John and I got philosophical while discussing religion and psychedelics (A conversation inspired by the book "The Immortality Key" by Brian Muraresku). We discussed John's time in the Amazon learning about shamanism, loneliness, and human evolution. Due to some technical difficulties, the episode ended abruptly. I cannot thank John enough for making time to speak with me on these topics, and for saving the show with a wonderful solo outro.

John's podcasts are: "Bitcoin Rapid-Fire"

"Closing the Loop"

Enjoy the show!

In this interview, I spoke with ButterCup Robrts and Rizzn of the FreeRossDAO to learn more about the history of the "Dark-web" marketplace known as the silk road. We discussed Ross's trial and sentencing. If you are interested in hearing a story about dirty cops, hidden evidence, and a man who was sentenced to double life + 40 years for operating a website.... then look no further.

NOTE: I do not endorse/disavow the FreeRossDAO. In truth, I know nothing about DAOs of any kind. I only hope you learn something from this discussion and it encourages you to think about the system we are all living in. Whether you decide to contribute or not is fully your own decision
