In this episode the discussion focuses on Will and Willpower.

-How the powerful know about it and want it turned down as low as possible in the powerless.

-The talk of egalitarianism from the powerful and how this may just be a way to keep the powerless hoping for something they, the powerful, would never want to give up.

-The differences between modern day and back in the day definitions of will and how one set is way more active and activating than the other.

All this and more!

Thanks for hangin!

This episode we go into some older (and for some reason deemed by modern society as obsolete ..hmmm) definitions of intelligence and then into Sagacity.

Then I walk through my personal initial toe dipping exploration into how we could actively engage with these definitions to aid in cultivation of intelligence powers. It's a fun time.

The Nine Definitions of Sagacity that are explored are:

1) Keen sense of perception, especially that of smell

2) Acuteness of mental discernment

3)keenness for discovery of truth

4)penetrating and judicious in the estimation of character and motives

5) Penetrating and judicious in the devising of means for accomplishment of ends

6) Shrewd; Shrewdness; Penetration

7) Keenness and capacity for investigation and discovery

8) Keenness and soundness of judgment in the estimation of persons and conditions

9) Keenness and soundness in the adaptation of means to ends

How would you engage with these evocative definitions?

Hey everybody,

I've been fortunate enough to narrate and produce the audiobook versions of both volumes of Ingo Swann's Secrets of Power.

In this episode we discuss the deliciously dense chapter 20 and specifically the "definitions" of intelligence. Notice the quotation marks because as it turns out, as Ingo deftly displays, we don't have a solid foundational definition for it. This is discussed in the episode as well as:

-Evocative intelligence

-the state of intelligence using Tiktok as an example

-how humanity uses intelligence as one of its defining attributes and yet hasn't done much of anything to universally amp it up across the species

-IQ tests and a personal story

All this and more!
