Welcome back Ladies & Gentlemen!

I appreciate your patience in waiting for this season of TFITRPC! To kick things off, this week Keaton spoke about Moderate Optimism, exploring the question "is there a rational reason for us to be optimistic?". Basing his argument off the conversation between Jordan Peterson & Matt Ridley, he discussed Relative & Economic optimism in this portion of the episode. We're excited to continue the journey with all of you, the Listeners on the show and we thank you for your time and support!
