Episode 77 – New Format
Overview
Our talk starts with a great Facebook post about what makes high IQ people different from others. The most common element is openness to new experiences and knowledge.
for some reason, this leads to a discussion of advertising and how it affects people and uses psychology to control them. This is an off shoot to the zombiefied world we live in.
Our music discussion is about rock n roll being dead. This is from a conversation at the Sebastian Bach concert that Stephen attended.
Alan recently attended the online WIRED sessions that talk about the future of our world. More specifically, they focus on new tech and Alan is excited about our future health improvements. Our future could exists not only without covid, but things like malaria.
We’ve seen The Eternals movie and discuss it – so spoiler alerts. There is some talk of the future projects – including Spider-man, She Hulk, and Moon Knight.
We also are trying to add these each week:
Investing update
Raspberry pi update

Our book/music/movie picks
https://lorainpalace.showare.com/eventperformances.asp?evt=51
and a trivia question:
What heavy metal hair band was the precursor to the Trans-Siberrian Orchestra.

[00:00:21] Alan: I did my kind book talk last night for my local Cleveland area mentor group.
And because I was talking about kind of books. I went and looking to see what was available in zoom ish format. And I found a bat cave.
[00:00:31] Stephen: So I celebrate how’d that go. I listened to part of it actually went
[00:00:37] Alan: very well. It we had maybe 14 participants. I think I had thrown a little bit of publicity out there and not only for our local group or the local mentor groups within Ohio and back in Chicago, my old stomping grounds.
And yet, one of the reasons that we do this wonderful podcast is we’re still underground. There’s all kinds of deep culture that just isn’t mainstream. So I wasn’t announcing, Hey, here’s some Superbowl highlights. I was talking about guidebooks. For the vast majority of people, they’re like, wow, I like those movies.
And I thought that maybe it was, I was talking about, Hey, this will give you the backstory for all those kinds of movies that are setting box office records, that we get more people. And yet it isn’t only about the topic. It’s also, everybody has so much things, so many things that they have going on now that in order to break through their habits of, oh no, that’s when I watch wheel of fortune and jeopardy.
That’s what I, cause it really was right at seven o’clock that’s when I’m sitting down to dinner, I’m taking the dog for a walk.
