BEARS! On the streets of my home in Akita, in the US stock & crypto markets...emergent paradigms abound
Tuesday, 18 November, 2025
In this episode I talk about how life transformed nearly overnight as bear sightings, and more gravely, bear attacks skyrocketed in the urban areas of Akita prefecture. To be clear, though bears are a well established part of life here, this is taking place at a scale even lifelong residents are at a loss to understand. That, and some discussion of the latest market drawdown and some implications.Here is a link to The Guardian piece I mention in the show. And the (open access) book I mentioned at the end of the show can be found here. This is a public episode.
