My friend and podcast partner Marty has dropped our latest conversation.

In this podcast episode, we engage in a deep discussion about the global effects of war and conflict. We touch on historical lessons, such as those from the Gallipoli campaign, highlighting parallels in modern-day military strategies. We consider the economic impact of conflict, particularly on oil prices, while addressing how unintended consequences often go unaccounted for. Drawing from history and insights from public intellectuals like Niall Fergusson and Neil DeGrasse Tyson, they explore the Dunning-Kruger effect, emphasizing the importance of recognizing one’s own knowledge limits. The conversation underscores the complexities of geopolitics and the broader societal impacts of war.
