Bonversations | Ep #81 | Patrick O'Neil (22-Jul-2026)

Why does alcoholism still carry such a stigma in society?   How common is sabotage and treachery in the business world? Can people really enjoy life with little money and few possessions? --- The Member bonus for this episode is different from usual. The entire interview with Patrick O'Neil has been published publicly, so there is no 'extra conversation' in this case. Instead, the Member upload for Bonversation #81 is a standalone post-amble, almost two hours, covering: * Bizarre synchronicities involving The Shining, Doctor Sleep, Stephen King, and real life.  * Elon Musk's 'war on the woke mind virus' and childhood 'transitions'. * The 'simulation theory' and Nick Bostrom. * JLB's own history with alcohol (including a visit to AA, and why he decided to attend). * The pros and cons of chasing dreams, and what happens when people get what they 'want'.  --- You can find the Member post-amble (and shownotes) for this episode at Bonversations.com
