I say "wild" a lot in this episode... probably because I was generating images of cavemen and I smell like fermented palm tree seed water. I'm a stinky garbage person. All I do is type a few descriptive words and call myself an "artist"... do I call myself an artist? I kinda just did... never mind, I take it back - you'll see why....

We're diving deep into the transformative intersection of human creativity and AI art and the great potential it holds. From the evolutionary psychology of pattern recognition to the practical applications of today's AI creative tools, we explore how platforms like Midjourney, Runway, and Suno are fundamentally changing our relationship with creative expression. I make my own trippy AI music videos for fun, and you should to. They're really just for me... it's like strumming a guitar on a bean bag or doodling in a sketchbook.

We challenge common misconceptions about AI-assisted art and examine how these tools are actually enhancing our understanding of our own creative processes. The episode culminates in a fascinating exploration of how rapid iteration between imagination and creation is creating new neural pathways for processing and expressing human experience.

Whether you're an artist, a "day job" working daydreaming doodling noodling dude like me, or curious observer, this episode offers profound insights into where creative technology is heading and what it means for human expression in the near future.

In this first Intro episode of 'What We're Missing: Why Woo Woo Works in Plain Sight', we jump right into some of life’s biggest questions: Are we living in a simulation, or is there a hidden order to everything? How much control do we truly have over our lives, and what forces shape our reality? Host Ryan cuts through the noise of modern life—from manifestation and simulation theories to mental health and ancient wisdom.

This episode explores how we might use tools like mindfulness, grounding practices, and age-old philosophies to navigate relentless daily stress and rethink what it means to find purpose in a chaotic world. Whether you’re intrigued by the intersection of science and spirituality or looking to understand why staying present feels so elusive, this episode invites you to dig deeper, question everything, and explore new perspectives with open curiosity. Discover why some “woo woo” practices may hold real meaning—and what it takes to bridge the practical with the profound.
