In this episode of Stop To Think, we talk about IP. I recently finished reading a book called Against Intellectual Property by N. Stephan Kinsella. This book actually changed my stance on intellectual property. I discuss this shift in this episode of the podcast.

In this episode of Stop To Think, we talk about people competing for status. We talk about how it's a universal thing and how it often doesn't lead to actual happiness or satisfaction with life.

In this episode of Stop To Think, we pick up where we left off last week with our discussion of the post-robot world. This episode focuses on how people have multiple roles in society and that each role has different incentives. As a consumer, you want stuff to be as cheap as possible. As a producer, you want the stuff you produce to be as expensive as possible. Many people in the "working class" own a lot of the companies they're constantly calling greedy in their 401ks and pension plans. So they actually benefit from the "greed" of these companies even though they're calling it unjust.

In this episode of Stop To Think, we talk about the world that will exist after robots take over. Just kidding. More like the world that will exist as more and more jobs are replaced by robots. A lot of people think this will be bad for the world and bad for humans but in general, I think this is fear-mongering and that things will be a lot better than people expect. Historically, robots do things that humans don't want to do. This has always been good for humanity so far.

In this episode of Stop To Think, we talk about what is and what isn't a reasonable expectation for a relationship. The core, two most important expectations seem to be an expectation for loyalty and an expectation for honesty. Once you get past those two, there seems to be some wiggle room.

In this episode of Stop To Think, we talk about how you're going to want to pair up with someone who won't make you miserable. In other words, when looking for a relationship, it's often helpful to look for things that you don't want and avoid them over looking for things that you do want and trying to find them.

In this episode of Stop To Think, we talk about how high expectations can result in unhappiness in both life and your relationships. In many cases, it seems like a good idea to make sure your expectations align with reality.

In this episode of Stop To Think, we talk about what in life gets you the biggest bang for your buck. This is essentially the application of the diminishing returns principle from last episode to a few different areas of life.

In this episode of Stop To Think, we talk about diminishing returns. One should really understand the concept and make sure they're balancing their effort to return ration in their various endeavors in life.

In this episode of Stop To Think, we talk about intuition. The sense you get in your gut about things. The general rule seems to be that you should listen to your gut unless you have hard evidence to do otherwise.
