  • I may write what we are all thinking…

    I wanna leave a review but I don’t.

    I have wiki’d and google my life off……….

    Where did this duo come from?

    (Couldn’t tell ya)

    I feel blindsided.

    I adored Meahel & Simon together… the riff off Aussie culture grounded me and I always felt welcomed.

    Unfortunately while this podcast is beautifully edited, rehearsed and professional… it lacks the authentic soul of a past power couple.

    Life is serious enough….

    This makes 2026 feel bleak…. is that the right word?

    … hmmmm beige. Like a profes... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

He’s Making Oil From Sunlight and Air | Casey Handmer
Q: If there's a 25-year-old watching this right now, what advice would you give them?
Handmer recommends reading practical material, including his blog posts, and using ChatGPT or Claude in voice mode to explore real-world questions. He says AI can help people take on technical tasks and that the key is to direct the AI rather than be directed by it.
He’s Making Oil From Sunlight and Air | Casey Handmer
Q: What is an overt command economy and how does that affect Australia?
Handmer describes it as a system in which centralized bureaucrats direct production, contrasting it with decentralized markets where prices communicate supply and demand. He argues that Australia's expanding public sector and political interventions risk weakening private enterprise and market signals.
Michio Kaku: The Truth About UFOs, Aliens & Human Immortality
Q: Do you think we're alone in the universe?
Kaku says it is highly probable that other intelligent species exist, given the enormous number of stars and planets, but he does not know whether humans have encountered them.
Michio Kaku: The Truth About UFOs, Aliens & Human Immortality
Q: What is the theory of everything?
Kaku describes it as a unifying principle that explains the universe. He says string theory is currently the leading candidate because it could account for matter and energy, though it has not been proven.
Robin Hanson: AI Will Inherit Humanity (And Change Everything)
Q: If somebody watching this is in their 20s, they've just finished school, and they are really unsure as to what their career path would look like, what advice would you give them?
Hanson advises young people to build flexible, broadly useful skills and knowledge rather than making risky commitments based on uncertain predictions about which specific technologies or careers will succeed.
