How human consciousness has shifted over the course of evolution and has prevented us from fully thinking through our personal purpose How a statistical and scientific approach can manufacture love Why they choose to apply thinking and rationality to purpose above other paradigms An important question to ask yourself that may change the way you question and construct your worldview Why they look for people and communities that they find offensive How a nail salon turned into a guide and into a book How they believe after school programs can help kids check their beliefs Why they chose prestigious schools Why they have to care what people think of them to fulfill their objective functions Why it’s important to create a caricature of yourself Why relationships can bring you to purpose How marriage is a force multiplier that fulfills their collective purpose The three types of friends that help us achieve our objective function How they can help you get cheap international trips --------------Resources Mentioned: --------------------- The Pragmatist’s Guide to Life: A Guide to Creating Your Own Answers to Life’s Biggest Questions - Simone & Malcolm Collins The Red Pill- documentary about a feminist's journey into the Men's Rights Movement The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists - Neil Strauss Less Wrong Community - a community blog focused on "refining the art of human rationality" https://travelmax.com/ - Their wholesale travel website for booking complex international trips Email travelmax@ceo to work with Malcolm on booking cheap international travel Join our purpose seeking podcast community at...

This bonus episode is probably one of my favorite dense episodes that’s a departure from our normal topic: Malcolm and Simone Collins are a married couple and tour de force for figuring out your values with brutal pragmatism – your objective function, as they call it. We cover topics like “what are logical fallacies people make with money?” and “how do emotions help you actually find your values?” and “if your number one value is family, how do you relate that to career and money?” If you want to dive into their book, which I loved for all it’s weightiness, it is $.99 on Amazon: The Pragmatist’s Guide to Life: A Guide to Creating Your Own Answers to Life’s Biggest Questions and their foundation The Pragmatist Foundation.
