About this Episode

I've had this relentless curiosity driving me towards unconventional living experiments, and I've had a concern for 'The Predicament'.

And I've been stuck regarding both of those things for a long time.

I'm not stuck anymore.

The convergence of those two interests and becoming unstuck is what I want to talk about.

Anti-Defeatist | 023

Our culture suffers from an impoverished imagination of possible futures. People assume that if you don't believe in Star Trek then you are a doomer. This is dumb. Allow me to clarify.

piratecaptainERE | 022

Bryan aka Jin+Guice runs his life so he can live aligned with his values and desires: pursuing curiosity, cooking, playing music, dumpster diving, and founding a record label that makes records for free to the artist with possibility of making money on the back end. He talks with me about freedom, semiERE, how to do what you want, optimizing for fucking around, and a theoretical cost of living of "idk, bike tubes I guess".

How to live like you're going to die, how to do only what you want to do, intuitive organization and planning, relationship advice, bushcrafting, academic and startup life, Epicurean Dinners, and much more.
