A brief episode considering the benefits and shortcomings of questioning your own decisions.

Sapiens: The inspiration for this episode

Another, smaller, Enclave episode with personal musings on the recently adopted notion of "Dying for the Economy".

"A Healed Femur": I recalled a renown anthropologist, Margaret Mead, and her notion that the first signs of civilization was the healed femur and how that indicated that there was a society around the wounded person to bring them back to health.

This is a 'lite' episode which I'm tentatively calling Bite Sized Enclave where I tackle a single question that's been bugging me lately or responding to something that came up in an earlier episode. It's a little bit of train of thought, not edited down, just me and the microphone.

I wonder why we can't have wealthy eccentrics like Teddy Roosevelt and how much we need someone like him and the ultra-wealthy to save our planet.

Jean-Virgile Laprise joins me to talk about 3d Printing and his business, Canadian/American politics in the current climate, automation and the future of Artificial Intelligence.

This episode runs the longest of the Enclave discussions, I hope you enjoy!

Here are some references and news links that we cover:

M3 Studios: Jean's terrain company

My guest today is Amanda Jaros, a long time friend, actress and writer. Today, however, we're focusing on a topic very important to her and for the people of Los Angeles; advocacy for women who are victims of human trafficking.

Amanda Jaros

Matthew Raffety is a professor, lecturer and author of history with an emphasis on American History. We talk about the mythology of the Two Party system and how the founding generation were skeptical of such an element in politics. What does this mean for our current society? What does it mean for the future? Come speculate with us.

Some information on my guest:

Alex Choate is my guest for this episode and we talk about a wide range of subjects from filmmaking, his experiences as a teacher, memes and where we're all heading. We talk Doom Eternal and how everything's getting really grimdark around here, Artax in the Swamp of Sorrow and, of course, Naruto running.
