Podcast appearances and mentions of adam garfinkle

Adam GarfinkleMy now 26-year-old son, Nik, was diagnosed with major depressive disorder in his late teens. We spent years riding the psychopharmacology merry-go-round and finally realized he was treatment-resistant to traditional anti-depressants. In 2019, after years of suffering, we traveled to Peru where Nik spent three weeks at an ayahuasca retreat. This turned out to be a life-changing experience and diverted our path toward psychedelic solutions. Upon returning to the U.S., we found a wonderful doctor in San Diego that treated Nik with ketamine, After suffering intensely for many years, Nik is now living a productive life while receiving maintenance doses of Ketamine.Due to a variety of personal challenges and during the period that I was learning more about psychedelic medicine, I did not realize that I was falling into my own depression.Consequently, I received Ketamine treatment which created my own life changing benefits.Since personally experiencing the healing power of psychedelic medicine, I have been called to dedicate the remainder of my career to the psychedelic healing movement.As an experienced capital markets and business development professional, I can provide industry participants with much-needed assistance in capital raising, capital strategy, investor relations, and business/ corporate development.

From Claire—We think this is our best Cosmopolicast yet.Do you remember Adam Garfinkle's debate with Vivek about China, the 7th Fleet, and the future of US power? We brought Adam on the podcast to discuss this, and Henry Hill joined us. Is Chinese global hegemony inevitable? Vivek says yes. Adam says no. Who's right?We ask what the Chinese regime is really all about: Is it Marxist? Leninist? Maoist? Neo-totalitarian? Revanchist? Nationalist? Imperialist? How well does the West understand China? How well does China understand the West? What does China want? When does China want it? What should we do about it? Who would win a war for Taiwan? What would happen if the US didn't fight—or lost? Is the US overreacting?Thanks for listening,Claire and the Cosmopolitan GlobalistsDownload the episode

If you’ve noticed that your copy isn’t converting recently as well as it used to, maybe it’s too complicated to read. Now, copywriting experts have been saying what I just said since the time of Claude Hopkins, more than 100 years ago. Which is since the dawn of time, as far as direct-response copywriting goes. But in the last few years, things have changed. Simply writing less complicated copy isn’t good enough, because the way people read has been altered. People now read by text messages. By Facebook. By Instagram. By Youtube. Some people I find worth listening to are saying that people’s brains have changed. It’s not my original idea, and I’ll get into this in more detail in just a little bit. But the way we’re spending so much time with our screens is literally rewiring our neural pathways, and this changes our brains. Which changes the way we read. I’m gonna say that, as marketers and copywriters, we have been living in a world that is not as literate as it used to be, and this is by a wide margin. Since we can’t customize our copy for every individual reader, we have to pick one person to represent all of them. And I think the reality is, in a lot of cases, that one person, that avatar, is someone I would call post-literate. Post-literate. Not illiterate. Post-literate means they can read, but they don’t want to. Maybe not the way that you do. They don’t want to have to focus very much at all. They don’t have patience for anything too complicated. So, the market is not the same level of literate that we used to think we could write to and sell. On average. Of course, there are some 15-year-olds who sound like Oxford professors when they speak. But I’m talking about the market in general, the broad swath of people who might buy your offer. The target prospect you are trying to reach, for most businesses. We’ll look at what’s happening and why. I’m also going to suggest three simple, powerful things you can do in the way you write your copy that will reach the increasing post-literate portion of your market, and will work just as well with the literate members of your market as it always did. Here are some of the many topics we covered in today’s show: Multitasking The shrinking percentage of the market that can still read Something Gene Schwartz said (long before the current situation arrived) that could be very helpful now How farm animals think (and why that matters to marketers and copywriters) Our genetic need for storytelling — a key to reaching “non-readers” Three easy changes you can make to your copy to reach more prospects.

Dr. Adam Garfinkle and Mortimer J. Adler were discussed on today's program with regard to the subject of Deep reading. A process by which the reader's comprehension level of understanding what the writer meant in the text is digested and processed to form a solid conclusion. This is in stark contrast to a superficial reader's comprehensive ability to form a cohesive thought process. This is where the reader is only skimming the text and not fully comprehending the information. An apparent problem that continues to plague us through out history.
