You’ll hear us ponder the whimsical and humorous aspects of such encounters, and how regret can sometimes be a powerful motivator for future actions.

What's the deal with subsidence and how does it relate to insurance? We break down the concept of subsidence, explore its causes, and even entertain the idea of a podcast that reads and discusses Wikipedia entries.

Inspired by Alan Watts and Sam Harris, we discuss how our perception of risk influences our decisions. Finally, we use the metaphor of hallucinated snakes to illustrate how irrational fears impact our lives and share strategies to manage them effectively. Tune in for a lively discussion blending nostalgia, humor, and insightful reflections on everyday life!
