What are the mental traps that you fall into and how do you try to combat them?

In Episode #247 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: my recent TikTok superstardom with my brothers random friends, essential survival tools, essential entertainment devices (to throw at noisy crows), the mind reading capabilities shown in 'The Portrait Of A Lady' by Henry James, areas where we stuff up all the time, misinterpretation of an NFL kiss cam, the superpower of Dave Chappelle and a recommendation to try out Oscar Merry's Fountain.fm.

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
