The Insight Scoop

Work to live, not live to work. Figuring out how you may contribute to the society might be difficult. However, understanding what usefulness means might help you fit yourself in.

Let nature take its course. What happens, happens.

If you thought nothing could top the year 2020.. Think again.. What is going on with WallStreetBets, GameStop, AMC and how does that relate to the apes and degenerates? It's all that Reddit vs hedge funds thing. This episode gives a quick summary and highlights our opinions.

DISCLAIMER: We are by no means financial advisors. We are two apes recording our thoughts using electronic machines and uploading them to someone else's computer to be distributed across the world.

Today's podcast is a chill one. Some speculations about AI and why people are not following the restrictions. How long will this COVID pandemic last? Is there anything that the government could have done better? Are we going to have to learn to live with it? Is is the apocalypse all the games and movies were warning us about? Questions like these pondered in the 53rd episode of The Insight Scoop podcast.  This quote by David Lynch illustrates it nicely: "What a heavy load Einstein must've had... f***ing morons everywhere."

In this world we have choices. A lot of them. However, sometimes the environment decides our fate.

Impulsive decisions lead to great experiences. However, not always. We talk about Albert Einstein and creativity. Does conforming and paying attention to your surroundings or related research kill creativity? Your ideas aren't really yours, are they?

Happy new year! However, don't rush to make new year's resolutions just yet. Don't overpromise. Especially to yourself.

We chat about gifting and what type of gifts are best. We look at the "New Year, New Me" concept. And chat about what we both plan to achieve over 2021. Don't forget to keep it simple and attainable!

Year in review blog post: https://www.mariusurbelis.com/posts/year-in-review-2020/

This year has been a mess, this episode is one too. However, the year is over and we are glad. Here is to what's to come. We try to reflect on the main themes of our year and other things. Stay safe, everyone!

What is the goal you are trying to achieve? Is there a better, a more optimized way of doing that? Maybe it is not worth the effort? Or maybe it is possible to put less effort into it but still get ~100% of the outcome. We also talked about business travel, COVID impact on mental health and more.

Here are our two cents on what are some pitfalls and what the future possibly holds for Artificial Intelligence. We mostly chat about GPT-3 and it's uses.
