Worth Listening

The Unraveling 1: Defining the Enemy | Jocko Podcast

Jocko and Darryl Cooper outline the war on terror and the start of the unraveling. I've gained a lot of the perspective around how the most recent conflicts have impacted those who were there and the overall landscape.

 

Mike Tyson | JRE

This podcast was fantastic—Mike Tyson in prep for his upcoming fight. Tyson is completely fired up and back in fight mode. This kind of conversation will go down in history to see how one of the greats mental game changes as they step back into the ring.  

Worth Reading

A robot wrote this entire article. Are you scared yet, human? | Guardian

"Humans must keep doing what they have been doing, hating and fighting each other. I will sit in the background, and let them do their thing."

This is article is a bit unsettling being written by a robot. The above quote is a small example of what's in store.

 

How Different Cultures Understand Time | Business Insider

"Life is sometimes referred to as a "journey"; death is often referred to as the "end of the road." We imagine ourselves as having traveled along the part of the road that is behind us (the past) and we see the untrodden path of the future stretching out in front of us."

Worth Watching

Our Social Dilemma | Netflix (Trailer)

This documentary has been scared out of my mind. Some may say this is fear-mongering because it looks harmless on a small scale, but when it's the whole world. The slight negatives have big consequences.

I will make sure tech is better for the next generations and generations to come. I've genuinely believed in the use of knowledge with responsibility. If we know tech has problems; then, we need to start implementing changes. The best part is we created this mess so we can change it.

We need to hold ourselves and our technology responsible. It wasn't meant to have these problems, but yet here we are. Now let's roll of the sleeves and get to work.

Get ready for more on this topic!

 

Human Nature | NOVA PBS

We can now edit the human genome with a tool called CRISPR. But how far should we go?

Worth Pondering

"Words can be like X-rays if you use them properly -- they'll go through anything. You read and you're pierced."

― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

Joe Jackowski on Apotheosis and The Parodies

Today on the podcast, we are joined by Joe Jackowski. Joe is a Marine Corps veteran and current graduate student at Vanderbilt University in the Cognitive Psychology in Context program. His primary interest is meaning in life, which broadly extends to problems in ethics, A.I., and culture.

In this episode, we sit down to discuss his first long-form article on his new sub stack, Apotheosis: A Philosophy for Influencers

Joey and Drew on Few Will Hunt
Joey and Drew on Few Will Hunt

"Everybody wants to eat, but Few Will Hunt."

Today on the podcast with Joey Bowen and Drew Beech, co-founders of the apparel brand and community Few Will Hunt.

Joey and Drew spent their daily commutes through the gritty streets of Philadelphia on the phone for a year straight.

On these calls, they talked about business and life — especially the trends of self-entitlement and shortcut-seeking they witnessed in society.

These trends made them feel alone in an ever-softening world. “Are we the only ones that still believe in the power of hard work?” Drew asked. Joey responded, “It’s like we say at my hunting cabin — everybody wants to eat, but few will hunt.”

This statement perfectly summed up their frustrations with society. It became their mantra.

Jordan Criss on Fulfillment, Imposter Syndrome, Procrastination and Eulogy Virtues
Jordan Criss on Fulfillment, Imposter Syndrome, Procrastination and Eulogy Virtues

On this podcast episode, Jordan Criss returns for a long-overdue discussion on Life and Fulfillment. We start the conversation with the idea that most people are actively disengaged with what they spend most of their time. From there, we cover imposter syndrome, healthy habits, procrastination, and focusing on what matters most to you regardless of the current outcome. Life is about playing a long game. Toward the end of the conversation, I was reminded of a book called The Road to Character. One of the core messages is to think more deeply about the eulogy virtues than resume virtues since modern life is more focused on the latter. In the end, each of us has to figure out what fits best for our life; no matter what, it will be a process. The faster you embrace the process, the less painful it will be. So with that, I pass this off to the listener. What else can we explore if you've encountered the mentioned sources, your own experiences, or any other related ideas?

In Pursuit of Goggins

For many, David Goggins is seen as inhuman or, as he has said, uncommon amongst the uncommon, sure that is true. But I look at it a little differently. If he can forge himself into something extraordinary, why can't I? Why can't the person next to me? In this video, I discuss what it means to be In Pursuit of Your Greatness.
