I'm kicking the conversations back off again with a casual chat with Pete Smissen (who is making his 4th appearance on the Mere Mortals).In Conversation #80, Pete and I discuss: horrible things from general history, why basically everybody in Australian history got wrecked, our thoughts on a whole bunch of issues facing the world, cultural nuances regarding how immigrants view education and why (shock and horror) women are different than men.As always, I hope you enjoy.
