The Oscars, Spiderman and Euphoria (#173)

In today's episode, I am joined by returning friend and guest Jordan Criss, and as always, we have a great conversation centered around Jordan's interests, film, and TV. Of course, that means it's Oscar season, so we dive into the current controversy around the Oscars. Mainly with Spider-Man No Way Home, not having as many awards as one might expect when it garners over $1 billion at the theaters. From there we highlight films we are looking forward to this year. We finally closed discussing our thoughts on the controversy around Euphoria.

Creative Risk Taking, Information Overload, Meaning, and Find Your Frontier

I'm joined by returning guests and friend Joe Jackowski in today's episode. We go deep on all of the psychological and philosophical ideas Joe has explored. We discuss the role consciousness and identity play in forming society, where society may be heading, and what we can do to steer this society in the right direction.
