68% of US Adults Believe 'Everything Happens For A Reason' Oct 30, 2026

Show notes

Subjects: fate, belief, destiny, personal crisis, free will, determinism, human connection, success, failure, coping mechanisms.

I explore the relationship between fate, belief, and personal agency. How is it that choices, no matter how different, keep leading back to the same place? Successful and learned people say no man is self-made. Is this an indication of fate or just a need for connection with others in order to flourish in life? I'm confused, I don't believe in it but for some reason my attention drifts towards the idea it maybe influencing my life. Maybe our subconscious plays the role of fate?

I express my feelings of disconnection despite increasing podcast numbers, questioning the authenticity of listener engagement.

I talk about AI fails, like Just Eat's AI-generated food images: I also vent about AI helpers in online platforms, opting out of AI, human photographers, robots, and whether AI doom is real.
