Hi Thinkers!

Our small podcast celebrates it's 3rd birthday with this episode 😊 Thanks for being with us on both sides of the mic!! This week we're reviewing a christmas ad from O2, a telecom giant, about data poverty. It seems like late capitalism bravely fights problems that are of its own making ;)

Hi Thinkers!

This week we're talking about feedback and how does its quality correlate with anonymity. Are we giving more honest feedback when we're anonymous? We use the example of video games like the lastest DragonAge Veilguard from EA and the upcoming Kingdom Come Deliverance II from the WarHorse Studios to make our point. Other than that we talk about buying contact lenses, and the phrase "have a nice day". Why does it sound so natural in France and why is it strange in CEE? Listen to find out!

Every now and then our conversation leads us into the world of emotions, and this week is a proof of it. Inspired a little by Harari we dive into the difference between happiness and excitement. Both concepts overlap significantly and it took us some effort to try and separate them. Listen also if you want to find out who Jedrek wanted to be as a teenager; during the conversation we mention the Beast Quest by Adam Blade and - as almost always - the Interstellar by Christopher Nolan ;)

Hi Thinkers!

This week we are two English teachers who... want to change the world! Masha opened a real pandora box with her comment and so we went talking about the state of the world, capitalism, how everything is business today, about the need of moderation without degrowth, about selling yourself and so on. We mention Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. What a rant in short ;)

Hi Thinkers!

Students choose AI tutors because AI does not judge. This week we're looking closer into the concept of judging and we're contrasting it with estimating. Jedrek refers to Yuval Harrari's latest interview in Your Undivided Attention podcast (Harari published a new book 'Nexus' btw.) in which the historian claims we're about to be invaded by a wave of migrants from... the Silicon Valley. AI bots are going to dominate the online world by posting, commenting and engaging with us. Why or what does it matter? We're trying to explore that.

Hi Thinkers!

This week we're trying to separate two concepts that seem to overlap a lot: talent and predispositions. If being tall is a predisposition allowing you to play hoops or volleyball, what about Tina Turner's voice: talent or predisposition? In the episode we mention Jonathan Franzen's Freedom, Carol Dweck's Mindset, Taylor Swift, Rihanna and J.D. Salinger. Please share with us your comments, opinions and illustrative examples of talent and predispositions ;)
