Thanks Moe and Adam. A good show to cap it.

Haven‘t been listening much recently due to travels but trying to catch up now. Good to hear you‘re going strong in spite of market conditions & keeping the torch burning. High time to boost you again ;-)

Thank you to @npub14mcddvsjs… for another excellent interview! As a longtime anglophile I‘m listening to almost every one of your episodes and this one stands out in particular because it lays out some clear tactical steps to be taken in British politics to get the UK back on track to once again become a great & prosperous country. Not all‘s gold in Switzerland, btw., but I do strongly believe (as apparently does Phil, too) that the Swiss political model has many advantages in its favour and few downsides. And I would even go as far as rephrasing Sir Winston‘s quotation that „the Swiss political system is the worst on the planet with the exception of all others that have already been tried.“ Keep up the good work & consider running for public office in your town to be able to implement changes yourself. Small steps matter & everyone with good ideas should contribute to the change needed! That‘s also one of the basics in the Swiss political system 😉

Thank you to @npub1jlrs53pkd… for this insightful interview with @utxo_the_webmaster_🧑‍💻 @npub1utx00neqg… ! Gave me a nice overview of the many challenges regarding relays, algorithms, and clients as well as an outlook on things to come. Looking forward to the further development of your ideas & thank you for your continued work. Greatly appreciated 🙏🏼

Thank you sir! CAF is unworthy of civilized society. Any thoughts on whether this is constitutional at all?

Thx for another insightful episode. Keep up the good work! Interesting point of view on the Robinhood/AMC topic, and I‘m looking forward to future developments in this regard.

Thx for another insightful episode! Regarding the distilling of personality, that story reminded me of a German researcher called Sven Gabor Janszky. He‘s been researching how the future could unfold for many years and in one of his books he‘s already got a „grandpa bot“ who‘s basically the personality of the subject‘s father. And the subject uses this bot to talk to his father in the evenings and even allows his daughter, who‘s still somehow traumatized by the loss of her beloved grandfather, to use the bot to soothe her. Interesting but quite weird IMHO! I‘d rather train an AI bot on all my Obsidian files to be faster in retrieving information buried there…

Thank you sir for another insightful & thought-provoking episode! As to the addictiveness of nicotine, I‘ll dig deeper and let you know. Regarding the FED‘s trajectory on rate changes, there’s an interesting take by Raoul Pal‘s team that the FED‘s looking at the wrong metrics (and yes, we all know they’re all skewed) and might therefore be led to the wrong conclusion: https://info.realvision.com/e3t/Ctc/RG+113/cz03G04/MW1Y1jjX… Looking forward to your further coverage of this topic! By the way, I absolutely support your take that a lot of media coverage today focusses on the negative aspects. Maybe it‘s somehow inherent in the language, because we have these phrases in English like „I‘s true, I‘m afraid“ or similar. Why „afraid“? But that’s a topic for another day on the other side!

Thanks for another insightful & informative episode! Good luck with staying dry & ditching vaping! I‘m keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 As for nicotine, it‘s not addictive according to my knowledge — what‘s addictive is the myriad of other components mixed into cigarette tobacco and vaping fluids. Nicotine even helps blocking spike proteins from docking to cells. So your nicotine patches will have a doubly positive effect! I‘m looking forward to meeting your new self on the other side…

Thanks mate & keep up the good work!

Thank you for another insightful episode, which gets me, too, thinking about life in a rural community. Amish, Mormons, they all focus more on family as wealth — and I guess we all could profit by taking a step back from our rat race & ask ourselves what we really cherish is life. Someday we‘ll meet to discuss these topics on the other side!

Thanks again for abother insightful & entertaining episode! @progressivelyworse is right in stating that Cathedral deserves more love! Regarding the BTC payments to the Iranian maritime insurance company, I‘d be wary of the WMD tactic… just saying! Keep up the good work & I‘ll see you on the other side mate!

Thanks again my fren! Regarding Orange Juice: I would focus more on the acquisition of American companies whose owners want to retire. There are a ton of businesses owned by baby boomers that want to retire in the next couple of years. The question is, are there enough entrepreneurs interested in taking them over? CU on the other side!

Thanks for another insightful episode @npub1vwymuey3u… ! Time to bury BIP-110 but keeping the intentions in the back of our heads, since they indeed have a point.

Great & very inspiring interview of Josh Hendrickson by @npub1pdrtre6d5… ! Required listening for everyone remotely interested in US politics, economics, and bitcoin. Loved the juxtaposition of Investment Biker and Boris Jelzin.

Excellent interview of @npub1zk6u7mxlf… by @npub1ltz38gwwm… giving an overview of OpenClaw and its potential. It‘s quite mind-boggling that nowadays everyone can set up a PA & leverage the possibilities of AI. What an exciting Brave New World we live in! Github link: https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw

Thank you @npub1ltz38gwwm… for a very inspiring & informative episode. AI will be transformative to the way we all live and the change, as always, is gradually then suddenly. Kudos to you for pushing awareness in a way that empowers & inspires your listeners. Looking forward to your next episode as well as your product!

Thank you for another very insightful episode! Great tech developments & very pertinent arguments easily explained so anyone can understand what’s at stake. Kudos to your work & keep it up!

Thanks my fren 🙏🏼

Thank you for another nice situation overview my fren. Your take on the Urea fertilizer bottleneck and that it‘s pissing people off is apt in a unique way: urea is one of the main ingredients of urine! So instead of being pissed, all these ppl should just collect their urine & use it as fertilizer for their crops as well as themselves, but that‘s for another day when I see you on the other side…

Thank you to @npub1ltz38gwwm… for this nice interview of @npub1z4y76jl8r… ! Learning is central to our species & I can highly recommend having a daily (or at least weekly) learning habit. Keep up the good work, both of you!

Thanks to @npub1cj8znuztf… for this nice interview of @npub1r6xc8z27u… . Taking back education & fostering (or even reinstating) multi-generational dialogue is extremely important today if we want to survive as social species. Keep up the good work, both of you, and keep spreading the word!

Thx for another insightful & educational episode. Sad to hear about your friend’s passing! Sounds like she really was one of a kind & a kindred spirit. Dr John Donne once wrote that when a person dies, her page in the book of life isn’t ripped out but rather translated into a better language. May she rest in peace & may her memory be a blessing 🙏🏼
