EP#64 - Universal Basic Income and Andrew Yang

from Twenty Somethings · host Sound Pollination

On this week's episode, Keith and Grant break down some discrepancies within the economic theory known as Universal Basic Income. This theory has gained a lot of traction as of late in the national media, due to the presence of an unlikely Presidential Candidate in Andrew Yang. Are we able to pay for that? Won't people work less? Why should the rich get it? Why not just improve current welfare programs? All of these questions are covered in a great conversation centered around trying to improve the bottom line of society. The headlines were quite ridiculous this week. Among other things discussed, a Japanese hotel chain apologizes for allowing hackers to peep on guests through bedside robots, and you will go to jail for trick or treating at the age of 12 in some states. Grant agrees with that one. Go figure. -- IG: @TwentySomethings_Podcast Twitter: @Podcast20Sum SoundPollination.com Patreon (Early Access) YouTube Stream Page Twitch Stream Channel

Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking, and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive.Now, in this book, the first of its kind written by a scientific expert, Professor Matthew Walker explores twenty years of cutting-edge research to solve the mystery of why sleep matters. Looking at creatures from across the animal kingdom as well as major human studies, Why We Sleep delves in to everything from what really happens during REM sleep to how caffeine and alcohol affect sleep and why our sleep patterns Explicit Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World Free Education Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It's a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. Deep work will make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship. In short, deep work is like a super power in our increasingly competitive twenty-first century economy. And yet, most people have lost the ability to go deep-spending their days instead in a frantic blur of e-mail and social media, not even realizing there's a better way.In DEEP WORK, author and professor Cal Newport flips the narrative on impact in a connected age. Instead of arguing distraction is bad, he instead celebrates the power of its opposite.

He then presents a rigorous training regimen, presented as a series of fo Explicit
