Kendra originally joined me to tell us about the depths of a drug addiction that no one in her current life knows about. It was really bad. She got into a lot of shady situations and she and her partner narrowly escaped death and avoided prison.  It's a riveting story for sure. But during the course of the interview, another, perhaps bigger secret emerged, and that's what I want you to listen for today.  It's a profound secret about her daughter which tested the love of her partner. Which secret will you think had the greater chance of upending Kendra's entire world?

Hey Midnighters,This Saturday, thanks to the incredible Hans J, we're stepping into a realm of pure techno bliss with a guest mix that's nothing short of a sonic odyssey. His masterful selection for The Midnight Project isn't just a playlist; it's a manifesto of what techno can be when curated by a visionary.Hans J kicks off our journey with a bang, weaving the Charles D Epic mix of "Your Mind" by techno titans Adam Beyer and Bart Skils into the fabric of the night.

These tracks are not just music; they're experiences, promising to captivate audiences worldwide upon release.The mix continues to unfold with selections like "The Incident" by Matt Sassari and BLR and "Like This" by William Kiss, showcasing the diverse spectrum of techno—from the depths of introspection to the peaks of exhilaration. Each track is a chapter in this night's story, meticulously chosen by Hans J to challenge our perceptions and elevate our spirits.As we move through the mix, tracks like "Be Careful" by Lampe and Frank Spector and "Simulator" by Adam Beyer and Green Velvet remind us of techno's power to convey messages, evoke emotions, and, most importantly, unite us on the dance floor.With each transition, Hans J guides us through a carefully crafted narrative, culminating in a crescendo of sound that leaves us longing for more. His selections highlight his prowess as a DJ and hint at the exciting future that awaits with his upcoming releases on Redesign Records.This guest mix by Hans J reminds us of why we gather under the techno banner.

A personal reflection and update on my 5-year journey to design a new kind of scholarly life for the internet era. In a previous podcast, I shared how the Other Life company hit some hard times. Here I explain what I learned from that, and how I've turned it around. I share some meditations on the pursuit of weird goals, finding one's own path, and some new things I've come to learn about entrepreneurship. The ultimate meaning and purpose of the "other life" concept has really come home to me in the past few months.Other Life✦ Subscribe to the coolest newsletter in the world https://OtherLife.coIndieThinkers.org✦ If you're working on independent creative work, join the next cohort of https://IndieThinkers.org(00:00) - A Late Night Message (01:19) - On authenticity (04:12) - Creativity vs. Business (10:51) - The Creator Economy and Power (11:50) - Network Power (14:46) - The Fear of Failure (16:19) - What is the Other Life?

Can artificial intelligence ever truly replace the human mind? In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the delicate balance between embracing AI's power for mechanical tasks, such as summarizing and translating, while preserving the uniquely human elements that make great works truly great.Join us as we navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of AI, breaking down categorical humanism and unreconstructed Faustianism, two alternative viewpoints on the topic. We discuss why neither position is fully consistent or defensible, and the importance of understanding the different aspects of human cognition in order to determine which elements can be outsourced to machines and which must remain uniquely human. Don't miss this fascinating conversation about where we draw the line between human intelligence and machine intelligence.Chapters:(00:00:22) - Two Futures for AI(00:05:11) - What Should Writers Outsource To AI?Other Life✦ Subscribe to the coolest free newsletter in the world and I'll send you all of my private book highlights. https://otherlife.co✦ Join the Other Life community (free) https://otherlife.co/joinIndieThinkers.org✦ If you're working on independent projects, join the next cohort of https://IndieThinkers.org

Why do some incredibly talented individuals never reach their full potential? In today's episode, we dive into the fascinating life of Ezra Pound, a true genius in the realm of language and literature, yet somehow failing to make the lasting impact of his contemporaries like TS Eliot or WB Yeats. We'll explore the idea I call "the curse of genius" and how Pound's obsession with power and acknowledgment may have held him back from greatness.Join me in this thought-provoking exploration of Ezra Pound's life and career, from his influential role as an editor and promoter of other poets, to his controversial leanings toward fascism later in life. We'll seek to understand the man behind the poetry, the impact he had on the world of arts and letters, and the lessons we can learn from his story for our own personal endeavors and for recognizing the pitfalls that can accompany great talent and ambition.Chapters:(00:01:21) - Pound's Curse(00:05:28) - What Happens When You Aim for Influence?(00:08:58) - Let the Chips Fall Where They MayOther Life✦ Subscribe to the coolest free newsletter in the world and I'll send you all of my private book highlights. https://otherlife.co✦ Join the Other Life community (free) https://otherlife.co/joinIndieThinkers.org✦ If you're working on independent projects, join the next cohort of https://IndieThinkers.org

