In the latest Leaked Lunch podcast I sit down with @Nouriel at The Ned to discuss his new book Mega Threats, his thoughts on the crypto collapse, post-facto crypto regulation and whether bunkers are a good form of apocalypse protection? https://t.co/i6z5ETJY7R

I was invited by @PaulDabrowa to co-interview Avi Loeb, the theoretical physicist heading up the Galileo Project looking for evidence of extraterrestrial technological artefacts. Warning! I am not an expert in this topic, but I did find it fascinating. https://t.co/yVpu9qLkV5

Samuel Pepys

Every day my Blind Spot wraps are getting more and more unbelievable. I feel like Samuel Pepys blogging the 1666 fire of London! https://t.co/S9jNg1ua4b

Richard Brody

In my research, I discovered that a significant potential influence for Alphavile was the work of Georges Bernanos. One citation for this is Richard Brody's book "Everything is Cinema", the working life of Jean-Luc Godard. https://t.co/22trSmI9lA

Analogia

George Dyson
Izabella KaminskaIzabella Kaminska

Elon is trying to make the point that we “the humans” are the superior processing machines that create the ultimate super computer. This is the point I took from George Dyson’s Analogia https://t.co/9u8Oqfyb4A https://t.co/HQ5Y1iXIfW

The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money & Power

Daniel Yergin

For those who can’t be bothered to read Daniel Yergin’s The Prize (which in my opinion is a must read for every financial professional trying to understand sanctions) there’s an equally good PBS doc of the book on YouTube as a cheat https://t.co/SjHWxngb3z
