About this episode
It finally happened, but I warned you dammit I warned you (runs away crying).
In July 2022 we covered 3 books on this channel. I enjoyed learning more about Bitcoin and in particular about the history and property of money. Descartes had a real interesting process for finding truth and he conveys this beautifully in the first 3 of his 6 meditations. Juan seemed to enjoy his physics book although it is always gross when politics enter into science, even if it is only a little bit.
I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Kyrin out!
