Tiny Houses - Are They Sustainable?

Thinking clearly — alone and together.

Engineer and first-ascent mountaineer Daniel Stih examines complex problems where the obvious or commonly accepted answer may not be the right one.

Solo episodes explore thinking tools and perspectives designed to help you gain clarity when you're stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to proceed.

Guest episodes are conversations as research — investigations into how thoughtful people approach difficult questions and navigate uncertainty.

The goal is not to persuade or debate. It's to examine assumptions, surface hidden constraints, and understand how reasoning works when easy answers fail.

Each episode begins with a simple question:
What problem are we actually trying to solve?

Across science, health, technology, and society, the aim is not to tell you what to think —  to show how clear thinking reveals better solutions.
