Karma is real. Be good to others. It makes for an awesome, fulfilling life... and who knows, one day, in your darkest hour, it just might save your life.

Here's my conversation with Shannon Curry, a clinical and forensic psychologist, specializing in relationships, trauma, and violence.

Some of the most brilliant people I've ever met never finished school. Yes, credentials are useful to know, but I don't define a person by their credentials. Doing so is silly, and runs the risk of missing out on some fascinating people and ideas.

It feels great to be back to running 5-6 times a week. This pic is after 12 miles. A long run with a good audiobook takes me away from the madness of the online world, and reminds me how beautiful this life is. I'm grateful for every moment I get and I'm grateful for all of you.

Recent developments in AI are both exciting and terrifying, but mostly exciting. What gives me hope is that the people I know who are working in AI are great human beings. So, I remain optimistic but vigilant, trying to give voice to many perspectives through long-form podcasts.

The idea that time is an illusion breaks my brain.

There are many weird ideas in physics, but that one... that, as Einstein said, "distinction between past, present & future is an illusion" is just too weird.

The arrow of time seems fundamental to my cognition, but maybe not?

I got to attend the Comedy Mothership and see Joe Rogan and Dave Chapelle together on stage and off, dropping wisdom about comedy & life, in this epic new place. Hanging with them & Whitney, Duncan, Tony, Ron White & other amazing humans, I felt like the luckiest guy on Earth.
