What's the Big Deal About Bitcoin? http://amzn.to/2izAaWg
This is the craziest time in Bitcoin's history, and it's mired in confusion and misinformation. To help give some context, I'm joined by a long time Bitcoiner and entrepreneur Ryan X. Charles, who is the CEO and co-founder of Yours.
He breaks down some of the facts and history surrounding the network split and creation of Bitcoin Cash. If you're interested in Bitcoin at all, you'll want to listen to this episode.

Intention comes prior to rationality. If you don't care about the truth, it doesn't matter how sharp your mind is.

Hegel is famous for being a difficult and controversial philosopher. His work comes up often in my conversations about paradox and contradiction - from those who argue that paradoxes can exist in the world.
I don't know much about Hegel, so I've traveled to Atlanta to interview Dr. Donald Verene of Emory University, who specializes in Hegelian philosophy. He summed up the philosophy well at the end of our conversation:
"Ultimately, where you stand as a philosopher is that you accept the fact that the basis of things is the doubleness of everything -
that you just accept paradox. And philosophy teaches you how to accept that - that's why you do philosophy."

Can we talk about things that don't exist?
This is my interview breakdown of Episode 33 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbMY-jw92QM) - my conversation with Dr. Jody Azzouni. The overall conversation was about the metaphysics of mathematics, but for the first half, we focused on metaphysics in general - and specifically whether or not some things could have a mind-dependent existence.
Dr. Azzouni says no; I say yes. It's one of my favorite interviews so far, and this is why.

The word is the physical pattern. The concept is what's sparked in your mind by the word. The referent is what the word refers to in the world.
Sometimes, the concept does not have an external referent.

The Praxis Alternative: http://www.steve-patterson.com/praxis
JP Sears is known for his "ultra-spiritual" satirical videos. However, he's not just a satirist. Turns out, he's actually a serious life-coach with interesting ideas who actually believes many of the things he satirizes.
In this interview, we talk about his worldview and ideas about spirituality and religion, and I share some of my thoughts on the subject.
If you can sort through the dirt and dogma, there is truth to be found in the spiritual side of life.

Who determines whether an individual or group has the right to govern themselves?
At what point does secession become a legitimate political action?
How many people need to get together in order to secede?
I try to tackle some of these questions while giving my perspective on the imminent Catalonia independence referendum. I am unabashedly in favor of secession - all the way down to the individual.
