85. The Ultimate Answers to Everything - Noam Kostuki

85. The Ultimate Answers to Everything - Noam Kostuki

Noam Kostuki is one of the most fascinating humans on the planet. He is a Ted speaker, successful author, coach and runs one of the top-rated restaurants in Costa Rica.

Noam is a deep thinker and observer of life and lives for the moment whilst transcending meaningless baggage that gets in the way of the true self. An endless experimenter he has lived several lives over and enjoys reinventing himself and whatever he is doing in the name of curiosity and adventure.

This is possibly the most thought-provoking and life-changing piece of audio I might ever create. It profoundly impacted me and several people who listened to this prior to release so I am confident you will enjoy it too.

Be prepared to reconsider:

  • What the point of life is
  • What success really means
  • What are the weird preconceptions you have that are dictating your life and if you really need them.

84. Existential Risks - Jaan Tallinn, CoFounder Skype, Kazaa

84. Existential Risks - Jaan Tallinn, CoFounder Skype, Kazaa

Meet Jaan Tallinn – an Estonian hacker, physicist, entrepreneur, philanthropist and investor, who is known for being the co-founder of Kazaa, a file-sharing platform, and his participation in the development of Skype that took communication to a whole new level.

Since then, he has co-founded many more companies, been an advisor to the President of Estonia and focused heavily on effective altruism and mitigating existential risks from AI.


Insights

  • How programming nourishes the cognitive abilities.
  • The drastic contrast in gaming about twenty to thirty years ago and gaming today.
  • Why programming and other tech-related skills were more valued or exciting in the past.
  • How Kazaa and Skype became successful – luck and effort combined.
  • We are the dominant species on Earth for being the best planners on Earth.
  • The reason why species have gone extinct is that we are modifying the environment to suit us and our needs while making it uninhabitable for them. Superhuman AI may do the same to us.
  • How creating machines that are better planners than us can threaten our dominance on Earth.
  • Incorporating our idea of a good future in those machines or aligning their ideas with ours can help combat this issue.
  • Unpredictability, once introduced into AI, can pose a huge threat to the human race.

83. Driving Policy Change and Personal Change - Jessica Templeton, Director LSE 100

83. Driving Policy Change and Personal Change - Jessica Templeton, Director LSE 100

Jessica Templeton is a political scientist and award-winning educator who is the Director of the LSE 100 course.

With expertise in global environmental politics and regulation of hazardous chemicals, Jessica is also a writer, editor and team leader for the Earth Negotiations Bulletin, a nonpartisan publication of the International Institute for Sustainable Development that analyses multilateral environmental negotiations conducted under the auspices of the United Nations.

I met Jessica at a fascinating AI conference and simply had a lot of fun talking to her. It was a delight to continue our conversation and find lot's of common ground as well as learn about her work in political science and policymaking. A really topical conversation for those interested in how political decisions are made and what we can do to influence them. 

Insights

  • The importance of outdoor activities in developing a connection with the environment and nature – excessive and mindless usage of technology may pose a barrier to that.
  • How external influences like the upbringing in a feminist household and being a part of a Quaker school with a unique and distinct focus on equality and inclusion helped Jessica develop her outlook on socio-economic and political aspects of life.
  • Discussion on the topics of gender discrimination practised in professional ecosystems, socio-economic issues, and their addressing, and the effectiveness and implementation of collective action.
  • Taking responsibility for one’s actions as an individual and their impacts on the environment and community.
  • How consumers must become conscious of the impacts of their shopping habits on the environment and thus pressure corporations into producing environment-friendly products by showing an increased inclination towards products and brands that are “green.”
  • The importance and functioning of institutions that work to bring people together internationally to shape policies and reforms regarding rising global concerns.
  • How one can learn more by trying to communicate the knowledge that they already have to other people.
  • How people with different expertise address and view problems differently.
  • The importance of sincere engagement in international negotiations.

She has early childhood memories of having wanted to make her own money through something she made – but she never knew the answer was entrepreneurship.

Today, Cynthia owns a well-established agency (https://www.hiddenrhythm.com) that organizes experiential events for food companies, that are not only effective and engaging but also economical – which is a feature that is not offered by other agencies with upper-class portfolios.

