We draw parallels to Phish’s enduring, proudly off-kilter path: their refusal to chase a radio hit, the wonderfully weird choices on Hoist (hello, Riker’s Mailbox), and how playful defiance, secret language, and fan connection can outlast trends. Along the way, we debate calling your shot versus quiet competence, Dunning–Kruger in the influencer era, Buddhism’s lens on suffering and self-importance, and whether telling the truth is today’s most subversive act. We also hit Bitcoin culture—scarcity mindsets, circular economies, paying in sats, and why real scenes need real art—asking: where’s the music for the moment, and what makes it truly subversive?<br /><br />Plus: memories of hard-to-get shows like Phish at The Met, the strange magic of scarcity, Fishman’s political detour, Bernie-era populism, and the improbable ways conviction carries creative projects through.</p>
