I fucked up at work. For the first time ever, I record a podcast while driving! I needed to vent about the mistakes I've made on my work project, so I shared some thoughts and feelings I've been having all day about my fuck up. Hopefully I stay employed long enough to make up for them and do better...

Free will is a terribly limiting belief! In this long two part episode, I talk about how free will doesn't make sense in terms of physics, biology, psychology, etc. Then I posit a better way to think about sentience, decision making, agency, willpower, accountability, and so on.

My SO and I talk about the MCU! We discuss Moon Knight, Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, as well as a few other movies and shows. Is Marvel failing from their own success?

Today, I vent about my experiences trying to write my first short stories! How do you actually "show don't tell"?? How do you show the perspective of things that most people cannot relate with or even realize have interesting inner lives? Iunno, but allow me to share some of my frustrations...

I further critique the modern propaganda about how our prehistoric ancestors lived miserable lives. I then go into some of my initial thoughts on Lex Fridman's podcast with Sara Walker and Lee Cronin: https://youtu.be/SFxIazwNP_0

Today I discuss hot takes on hot topics, sharing some thoughts on Elon buying Twitter, the superficiality of free speech, and the problems with Web3.

Just venting about my experiences with trying to buy my first car. I share my research into the Ford Fusion Hybrid, my struggles with financing, and my realization of how credit lines work. America is a fckn scam.

I dive into contentious topics around how being moderate and sticking to the 'center' of the left/right political compass is actually itself very right wing. I source MLK, the history of politics in the West, and the history of 'civilization' to show how our entire society is pretty far right despite our desires for personal freedom. This was largely inspired by this video https://youtu.be/9TYK9Mu_dzA among many others.

I rant about Moon Knight for an hour!! I was enjoying the first 2 episodes, but this third episode really threw me off and got me concerned about the future of the MCU.

Today, I share my learnings from reading another section of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit and draw connections with his breakdown of speculative thinking with the indigenous spiritualism that was able to communicate great wisdoms over many generations.
