The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

I'm a terrible dancer.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

He's like, no, I literally can't because I have...

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

$30,000 worth of gold strapped to my leg.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

And I was like, okay, first of all, why?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

And he's like, well, I just came from the airport, but also I don't want to leave this in my hotel room and it only has a really crappy safe.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

And I just flew in from Sierra Leone or something like that.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

I was like, okay, still wondering why you have gold strapped to your leg.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

He's like, places like that, you never know what you're going to need when you're going to need it.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

If you have to escape a place like that, you don't have time to go back to your house and get stuff because chances are your house is on fire and has already been raided by a militia.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

So he's like, I always keep this gold strapped to my leg even when I'm sleeping because I don't want it to get stolen because it's worth like 30 grand.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

this kilo of gold or whatever it is.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

And I was like, why do you live there?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

And he's like, well, I'm mining for coltan.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

And I was like, you're mining for coltan?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

What is that for?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

And he explains how it's in cell phones and stuff.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

Bear in mind, this is like 2009, so I'd never heard of rare earth minerals or whatever any of these things are, rare earth elements.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

And he explains how it's in every phone, every electronic device.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

And I was like, you're a miner?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

That seems like a really bad, unhealthy thing to do.
