#33 - The Psychology of Personification (and how to use it)
Why does calling a tree "her" instead of "it" change how you treat it? In this episode, I dig into Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer, a botanist and member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, and her idea that the way language personifies nature shapes how much we care for it.Then I connect that to manifestation and prayer. If you set your intentions with "the unive

#30 Wu Wei: Effortless Action (breakdown and how to guide)
In this episode, I break down Wu Wei, the ancient Chinese concept of “non-action” or effortless action.

#29 Naval Ravikant: How To Get Rich Without Getting Lucky (tweets read aloud)
In this episode, I read through Naval Ravikant’s famous “How to Get Rich Without Getting Lucky” thread, one of the most concise collections of ideas on wealth, leverage, ownership, specific knowledge, and long-term thinking.

In this episode, I break down some of the latest developments in AI, including Grok 4.7, Meta’s new MUSE agent, and what the rise of easy-to-use AI agents could mean for the way we use the internet.

Amazon has already bloc
#27 will artificial intelligence ANNIHILATE humanity?? (The history of AI hype cycles)
In this episode, I look at the history of AI hype cycles to ask a much bigger question: are we actually on the verge of artificial intelligence transforming or even threatening humanity, or are we living through another period where expectations are running ahead of reality? I break down the major waves of AI development, from early symbolic AI and robots like Shakey, to 1980s expert systems, to t

#22 Lessons of Lucid Dreaming: Your bag isn't as deep as you think it is
How deep is your “bag,” really?In this episode, I use lucid dreaming as a window into one of the strangest features of the human mind: even when almost anything is possible, we tend to fall back on the same familiar patterns.Lucid dreams can make those patterns unusually easy to notice. Even in an environment where the normal rules of reality disappear, the brain often defaults to familiar actions
