In this episode, we dive into Santiago Duran Mejia’s article, where he challenges five common myths about parenting and technology, drawing from his personal experience raising his son in a digitally connected world.

Duran argues that technology and media are not inherently harmful to children; rather, their impact depends on parental guidance and active involvement. Through personal anecdotes, he illustrates how early and mindful exposure to technology can actually enhance learning, communication, and skill development, as long as parents set clear values and encourage critical thinking.

Instead of strict control, the conversation explores the importance of teaching children to navigate technology with purpose, turning potentially passive tools into opportunities for creativity and growth.

In this episode, we discuss Santiago Duran’s op-ed on the true motivations behind corporate cultural initiatives and changes. While companies often present these shifts as value-driven, the article argues that they are more frequently responses to external pressures, economic realities, and the need for self-preservation.

We explore how factors such as social movements like #MeToo and Black Lives Matter, technological advancements, and the pandemic have forced organizations to adapt, sometimes out of necessity rather than genuine commitment.

Finally, we reflect on the authenticity and real impact of these transformations, questioning whether they lead to meaningful progress or are merely tactical responses to maintain competitiveness.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into Santiago Duran’s article, Fueling the Conspiracy: Ignorance, Misinformation, and Emotion in the AI Era, exploring how conspiracy theories and fake news persist by exploiting cognitive vulnerabilities.

We break down the logical fallacies often used to spread misinformation—such as appeals to ignorance, authority, emotion, and false causation—and examine their role in shaping narratives around major topics like U.S. election fraud, COVID-19 vaccine myths, and generative AI.

Duran argues that recognizing these tactics is essential to counteracting their influence, emphasizing the need to cultivate critical thinking in today’s digital landscape. This discussion is enriched by insights from The Intelligence Trap by David Robson, along with contemporary examples of misinformation and reliable fact-checking sources.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into an article by Santiago Duran, where he explores the therapeutic connection between contemporary oracles—such as the I Ching and Tarot—and the Jungian concept of synchronicity: the meaningful coincidence of events without an apparent causal link.

We discuss how interpreting oracle symbols activates the unconscious mind, sparking deep insights and revealing emotions. Drawing parallels to psychoanalytic catharsis and sensory theatrical experiences, the conversation explores how oracles can facilitate emotional release and self-awareness, beyond their traditional association with fortune-telling.

Rather than seeing them as mystical tools, this episode presents oracles as valuable instruments for personal and interpersonal introspection, offering a fresh perspective on their psychological and therapeutic significance.

In this episode, we dive into the ongoing debate about the value of traditional higher education in an era shaped by artificial intelligence and online learning. Inspired by my own experience as a parent, this conversation explores key insights from the article To College or Not to College.

We discuss alternative learning paths such as bootcamps and open education platforms, weighing them against the enduring benefits of a university degree—networking opportunities, credentials, and holistic development. The episode also examines industry-specific requirements where formal education remains essential, alongside economic factors like tuition costs.

Ultimately, we reflect on the importance of adaptability and acquiring relevant skills through diverse educational routes. We also highlight alternative sources that shed light on the expanding landscape of non-traditional learning options.
