What is Effective Philosophy? Juan and I simplify hard to grasp concepts into pragmatic takeaways that can be applied to every day life (fitness, goal setting, work, parenting, travel, hobbies, finances, etc.,). 2 x episodes a week. We go live every Wednesday with our meanderings, plus an extra as a more casual conversation with a guest or between ourselves.

episode 369: Why Do Humans Value Freedom So Much?
What does freedom mean to you? In Episode #197 on 'Freedom' Juan and I discuss: why Juan thinks it is a difficult topic to talk about, what we would do if put in charge of Australia, the difference between freedom of an individual vs having a free society, why I personally didn't like Sebastian much and how this conversation has saved me a lot of time. Just FYI. Our discussion was based on the conversation between Tim Ferriss & Sebastian Junger in Episode #513 of The Tim Ferriss Show.
As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
