Effective Philosophy: Doing And Not Just Thinking
About this episode
We've coined and trademarked a new term: Effective Philosophy. And by that I mean we've claimed it on the internet. $1B royalties payable if you ever even think of using it!
In Episode #283 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: the cool chapters art I'm making, whether philosophy is just mental masturbation, some random encounters I had with people recently, why we believe in philosophy that can be put into action, people who can throw things really really far, why I drove like an idiot for 6 months, the nerve-wracking parts of crypto and why value for value is an effective philosophy.
As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
