Tsuyoku Naritai! (the 'becoming stronger' podcast)

By Alex Hedtke

It is a recurring problem, at the root of every mistake we make; a problem all humans throughout time have suffered and died from: we consistently have an incorrect view of reality.

'Tsuyoku Naritai!' is a podcast designed to help fix this, by honing our art of rationality. This consists of a variety of techniques, drawn from the fields of psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy, game theory, probability theory, and anything else that can help provide a correct view of the world.

Each episode will cover one technique.
