Upgrade Thought
by Coop
What makes this show unique is that I am just a regular person with an untamed curiosity, as you probably are if you are listening to this. Paradoxically, by not being an expert, billionaire, genius philosopher, or beloved comedian, I believe that this show is even more valuable than those put together by members of the top .01%. Naturally, my questions are catered towards everyday people like myself looking to learn more about a wide variety of topics. Expect to extract valuable information while hearing great stories, perspectives, and maybe even some jokes along the way too. Enjoy the show!
