Chris struggles to get going in today’s episode. Like the surging tidal wave of cross-border investment, however (and with Jim’s helpful gravitational pull), the boys eventually get into an interesting conversation about how to put your hard-earned money in the hands of ferners.
What’s a “ferner” you say? Well, in these parts it just means somebody who’s not from Texas. For everyone else, it just means.. Well, let’s just turn to the 17th century French philosopher and mathematician, Blaise Pascal (Pensées 294):
“Three degrees of latitude reverse all jurisprudence; a meridian decides the truth. Fundamental laws change after a few years of possession; right has its epochs; the entry of Saturn into the Lion marks to us the origin of such and such a crime. A strange justice that is bounded by a river! Truth on this side of the Pyrenees, error on the other side.”
Ya’ ain’t in Kansas anymore, buckaroos, that’s for sure! (No offense to the Kantians in the crowd)
