- 79: The Reasoning For Everyday Episodes, And More Messages
Why do we keep up a rhythm? What does it say about who we are, our consistency levels, or our ability to respond to the world at large? It is a message of sorts. In this episode, I discuss:
- why the show goes up every day
- how I have switch to 128 kbps instead of 320 kbps output
- a little bit about content from Homo Deus on keeping death away
- linear versus networking ways of communicating
- tone-based communication
We can always throw variety into the world that we see. Should it always be structured and regular? Onward~
12 min - 78: Music I Have Liked, Including Trance, Beats, And Vocals
Music is a big part of the world. Alex from episode 48 and Gary from episode 3 are two individuals who are into making music. They both get into the technicals, and enjoy the creativity. I like some music too, and in this episode, I discuss:
- types of music I have liked over time
- trance and music with melody or beats
- a lyric from a Jay-Z song that I break down into parts
- vocal music I have enjoyed in years, along with its motivational aspects
Music is a big part of the world, through Spotify, Google Play, iTunes, Pandora, and so on. All of these services bring tunes that give people feelings and energy they use. To more creativity.
10 min - 77: Plague, Famine, War, And Beginning Homo Deus
77 in the place to be. I have started reading Homo Deus by Yuval Harari. It’s the sequel to Sapiens, which was one of the top books of the past few years in the category of humankind’s progress over time. This one includes material from that book, and has updated content, and also discusses the future. In this episode I discuss:
- the introduction to this book, and how it is laid out
- plague like Black Death sweeping through nations
- famine no longer being the issue in relation to food levels
- the lack of war and the impacts it has on society
I am looking forward to flowing right through this book, and understanding more about some of the linkages between happenings over time. To more knowledge, and continuing the story.
17 min - 76: Aligning With Similar Energy Individuals, Chocolate, And Talk Show Games
Insight and examples are what I bring to the table here. Most of how I communicate is through concepts. This episode includes Alex’s jingle as the intro and outro again. I might make that the regular thing. In episode 76 of the show, I discuss:
- aligning with individual who have a similar energy to you, and who you can relate with or believe in
- types of chocolate I have enjoyed eating or drinking
- talk show games and their routine nature of a sounded intro and comfortable elements
- weekly cycles that society rolls through, and “hacking culture”
- Katja’s song’s Ride The Wave and Come Thru
You have to link the parts of your life if you want to reach new levels. There are a lot of details to the networks of our thoughts and actions. Glad to have you following along the story I’m narrating. If you like the show, let others know it~
13 min - 75: My Mind Map Of Different Mind Mapping Examples
How did we get to 75? Probably 25 * 3. We are here at the 75th episode, and over half of this episode is about my mind map that I made in 2009. In it, I discuss:
- the content in the mind map that I made on MindMeister
- how you can brainstorm using one of your own
- vocabulary word groups and word roots being drawn out
- ways to organize your day or year in mind map form
- concepts about blockchain and its connection to the universe
There is a lot of cool content in this one. You can check out the mind map from the link at the beginning, and I’m glad to have you listening. Feel free to let others know about the show, and we’ll see you on the next one.
16 min - 74: Going Over My Interview With Dr. Sapolsky On Behave
Hey all and welcome to episode 74. This one is on my text interview with Dr. Sapolsky on his book Behave that I’ve been talking about. It is 8 questions instead of my usual 5, and that’s because I got so into the material through reading and notes. In this episode, I discuss:
- marketing and how it relates to the brain development of the viewer
- being generous in an individualistic culture
- how someone can adapt to their environment that doesn’t suit them
- efficient ways to manage executive decision-making ability that you have
It was great to have this dialog with Dr. Sapolsky, and his answers were informative to me. The little nuances of answers in response to how I asked the question also teach me a lot about what I was missing or didn’t pay enough attention to.
Onward we go~
11 min - 73: Sapiens, Homo Deus, Designing Reality, And Book Talk
Do I get books on hold from the local library? You know it. I continue to lean in the science/nonfiction section, and got some books lately for potential reading or analyzing. In this episode, I discuss:
- Harari and his books Sapiens and Homo Deus
- things about the books that make me more likely to read them
- Designing Reality and how it has some new tech in it
- what I look for in books before I dive in
I throw in some concepts and talk at the end of the episode, and always continue the trend. As we move through the 70s, in terms of episodes, I see good smoothness. Only do what fits you, and your world becomes more suitable.
14 min - 72: Jane Lawton Moore | Grayson Power Plant Expansion And Community Organizing
We are back in the place with episode 72 of the show, and on this one we also have a guest. Our guest is Jane, and there is a lot of material described on this episode, mostly about the proposed expansion of the Grayson power plant in Glendale. Included is discussion about:
- why the Grayson power plant expansion plan in Glendale should be paused in search of alternatives
- the impacts that expansion can have on local air quality
- how a coalition formed to oppose the plan
- local power plant information and history regarding costs and profits
- getting involved in your local city council
- some discussion on life and books in the category of child development
In relation to the Grayson power plant issue, you can either check out the website Jane had mentioned (stopgrayson.com), take part in the City Council meeting January 23rd at Glendale City Hall at 6 PM wearing a green shirt(if you are local), or check out the Facebook group. To more great material~
49 min - 71: Felipe Findley | Production Value In The Economy Of Automation
We roll back in here with guest Felipe. He is the 14th guest on the show, and makes his way to episode 71. We talked about many topics on this episode, and it was a cool time in Koreatown. Discussed included:
- the elements that bring value of production to an economy
- how those elements can be manipulated by those running the system
- the type of activism that Felipe leans toward
- little interludes about blockchain and crypto I threw in
- concepts about monetary bubbles and how they can be prepared for
- 2018 goals that Felipe as well as I have
Great episode to have, and Felipe is a solid individual. This is another one of the longer ones, but maybe this will be the new length for episodes. There is no predictability to the show~. On we go.
20 min - 70: Har Ghobind Khorana Google Doodle, Researchers, And Many Tangents
This episode was an extended one. Who knows if the new form of the show will be extended. It’s always different on here. Topics were:
- Har Ghobind Khorana being the Google Doodle for his biochemical research
- why I like scientists and people who focus on a niche future field
- continuing momentum before it disappears, with a Youtuber example
- how words represent certain time frames or generations of people
So many tangents of value in this episode. With great content like this episode, there can only be nice things to come. 70~
