Revise your relationship with the unknown and change your life.
This is the final episode of season 1. Thanks for joining me on this journey. In this episode, we discuss a hypothesis about internet trolling and misinformation. I provide two pieces of evidence along with one personal anecdote supporting this
One of the things I am learning as I go through life is that you can’t binge on good behavior and expect a good life. What I mean by that is if your behavioral norms are corrupted, you can’t do the occasional good or even the occasional VERY go
Are nihilists correct? Is there a point to anything? Are there any effective counterarguments to the nihilistic assertion that life is meaningless? There is little to be found in terms of solid logical counterarguments when it comes to arguing
In this episode, we discuss two different career types. In my view, all careers fall somewhere in this dualistic spectrum: knowledge-centric careers (minority) and task centric careers (majority). We discuss the dynamics between people on diffe
The path to right wing extremism involves the extraction of men from society who don’t feel useful or like their life has a point. Every man has the desire for meaning, and the chance to contribute and improve their world. The views and beliefs
No summary today. You’ll have to listen to the podcast.
Nothing is more oppressive than nature. We as humans spend a lot of time trying to correct the wrongs of others. We want to see justice and ensure fairness, so we have laws and things like that. This is a noble pursuit, BUT we spend far less ti
In this episode, we discuss why everyone should be consuming more “boring” content and doing more “boring” things. Boring has a bad connotation, but boring is actually good, because when nothing is happening, then nothing bad is happening. Unfo
Alphabet has a monopoly on SEARCH (Google) and VIDEO (youtube). This is bad. How much money will it take to bribe them to only show traditional media, or to give it preferential treatment in the search algorithm? Or perhaps a traditional media
In this episode, we discuss the properties of power. Many people like to assign a value to power – power is bad, they say. Power is good, they say. Power is actually just a neutral property. It is a quantity that different people, places, and t
Most people growing up have at least one non-negotiable thing imposed by their parents, usually in the form of a belief about they way the world is, or about things they have to do if they want to be okay. This almost always leads to either the
Today we’ll discuss how the same thing from different perspectives might as well be an entirely different thing, and how the possibilities of human experience are infinite, even for a person with a seemingly boring life. Most humans fall into t
Which is worse? A dictator or a power vacuum? Both of these things have negatives. In a dictatorship, there is no freedom and everyone has to do what the dictator says or risk being jailed or killed. But, in a dictatorship, everyone knows who i
This is a controversial opinion episode and I don’t necessarily stand by all the statements. This is one way to look at the way in which humanity grew, and it may or may not be correct. There are several other alternative perspectives that I to
People have a low threshold of evidence to belive/accept things other people believe, but they have a high threshold to accept things other people don’t believe. All it takes for someone to change a belief isto meet a good number of people, tha
Everything looks easy and is easy to judge from far away. When people see someone else doing something, especially someone considered a professional, they assume the job is easier than it is, especially if they’ve dabbled in it a bit and are fa
Sloppy work is worth avoiding as it puts short term gains ahead of long term growth. In this episode, I discuss the value of doing things properly; crossing one’s t’s and dotting one’s i’s. It may seem like the slower, less efficient way to do
This episode is about things that can’t be proven. This topic is explored from two different sides, and we’ll answer three different questions about this topic from both sides. I believe these questions are worth asking because lots of people p
In this episode, I describe the benefits of taking a leap of faith and continuously coming back to something that you are learning that is completely new and alien to you. This is persistence. Even if you feel totally overwhelmed and ignorant e
In this podcast, I define three domains of white collar work in the 20th century. In particular, white collar work where one makes $70k a year or more, or white collar work where you work for yourself and develop your own business. This type of
In this episode, I discuss how outliers are really the only ones doing interesting things. New, interesting things happen at the edges. Unfortuntely, human beings have a tendency to coalesce around the status quo, and dismiss, and even ostraciz
In this episode, I talk about diversifying your self worth. One’s perceived self value should extend beyond one’s job and family commitments, because these are areas that are not fully within one’s control. One should try hard to get good at so
