A peek behind the curtain as we bring you a different type of episode, recording us as we went to meet people in person out in the park last Saturday.  We walked and met people, then set up a table and recorded outside in the park. The episode we recorded there is also being released today as SFM episode 61.

How often do you find yourself in a park, lost in the beauty of nature, and wishing you could strike a stimulating conversation with someone? We promise you'll learn exciting ways to initiate discussions as we recount our adventure in Dolores Park, where we not only enjoyed the beautiful landscape, but also engaged parkgoers in vibrant conversations. We found an astonishing number of people unfamiliar with the concept of podcasts, presenting us the golden opportunity to introduce our show's mission - to bring unheard solutions to the world's problems. From voting to education and poverty, we covered an array of topics and even personally endorsed a riveting book, the Bhagavad Gita.

Remember dining at a Brazilian steakhouse, where you flip a card to signal that you're ready for more? We brought a similar concept to life in our discussions by experimenting with 'conversation starters', wearing a card on our chests to indicate the willingness to converse. We debated whether conversations should always have a goal or if they can be approached without an agenda. We also explored the possibility of conversations being a pure pleasure source, making life a tad bit more interesting.

On a more profound note, we unraveled the impact of Nietzsche on our worldviews, diving into the intriguing concept of 'crony beliefs'. We also explored Soren Kierkegaard's idea of 'conviction', how he cleverly used pseudonyms in his writings, and the role of conviction in decision-making. We used marriage as an example to discuss the balance between conviction and practicality, and even recalled the story of the mathematician Thales, who pragmatically employed his knowledge of weather patterns. So, buckle up for a thought-provoking journey as we oscillate between philosophy and practicality in decision-making.
