In this episode, the guys start off by discussing Warren Buffett looking old, Charlie Munger's glass eye, and the divine circle of cuckoldry which dictates capital outcomes.
Next, Hayden shares the story of the Russian city Norilsk, the precious metals mined there, and the rise of the Russian oligarchy.
Following, the guys talk Crypto, privatised state surveillance, online 'terror' cells, and more.