In this episode, we explore the principle of writing for oneself and how many of history's greatest writers have operated on this principle. We discuss the importance of writing in a way that pleases only oneself and how sacrificing even a hair of one's vision in order to please someone else is the most abject of treacheries. Listen in as we examine the stakes of writing and how it truly matters whether you're writing for yourself out of a conviction in truth and beauty, or for others in order to please them.We also discuss the challenges of writing for oneself in the era of social media, where the nearness of the audience can make one lose the self. We consider the difficulty of recultivating the self in today's world and how it requires a certain degree of anti-social discipline and effortful recultivation of the self.Chapters:(0:00:00) - Writing for Yourself(0:05:56) - Cultivating A Self Other Life✦ Subscribe to the coolest free newsletter in the world and I'll send you all of my private book highlights. https://otherlife.co✦ Join the Other Life community (free) https://otherlife.co/joinIndieThinkers.org✦ If you're working on independent projects, join the next cohort of https://IndieThinkers.org

Why do 22-year-olds today have the testosterone levels of 67-year-old men from the year 2000? Could it be because high testosterone activities and behaviors are increasingly being criminalized? I dive into the theory that the modern world is contributing to the decline in testosterone levels by stigmatizing and punishing testosterone-loaded activities, leading to a downward spiral in overall testosterone levels.Join me as look at the evolution of law enforcement, the rise of a culture that labels aggressive behaviors as "toxic," and how movies from the 70s and 80s highlight a higher testosterone society. Discover how this decline in testosterone affects men today and how our society has slowly evolved to prevent these once-commonplace behaviors from happening. 0:00:39 - Testosterone and Prison0:02:04 - Testosterone in the 70's and 80's0:06:16 - Toxic Masculinity and Testosterone0:08:26 - Testosterone's Catch 22(Sorry for some clicking in the audio, there were some issues with my set up that I didn't notice until after I was done recording.

Today we're looking at the life of Dr. Samuel Johnson, an eighteenth-century English critic who embodied the true spirit of self-reliance and perseverance. Despite facing various hardships in his life, Dr. Johnson managed to defy the odds and become one of the most influential figures in the history of English letters. Join us as we uncover the fascinating journey of this unconventional thinker, and learn how his life can serve as a powerful reminder that success is indeed possible, even for those who may not fit into traditional molds.We delve into his unique approach to life and work, highlighting how his unorthodox methods eventually played a significant role in his success, and how his unwavering belief in his own abilities and his refusal to rely on external support allowed him to carve out a path to success.

What can the ancient philosopher Plato teach us about building a network and thriving in today's intellectual economy? I talk with Alex Petkas, a Princeton PhD in classics, who shares insights on Plato's rise and his brand-building strategies within the decentralized world of Athens in the late fifth and fourth centuries BC, where widespread literacy and the new media technology of writing created an intellectual landscape strikingly similar to the one we inhabit today.(0:00:00) - Introduction(0:04:51) - Plato and Ancient Greek Writing(0:20:04) - Plato's Models and Brand Building(0:33:55) - Plato's Rise and Influence(0:43:45) - Plato and the Power of Mystery(0:52:44) - Plato's Network and Philosophical Training(1:02:44) - The Economic Machinery of Philosophy(1:07:56) - Plato's Power Machinery and Business Model(1:20:29) - Plato's Lessons on Building a Network(1:25:59) - Plato's Lessons for Decentralized Thinking(1:35:31) - Alex's Rome RetreatAlex Petkas | https://ancientlifecoach.com/Learn more about Alex's upcoming Men's Retreat in Rome: https://ancientlifecoach.com/retreat/Other Life✦ Subscribe to the coolest free newsletter in the world and I'll send you all of my private book highlights. https://otherlife.co✦ Join the Other Life community (free) https://otherlife.co/joinIndieThinkers.org✦ If you're working on independent projects, join the next cohort of https://IndieThinkers.org

Oscar Wilde and J.R.R. Tolkien used consumer culture to create works of art. In this podcast, we try to draw some lessons from their lives. I'm joined by Paul Fortunato, an English professor at the University of Houston Downtown. Paul is also a member of Opus Dei, and the author of a book about Oscar Wilde's "consumer modernism."

