Congolese Fashion & Sapeur Culture (Episode #134 - Meanderings)

Have you heard of the Congolese Dandies and their expensive fashionable attire (suits) whilst living in ghettos/slums? In this episode of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: the difference between being highly focused vs getting into a flow state of non-thinking, gym etiquette and if it is permissible to use two machines for supersetting, wasting precious resources on random crap in Sapeur culture/potlatches, why you might be reading something created by artificial intelligence, Instagram models/influencers who are actually computer generated and whether AI will ever be able to write a better book than humans can. As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
