Gamestop Stonks & The Meme Economy (Episode #149 - Meanderings)

Can the individual win against the big banks in the battle of Gamestop stonks in the new meme economy? In this episode of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: how one should behave when called out for getting something wrong, the hilarious situation of a reddit group fighting against the financial system, why the banks will probably end up winning the fight, understanding a book by only hearing its reviews, what heavy squatting actually feels like and a fun hypothetical of taking psychedelics with Sam Harris and smoking weed with Mike Tyson.As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!Timeline:(0:00) - Horseshit not bullshit(0:26) - Mere Mortal Moments(1:14) - Sesame Street debacle(3:14) - Getting things wrong(10:12) - Gamestop & Wall St(20:00) - The banks always win; they set the rules(23:13) - Greed is the wanting of fast money(24:46) - Can you understand a book without reading it(27:12) - What a 200 kg squat feels like(28:59) - Taking drugs with a famous person(32:21) - Losing your head with Mere MortalsAbout Mere Mortals:Deep conversations with a light-hearted touch.
