The conversation takes a deep dive into time as perhaps the most valuable &mdas...
Hosts Dale Adams and Ron Cisneros continue their series on ownership, exploring both the legal and philosophical dimensions of what it means to truly possess something.

They discuss the 1933 Montevideo Convention's definit...
A conversation about how government laws create a "gaming the system" mentality, and how moral choices versus legal ones drive very different behaviors.
