From listeners:
• Listener Cris writes, "On your Feb 1st show someone asked for a reading list of your books. I thought it sounded fun and simple so I did just that!" Here's the list.
• We've posted the emails from last week's show, when the comments board was disabled. Read them here.
News:
• From the University of Cambridge:
• Stephen Diehl (thread from Feb 8, 2021): "Q: What do you get when you mix Silicon Valley tech bros, multi-level marketing, Gamergate and the Church of Scientology? A: Bitcoin."
• The classic explanation of Bitcoin, from @Theophite (Aug 2018): "Imagine if keeping your car idling 24/7 produced solved Sudokus you could trade for heroin."
• Axios, Feb 8, 2021: "Bitcoin skyrocketed to record highs Monday morning, cracking $44,000 after Tesla revealed in a securities filing that it has bought $1.5 billion worth of the cryptocurrency and will start accepting it as a payment method for Tesla products."
• And then from Twitter CEO @jack:
• China Enters the Arctic Digitization Race (National Interest, Jan 17, 2021): "Unfolding in real-time is a new great game of sorts: the digitalization of the Arctic. Stakeholders range from public to private enterprises and include autocratic and democratic governments. The 'prize' is control over the flow of information within the Arctic, which affords both political and economic windfalls."
• For more reading: Bitcoin As A Meme And A Future (by Lana Swartz in Noema, Feb 11, 2021): "You set your money and its value outside the things you think are crumbling. You secure it with the things you see as eternal: cryptography and markets."

Lots of echoes in the stories of Barents and Munk. Ragged edges as oppression is switching horses from feudalism to mercantilism and capitalist exploitation. The later generations -- Scott, Amundsen, Perry -- much more firmly in empire and capital. But Munk was, later, probably, actually physically killed by the king he kept trying to serve by enduring unimaginable hardship and loss and sacrifice.
tl;dr: Crazytown. Bananapants.

AfricanAmerican physical therapist discusses the somatic roots of racial stances - inherited over centuries. Africans experienced Slavery & still carry it - but Europeans experienced Feudalism & brutal exploitation that drove them to this 'New World' desperate for Individual power...

"There are some people who are not internet billionaires" Mark Hurst says as he covers his head with a shroud so god can't see him eating an entire whole baked baby seal stuffed with ortolans and iPhones!
Tulips. Exactly.
