For those of you who have already picked up a copy of my latest book, The Chaos Protocols, you’ll no doubt have detected Charles’s influence in a few of the chapters. He's among the cleverest independent financial minds out there today. We don't just talk the Benjamins, however. We also talk gardening, nutrition, philosophy, what to study at college, digital currencies, and how talking about money is really talking about meaning, and the return of the real.

Oh, but I was looking forward to this one.

We conducted it via the Skype/phone octoparrot, which you may notice in the audio. Topics included  Animism Phenomenology Materialism in the academy Challenges in parapsychology The origin of the term numinous as well as how it is experienced Show Notes Jeff's academic page The Super Natural (Amazon US) Authors of the Impossible (Amazon US)