Insights:

  • The importance of being happy in your job, in addition to being good at it.
  • Deciding what major you want to choose, and which career will keep you happy.
  • Entrepreneurship – opportunities, risk, benefits, and approach.
  • Experiential events – importance, profits to be gained, and key points to be kept in

74: Reasons to be Positive when Everything is Broken - Sam Harris

74: Reasons to be Positive when Everything is Broken - Sam Harris

Things don't always work out. It's very wise to not lose your s#!t when bad things happen. Staying positive is a useful skill to build so that your problems don't multiply (and people don't get bored with your whining).


Traditionally people often receive deep inspiration and insight from near-death experiences. By all accounts, they come away more intelligent and focused with a renewed energy for life and all its beautiful joys. Curious to find out more Sam conveniently had a terrible accident in October and is currently in recovery with humble aspirations of walking again. 


Sam attempts to relive his epic failure and provide take-home lessons in the hope of sounding intelligent and bottling some of this near-death wisdom for listeners. Aspirationally, after listening to this you won't need to risk your life in a quest for profound insights about the fabric of your existence. He also explains how he managed to remain suspiciously happy through the ordeal and the mindsets and terrible jokes he told himself to keep smiling.


Whether has transcended his problems or simply lost the plot is up to you to decide. In the infamous words of the Joker. "What doesn't kill you makes you... Stranger"


Important 😇

Please remember:

  1. Have health insurance
  2. Don't go kitesurfing when it's really windy and you don't know what you're doing

66: Sam Harris - The Lost Art of Listening to Yourself

Sam explains the lost art of listening to ourselves and the damage it is causing us.

In our modern on demand economy we rush from one thing to the next. We optimise all our moments for learning and listening to things in between. With all of this going on we have lost the art of actually being unplugged and just listening to our mind. We constantly feel a need to distract it.

There have been huge movements towards meditation and things like the 5 minute journal that make us think about our lives and appreciate what we should be grateful for. But this still requires a framework to tell our brain it’s doing something rather than letting it just do things by itself.

Sam explains how this creeps into our lives and how to find moments for yourself for ideas and solving your own problems.

60. Doing the Difficult Thing - Dr Niall McCann - Intrepid Explorer and Director of National Park Rescue

Dr Niall McCann doesn't mess around. He's cycled the Himalayas, rowed across the Atlantic and skied across Greenland. He knows a thing or two about taking on difficult challenges and winning.

His incredible mindset to take on huge challenges doesn't just stop with adventuring but also taking on the worlds biggest problems. As a Biologist and conservationist he was challenged by the lack of impact science was having on the decline of species and the climate. Instead of getting depressed he took on the problems head on and runs National Park Rescue to solve these problems.

They take the biggest issues to the most important people they can and get buy-in at a top level to protect nature by law. They also take a bottom up approach and skill local people to look after wildlife and provide them jobs as park rangers and tour guides so they can preserve their assets and make money out of them from tourism instead of hunting. Because of his work there are huge ares of land that are protected and provide sanctuary to species that would be going extinct otherwise. 

He is also a member of the Mountain Rescue Team in the Brecon Beacons and if you hadn't got the picture he is a bit of a hero on every level.

Topics

It was an inspiring conversation with Niall about the work he does. We discuss so many things:

  • How to become an 'explorer'
  • The challenges rowing across the Atlantic
  • How illegal poaching relates to arms dealing, drug trade and human trafficking and the importance of stopping it
  • How to get buy in from politicians
  • How to create a sustainable economy that solves these problems
  • How to get on TV
  • Why climate change wasn't broadcast publicly for so long
  • The future of conservation and the climate
  • General amazing life advice

39. Contrepreneurs, Wantrepreneurs and Entrepreneurs - Mike Winnet- UKs #1 Demotivational Speaker

39. Contrepreneurs, Wantrepreneurs and Entrepreneurs - Mike Winnet- UKs #1 Demotivational Speaker

Mike Winnet is the UK's #1 demotivational speaker. He is the antidote to 'Contrepreneurs' that sell instant success formulas to 'Wantrepreneurs' who are never going to make it and are just wasting their money.


He believes that most people are average and should not harbour lofty ambitions to achieve their dreams and should be much happier with a simple life.



Needless to say, this sparks an interesting debate between Mike and the Growth Mindset host Sam.
