NFT Money & Self Restriction: Does Stoicism Work If It Is Enforced?
About this episode
Food, alcohol and sugar are all in the firing line for this convo.
In Episode #291 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: our request for some feedback on our podcast, Kevin Rose and his latest NFT project, whether we can actually spot crypto scams, how Good Friday is a form of stoicism, what would happen if we enforced an arbitrary restriction on a whole country, the Mamut cookie in Mexico, the beauty of collaborative online art found on reddit, some cool tech goodies, why you SHOULDN'T listen to our opinion on hot gossip and our V4V pitch.
As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
