    Mixed Mental Arts

    As kids, we’re like little sponges blindly copying culture from the people around us. The cultures into which we were all born evolved to fit very old agricultural environments. Each contains timeless wisdom about human affairs but none of them is ideally suited to navigating the ever-changing environment in which we find ourselves.

    The goal of Mixed Mental Arts is to steal the best cultural software from everywhere and apply the core principle of Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do “Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.” Welcome to the dojo! We’re excited to learn from you.

    Ep 346 - Getting to the Root of the Problem: Lawrence Lessig May 07, 2018
    Show notes

    Lawrence Lessig is a law professor at Harvard, and a friend of the podcast.

That money problem is the key issue he tackles in his book Republic Lost. Bryan and Hunter get fired up when talking to Lawrence, and this was no exception.
