Around minute 20 they talk about reading and if you should stop reading a book. They also talk about economical cycles.
It’s not that much about Niall’s new book Doom, but a far reaching conversation and that’s the reason it made the list.

AI is coming and Sam Altman is the CEO of Open.AI – the creator of GPT-3.
They talk about the possibilities of AI. Image using DALL-E for illustration work. How the space is evolving and the hard conversations we need to have now – before it’s too late.

Bill is such a delight. He talks about his “social sliver” – micro-dosing LSD. John talks about how he got to know Jerry Garcia as a person through his playing.
Fascinating even if you’re not a Dead fan. It’s interesting to hear musicians who tour for much of the year talk in-depth about how corona altered their lives.

No reason to hear the whole thing if you’re not into crypto, but there is value in learning about DeFi. DeFi is turning around finance. In normal banking the bank lends out the money you store in your account, that where some liquidity comes from. In many DeFi projects you get a solid yield percentage for adding liquidity. DeFi is huge and has many use cases.

The Munk Debates Podcast – Be it resolved: Beethoven, not Mozart, is the world’s greatest composer
https://overcast.fm/+VRow-VmGo
Munk Debates with an unusual one. Not really a debate to be won. The good part is hearing the debaters highlight their composers with flourishing language and a few musical pieces.
It’s the Dead song I’m listening to the most right now. This version sells the story so well. Just listen to Bobby at the end😢
Standing on the moon
Where talk is cheap and vision true
Standing on the moon
But I would rather be with you
Somewhere in San Francisco
On a back porch in July
Just looking up to heaven
At this crescent in the skyStanding on the moon
With nothing left to do
A lovely view of heaven
But I’d rather be with you – be with you
