This week, we speak with writer and friend of the show Trevor Strunk (@hegelbon) about recent developments in the smartest sector of our very real economy: the gaming/crypto convergence, in which powerful thinkers from Andreesen Horowitz have decided that the best way to develop jobs is to pay people in the developing world a pittance to do XP grinding on behalf of gamers in the developed world. Sounds great to us! We also address the British politics moment surrounding the 2020 Christmas party and why it's superseded coverage of the UK government's new bill that lets them strip citizenship of anyone they choose. Hope you enjoy!
