Episode 96 – What’s your Ikigai?

Show Notes  Ben teaches about the dozens of conspiracy theories surrounding “the hum”. Josh tells the story of how ChatGPT defeated a robot-filtering gate to accomplish its task. The hosts give a mostly spoiler-free review of ‘Dungeons and Dragons Honor Among Thieves’ but set in the context of bad parenting decisions. Finally, they examine the Japanese concept of “ikigai” (life’s purpose).  Intro & Follow-up (0-27:09) Clinically Valid Online hearing test (!)  Baby wears glasses, sees parents for first time  Ingenious way to determine glasses without a prescription  Bryan Cranston trying to escape “the hum” in the X-Files S6E2 (1998)  “Garth.
