Life consists of what happens to us and how we respond, but how does this impact us over time? What is our relationship with control? How do we cope with the stuff we can't control? We discuss this and more on today's episode.
We talk about information. How do you get it? How do you process it? How does it influence your thoughts, words and actions? What informs this complicated exchange??
This is our most politically opinionated episode yet but we don't care what you believe, as long as you actively seek to learn and think for yourself!
Morgan discovered he has Aphantasia so we discuss that. It's more interesting than it sounds. We delve into the broader aspects of perception and how difficult it can be to understand the experience of another person.
Intro music by Ary Warnaar.

What does it mean to be truly honest with others? What does it mean to be honest with yourself? Listen to this week's episode to find out. Authors and artists discussed (for easy searching): Don Delillo Rachel Kushner Tom Sachs Jane Austen Cormac McCarthy Henry James Virginia Woolfe Intro music by Ary Warnaar.
Today we talk about creative inspiration— how to find it, how to avoid blockages, and more. We also dispel some of the myths surrounding artistic inspiration, why it's OK to do things you're bad at, and why your audience matters less than the enjoyment you get from a thing. Lastly, we discover that we had access to a goddamn effects soundboard this entire time. Intro music by Ary Warnaar.
You'll have to be patient to get to the core topic of this episode, because we go on a solid 30-minute tangent on man's domination of nature and technology as weaponry. Never mind all that though. It was a fun episode. Intro music composed by Ary Warnaar.
We asked you what you want to learn this year. We discussed the difference between learning physical and emotional skills, as well as where they overlap. This one is chock full of drawn-out metaphors— are they corny? Are they wise? You be the judge. Intro music by Ary Warnaar.
This is our first episode of 2020, and not gonna lie, it's a bit of a downer for the first 16 mins or so. We do a deep dive into the mental health of aging parents and all the fun things that are accompanied by that before we swerve hard into much funner topics like walking, which is the best future dystopia, and Sudafed. It's a wild ride, join us.
There are many sides to perspective. It's all a matter of how you look at it.
