By Rich | 2021-02-17

Remington Tonar returns to the show. Our topics range from WallStreetBets to Cryptocurrency to his intellectual influences and curiosities. We discuss herd mentality and people feeling our current form of capitalism isn’t working for them.

A theme that permeates this episode is the importance of education that inspires innovative thinking and mental conditioning.

(1:30) Remington’s thoughts on WallStreetBets.

(12:30) Can anything be done about Big Tech’s power to sell our attention and how it can lead to wealth inequality?

(17:00) Economics of Supply and Demand. How does one overcome biology? The importance of self-regulating by imposing a high order of values and ideas on top of instincts. “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” is horrible advice. Radical innovation vs. incremental innovation.

(31:28) Cryptocurrency. Currency only means something because we believe it means something. How does currency become legit?

(35:22) People and Ideas that have influenced Remington.

(41:50) Remington’s thoughts on populism and the masses’ ability to take collective action. Black Lives Matter, Capitol Riots, WallStreetBets. Using physics and nature to understand wealth inequality.
