• Pirated movies in third world countries, music listening habits, and "spoiler alert" culture
    Jul 3 2024

    In this episode, we discuss what it was like for Daniel to grow up on dubbed movies in a third world country, purchased from the local "movie dealer" since that was the only way to get movies. We also discuss our music listening habits and what music means to us, and our thoughts on whether spoilers ruin the movie experience or not.

    May 2 2023

    How much money is enough? In this episode we discuss the psychology of money, our personal approach to money, and cultural differences around generosity and individualism.

    What would you do in the apocalypse? This week we discuss what our plan would be if the apocalypse happened, how we would react, and what roles we would assume in society in the absence of the internet and technology. And is it even healthy to spend so much time watching dystopian shows and thinking through apocalypse scenarios? Listen and let us know what you think.

  • Home school vs public school, the Belgian school system, and nature vs nurture
    Apr 10 2023

    Does homeschooling shape creative independent thinkers? Or just create socially stunted adults? In this episode, we discuss how our different school backgrounds shaped us as people, and whether the result was more because of nature or nurture. We also discuss the differences between the Belgian school system and the US school system, since Daniel grew up in the Congo, and then completed his last two years of high school in the US.
