Definitely worth watching for the graphics I created as I think this might be one of our best episodes yet!

In Episode #262 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: what the 2020's will be remembered for, Juan's unbelievable humility (hahahahaha), thoughts on the stories humans tell, ridiculous but truthful fiction, how ideas travel in the world, the awesome dolls created in the 18th century, Stephen Wolfram's & the Mandelbrot set and getting your money hacked from creative bad people.

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