Starting From Scratch: Could Humanity Survive A Calamity?

A witch has taken away all of humanity's progress and we can have everything back if we create an iPhone 13. Can we do it?

In Episode #276 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: some recent changes to our schedule, a hypothetical I took from the Lex Podcast, why I am bearish in the short term and bullish on the long term, why most of humanity will die really quickly, the different epochs we will go through and why neither of us think we will be able to recreate the iPhone.

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