Thinking Out Loud in English

Hi Thinkers!

Practice your critical thining skills with us! (+ English of course) - get in touch at https://studiomnentals.com

This week, we invite you to explore with us the complex issueof having little to say. What lies beneath this silence? Is it a lack of confidence, convictions, or worldview? Why do sensible individuals tend to grow quieter with age? How should you respond to a child who wants to drop out ofschool? How can you convey the importance of education? How to find easy answers to complex problems? And if you choose to remain silent, does it signify wisdom, as you avoid saying something foolish, or does it reveal spinelessness, as you are unsure of your own thoughts?

Hi Thinkers!

Hi Thinkers!

Practice speaking and debating in English at studiomentals.com

This week we're two English teachers who love stationary. Or do we?

And later, in the Thinking Out Loud Proper we discuss the difference between a politician and a bureaucrat. Is Dalai Lama a politician? Surely not a bureaucrat, right? Are billionaires like Bill Gates or Elon Musk politicians? They have certain political power after all... is Joe Rogan one? Join us for a one-of-a-kind podcast experience, where the hosts are just like you, not a bit smarter ;)

Hello, Thinkers!

Have you ever wondered when a writer officially becomes an author? In this episode, Masha and I delve into this intriguing question inspired by K.M. Weiland from HelpingWritersBecome Authors.com . Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that will challenge your mind and expand your perspective.

We discuss renowned authors like J.K. Rowling (and her alter-ego Robert Galbraith), Stephen King, and even touch on the fascinating topic of AI-generated music, including AI singing Nirvana's songs. Is AI truly creating something new, or just remixing existing content? Are we on the brink of a semantic meltdown?

Additionally, we explore the cultural and personal implications of changing your name after marriage, all while aiming to nourish your brain cells with stimulating insights.

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!

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 ;)
