On the podcast we start out by discussing time travel, and whether we’d rather travel back in time, or forward in time. We somehow migrate to discussing lost Bitcoin, the role of luck in life, a Michael Lewis speech at Princeton, the myth of American meritocracy, commitment to incendiary political figures, the sunk cost fallacy, political tribalism, refusing to believe obvious facts, John R. Brinkley, and the rise of “Quack Doctors” and “Border Blaster” radio.
