Junto Club

Thinking Fast and Slow

Turn the Ship Around

Use Your Energy Wisely

Welcome to the 43rd meeting of Junto Club. 

On this episode, we’re talking about how energy is the finite resource we need to use wisely. We discuss how the world is becoming increasingly chaotic: there’s claims of sentient AI, another crypto bust, the recent Supreme Court decisions, trash cans reaching a new level of dirty and an opportunity for near instantaneous delivery. We sort through the good, bad, frustrating and smutty.

Someday I Will Be Out of My Head

Welcome to the 42nd meeting of Junto Club. 

On this episode, we’re all over the place. Michael sings. We talk about what it means to live in a fair world. We talk about the NBA finals and how literally contributing even more background noise to the world can help make you money. AI is becoming more and more artistic and creative, and Michael is trying to keep up.

Junto Club in Your Area

Welcome to the 39th meeting of Junto Club. 

It’s been a bit because Michael has been bad about posting episodes, and this is an episode the world most definitely needed.

In today’s meeting, we talk about printing your favorite drink, and a global phenomenon that everyone should be getting behind, K-Pop.

Into the Metaverse

Welcome to the 37th meeting of Junto Club. 

This episode has two spirited discussions. 

We start by taking up the conversation asking what is science and can science be trusted.

We also dive into the Metaverse. What is it? What can it be? Are we excited for it?

Did You Catch the Game?

Welcome to the 36th meeting of Junto Club. 

We’re back after an extended break due to holiday travel, illness and moving.

I start out with a rusty introduction before we move on to talk about learning from someone who knows, the launch of the James Webb Telescope, Betty White, and making classic cars electric.

Our main topic is on sports and society. We discuss how sports can have a profound role in shaping identity and invite you to worship at the alter of some of the country’s best franchises. We end on an unnecessarily depressing note to ring in the new year.
