In 1727, Benjamin Franklin organized a group of friends to create a club for mutual improvement. Inspired by Franklin's Junto club, we are following in the tradition, and look to discuss topics around science, philosophy, politics, business, and anything else that might be of interest, in an effort to better understand ourselves and the world.

Welcome to Meeting 66 of the Junto club. On this episode, Shu is a man of many quotes to live by. We discuss the growing interest in peptides, and the conflict in Iran. Our main topic is lead by Matt, who read Capitalist Realism by Mark Fischer. The book argues that capitalism is inconsistent and untenable because of its threat to the environment, workers mental health, and the bureaucracy it has created. The text doesn’t offer any real solutions; instead, it’s a masterclass in identifying problems that continue to snowball. (Recorded on April 19, 2026)
