About this episode
We get slightly philosophical on this one as we explore some of our deepest held beliefs.
In Episode #265 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: how to catch us live in the future, a few different definitions of the word, why I have a new hated buzzword, some things that we strongly believe, a shoutout to Petar the Slav & Dave Jones for boostagramming, some topics we find immensely boring, why flat earthers are just regular people and why meritocracy will fail when the robots take over.
As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
