About this episode

What it's about

There's a Greek man named Diogenes who lived in a jar. To prove a point. Emme and David make philosophy useful — not as a vibe but as financial infrastructure. "Enough" is a number you set in advance, not a feeling you wait for. Pre-define it and the comparison game stops moving the goalpost.
