I'm Rufus Griscombe, and I'm Caleb Bissinger.

And this is the next big idea.

Today, why crypto technology might be important after all. Happy New Year, Caleb.

I did. Yeah, it was great. How about you?

You know, I just spent five days in Mexico with my extended family, like a dozen plus kids running around, a few too many rum punches, good times.

I was only working about half the time.

And how much overlap was there between the rum punches and the working?

More than I'd like to admit.

And in those moments, Caleb, I'm occasionally wondering, like, why do we do this?

Is it the fame?

Is it the money, the groupies?

I mean, I'm still waiting on all three.

We definitely have a few groups.

You know, if I had to boil it down, I think I do this.

I think we do this for two reasons. One, I'm trying to

figure out how to be a better human in all realms. Health, work, play, friendship, parenting.

But second, I'm trying to figure out, I think we're all trying to figure out what the heck is

happening in the world. And it's kind of nice to be able to call upon

the leading scientists, business leaders, psychologists, philosophers to be able to have these

conversations. And it's our job as humans to figure out what the hell's going on. Because it,

because it's important, it helps us navigate going on. Because it's important.

It helps us navigate the world.
