Hi folks, Jack Spirko here. Today you are listening to an episode of TSP Rewind.

Commercial free versions of past episodes podcast blast from the past.

I put these up when I can't do a show due to professional commitments or rare vacations.

These podcasts will appear in standard iTunes, Stitcher, and other feeds,

but will be titled TSP Rewind episodes and numbered accordingly.

And today we rewind back to December the 18th, 2013 as we continue going one year forward in time,

each day during this series of rewinds.

And today's episode was originally 1269 and it was called UR Your Only Solution.

This is one of those episodes again, I try to pick stuff for rewinds that are kind of timeless,

and also to put me out there a little bit saying like, here's what's coming, here's what's going to happen.

So you can, does he always talk about or not? Is he, what's his batting average?

You know, if you bat 750, you're better than any other batter in the game if we're talking baseball.

I think we can do better than that in the world of projecting where we're going,

because much like yesterday, this episode had a lot to do with looking where we had been,

and then using that to determine where we're going.

You know, I said many, many, many years ago, long before this original episode in 2013,

we don't study history, right?

To learn from the mistakes of the past so that we do not repeat them.

That it's a lie that we tell kids to get in the reader book because it sounds good.

No, we study history because some dumbass isn't going to repeat the mistakes of the history,

and they are going to do it, and they're going to use the latest technology when they do it,

so it's actually going to be worse.
