with legacy systems capitulating by adopting and integrating Bitcoin into society, or will the legacy system fight to retain its power, forcing a revolutionary future?
What is Bitcoin?
Money, truth, freedom, justice, a tool to fix all the problems in the world. We hear all kinds of answers so we decided to break it down.
Are metaphors good explanations of Bitcoin, or does it leave us with only a high-level understanding of Bitcoin?
In this episode we discuss these issues, answer what Bitcoin is, and discuss essential Bitcoin components and functions.
A national holiday--but we don't get the day off work. Groundhog day is arguably one of the most important holidays of the year, a day when we discover whether spring is here or winter will remain. It is also an enduring comedy movie where a man repeats the same day again and again.
In this episode we discuss the holiday, the movie, and how it relates to Bitcoin.
In this episode we break down what effect the ETFs will have on Bitcoin. Some of the topics we discuss:
-What are the risks of BTC ETFs for purchasers, and for Bitcoin itself
-Cointelegraph's article stating ETF approval ~6 months prior to approval
-Insider Trading
-Jamie Dimon / JP Morgan as Authorized Participants (APs) for the BTC ETFs (and what that means)
-Bitcoin vs Bitcoin ETF vs MSTR
Euthyphro, Apology, Crito are three dialogues discussing the morality and justice surrounding the death of Socrates, written by Plato.
In Crito, Socrates' friend, Crito, offers to smuggle Socrates out of Athens to escape his punishment. Socrates makes the case that it would be unjust, or morally wrong for him to do so.
Is it always wrong to disobey society and societal laws? Is man the slave and...
We all know what justice is, and morality too... We just can't explain it very well.
Plato explores these topics in the Euthyphro Dialogue which we dive into. This episode discusses the arguments Socrates makes to Euthyphro and their relevance to today, the method Socrates uses to discover truth, and the answers that Socrates gives us to life's greatest questions.
