Cutting Complainers From Your Life | Consumerism & The Anti-Growth Mindset

Best be a go-getter who doesn't whine otherwise you might not notice Juan around as much!

In Episode #353 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: the irony of Juan complaining about complainers, the forgotten intricacies of duelling in the 1800's, public knowledge that gets lost over time, why I like to go to Bitcoin meetups and Juan is moving away from networking, the strange people I first met in Chile and why I personally push back against consumerism and growth for growth's sake.

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
