Episode 16: Know Yourself First | K.G.I. Podcast

from K.G.I. — Khrestinin General Intelligence · host Kirill Khrestinin

When Socrates said "know yourself" 2,500 years ago, what did he actually mean? Modern self-help culture has turned that phrase into something Socrates would not recognize — an obsession with the body, with hedonistic surfaces, with the trendy interpretation of the day. Real self-knowledge is harder. It requires confronting the vices you use to numb yourself, the lies you've stopped noticing, the fragmentation you carry without naming. In this episode I talk about what I had to admit to myself before I could begin to change, why feeding your unexamined self into artificial intelligence only returns a more sophisticated version of your own lie, and why a moral core has to be earned before it can hold.My book Mythos: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GX2ZN1TKMy Blog www.kirillkhrestinin.com
