Skin in the Love
One who takes no risks in love is one who never knows it. Image homage to Nassim Taleb. Music by Pogo - "One Day With You"
-
C-PTSD: I didn't know.
This content is not intended as psychotherapeutic advice. I'm accustomed to making radical changes of mind, based on discovery of new information. I'm not so accustomed to those discoveries being... myself. The personal onion gets peeled back a little in a yet another unplanned, unscripted...
-
Missing from Plain Sight
This episode showcases two high-profile examples of the obviously missing, including what's obviously missing from the missions of the world's most popular philanthropist. When you examine your surroundings with an eye for what is not seen, first you will see negative space. Combine that with...
-
The Strange Disappearance of James Taggart
Praise of mega-corporations might still be too abundant.
-
The Powerhouse and the Pasture {SPOILERS, see description}
My anticipation of an upcoming meeting reminded me a passage from Atlas Shrugged. I relate deeply to the sanctity conveyed in the scene of the novel. Here I share a couple excerpts with you. Deep in the background is Hans Zimmer's Time.
-
The Sea that Greeted Zeno
A brief interlude, if you will, on embracing life as an adventure.
-
Look forward—the way back will take care of itself.
The most-quoted line from the 1997 movie GATTACA, "I never saved anything for the swim back," is poignant for our time. There are times when it is NOT prudent to save. Years have passed since I decided to live on my terms. I realized that life might run out before I started living it. The time…

In Search of THE WAY, in a Fragmented Landscape
We're quick to avoid tough conversations... I start with a question. Roughly: How should we decide whether to pursue difficult conversations with present people, or to pursue our values with a (hypothetical) persons who are better dispositioned? In a time when common understanding is sufficiently...

Life is non-linear.
--Have video games (among other factors) trained many of us to expect smooth journeys and direct results? Are we overly dependent on the implicit idea that life is like an algebraic function? --On that note, many seem upset--as if, if they follow the formula but do not succeed, there must…

Introducing "Landscape" - Is online dating built for long-term relationships?
Are we being trained to not try hard at mating? Do platforms like Tinder encourage gamification and attention seeking that out-compete genuine communication? If so, then perhaps the dating "landscape" is not conducive to widespread mating success. The landscape can only support what it can…

What can Jordan Peterson's explanation of Jesus, as the meta-hero, tell us about the Antichrist?
As the direction of the podcast begins to take shape, I deliver my most challenging message yet. Music by Max Richter
-
Coining a logical fallacy? Enter: Reductio ad nihilism
I renew my attempts to identify barriers to conversation and uncover another problem-within-a-problem: the propensity to label as "nihilistic," sound arguments for the removal of a system, merely because such removal would be drastic. Demand for justice, equality and freedom should not yield to...
-
Escaping Irrelevance: My accidental retreat from the raging information river
I have been asserting that to stop exposing oneself to "the news" would reveal just how irrelevant "the news" is. What bearing is there on your life if C0sby is acquitted? Stepping out of the stream gives one time to observe the stream instead of the water (and driftwood). Music by Pogo.
-
Sexual Pleasure as an Evolutionary Force
A moment of insightful questions led me to quick and astounding answers. Why are our bodies designed for pleasure in sex? What deep signals do such pleasures send? Are there positive character traits that correlate strongly with people who have great sex, thus the signals? I came away from these...
-
Introduction to Episode 14
I felt that the upcoming episode needed a bit more preface, in order to let the listener know what they are settling in for in such a long piece.
-
Bag holding is not "investing for the long run."
Say it one thousand times, then say it again: "I am under no obligation to be a bag holder for hedge funds, investment banks, portfolio managers, nor anyone else." Here we take a quick look at the illogic of being a "long-term investor," who thereby rides market downturns unnecessarily, and often...

DARK is a cinematic masterpiece; never believe anything else.
Do we deserve art this good? I questioned myself, in fact, because when I found myself checking my phone, I felt guilty for not having my attention riveted to the screen. DARK is a show about conviction and change, bravery and acceptance, and the absolute compulsion and gravity that is love.…

Lying as a Way of Lunchmoney
We find interesting and subtle ways to lie... mostly to ourselves. Referenced topics: Alexandra York: https://www.amazon.com/Alexandra-York/e/B000APKMZI%3Fref=dbsamngrwtscns_share Keynes: https://monetary-metals.com/keynes-was-a-vicious-bastard-report-17-mar/

MOZART IN THE JUNGLE - Podcasting for no audience
**Minor plot spoilers** I tried to do brief justice to the immense and highly relevant MOZART IN THE JUNGLE, season 4. It is a season that left many fans dissatisfied. Is that because it was TV for no audience? Did the director have her own dance (for no audience) to perform? You can support...

Circling around to Gamestop, silver, and sense making
The Gamestop stock saga continues. There is no easy way to be informed about this issue, an issue which bears the potential to blow "the system" sky high. Why do I say that? The reddit-silver reporting is a growing, month-long fiction. To support work like this, please visit Patreon. Music by…

How to perpetuate racism
The problem with qualifying people according to their race, in any non-anthropological discussion, is that it's racist--ascribing characterological traits on the basis of genotype. Here, I point out some glaring errors in our common language which serve to structure our thoughts toward racialism....

Fiddlers on the Roof - On forgetting why we're up there
I discuss the plot of "Fiddler on the Roof" (1971) and a little about why the movie defines our era. Not only does it tell a story of what had already happened, but perhaps shed light on the progressive departure from tradition which would follow. Music (in this case, the inspiration for the…

The THEY LIVE fight scene: Contradictory information as threat
In which I discuss metaphor and meaning around our common reactions to information that contradicts our views of reality.

The Man Who Predicts Super Bowls
In this episode I discuss a life-changing moment, thanks to YouTube, and the hero I discovered, who's spent years trying to spread controversial knowledge. Oh, yeah, and he predicts sports championships. The subject of this episode can be further witnessed at (the content therein is not for the...

Commercial condolences, buying relational values
Marketing evolved from psychological manipulation, to data-driven intrusiveness. Now, imagine a future in which large corporations sell (replace) the values we currently seek from personal relationships and community.
-
When the reports don't match the facts
A discussion of how MSM is falsely reporting on events I was witnessing in real time. It's an invitation to reconsider our informational landscapes. The reports that the r/wallstreetbets forum is targeting short sellers in the silver market are fictitious, and the implications might be far-reaching.

Awareness, what matters, sourcing sanity, & a return to conversation
This was my first attempt to discuss an important set of related ideas, for public consumption, and doing so "from the hip." If we truly "outsource our sanity," then what would be an appropriate structure for doing so? I don't go to full lengths in suggesting solutions, but I offer some analysis…