Some lessons from the life of painter Francis Bacon. I think the unique force and violence of Bacon's paintings derive partially from the ascetic Lebenswelt he cultivated. Into his small but chaotic atelier, Bacon allowed almost nothing other than painting supplies and his varied source materials: Photographs, books, magazines, etc. He locked himself into an otherwise closed circuit of his own reflections. He would even write handwritten notes to himself about what he should be thinking about.✦ Read more (with images) at otherlife.co/francisbaconOther Life✦ Subscribe to the coolest newsletter in the world https://OtherLife.co✦ Join the community at https://imperceptible.countryIndieThinkers.org✦ If you're working on an independent project, join the next cohort of https://IndieThinkers.org

I spent a lot of time reading and thinking about AI this week. I'm especially interested in the implications it will have for writers and the so-called creator economy. Obviously things will change if it becomes nearly free to generate decently intelligent content with machines. But how will things change exactly, and how should writers spend their time now to position themselves for these changes? I think the implications are not obvious. Specifically, AI will increase the economic power of deep classical education, and truly unique artistic personality. In this podcast, I explain why.I wrote more about this at otherlife.co/writing-machinesOther Life✦ Subscribe to the coolest newsletter in the world https://OtherLife.co✦ Get a free Urbit ship at https://imperceptible.computer✦ Join the community https://imperceptible.countryIndieThinkers.org✦ If you're working on independent projects, join the next cohort of https://IndieThinkers.org

I'd like to share with you some biographies of great writers, artists, maybe some inventors—people who represent the other life ethos—people who have produced great work from the fringes, or in weird niches they carved out for themselves in life.Here is a passage from a biography of the French novelist Balzac, Prométhée: ou, La vie de Balzac (1965) by André Maurois. I've translated it to English, of course.This is a story about reading books, childhood, the productive benefits of disordered knowledge, unjustified presumption, an obsession with printed paper, ecstasy as a motivator and a product, and a kind of hunger that nothing can ever satisfy.It paints a fascinating picture of education in France in the early 19th century. But it's also an inspiring vignette about something we see in the early lives of many great writers, which is... Here we have a strange, disaffected, aloof child who just seems a bit absurd or confused or even dumb—his teachers and classmates literally thought he was just stupid—but his appetite for wonder and knowledge drives him, from an early age, to just totally withdraw from society, into a life of the mind. That's the other life.If you'd rather read than listen, see otherlife.co/balzac.Other Life✦ Subscribe to the coolest newsletter in the world https://OtherLife.co✦ Get a free Urbit ship at https://imperceptible.computer✦ Join our network state at https://imperceptible.countryIndieThinkers.org✦ The next cohort of IndieThinkers.org starts Jan 16.

People talk about changing the world every day, but some actually make the mission a lifelong journey. The last time we spoke with author, professor and philanthropist Alex Counts on the Keys Weekly Podcast, we discussed his book, "When in Doubt. Ask for More: And 213 Other Life and Career Lessons for Mission-Driven Leaders.” During his most recent visit, Counts discusses his book, "Small Loans Big Dreams,” which shares intimate stories about how microfinance and the Grameen Bank have changed the lives of impoverished women and their families in America and across the globe. Counts discusses why we should rethink how the world approaches loans and how his microfinance approach, created by his mentor Muhammad Yunus, applies practical life tools and valuable lessons, in addition to the loans, to change the trajectory of poverty. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Luke Smith was a PhD student in linguistics before he grew his Youtube channel to 168,000 subscribers—with his unique perspectives on digital, financial, and mental sovereignty. This is the first time he's told his story at length.I invited Luke to be the special guest at this year's mansion because I think he exemplifies the Other Life mentality. Luke has totally exited the institutional grid, he maintains a very independent perspective and lifestyle, and he publishes his ideas to a growing audience without compromising his principles. Luke only uses Free and Open Source Software, does not watch any TV or streaming services, and recently became an Orthodox Christian.I think you'll find this talk interesting, unique, funny, and inspiring.A special shoutout goes to Marissa Cade—a longstanding and most valued member of the community—for running the mansion meetup this year. It wouldn't have happened if she didn't volunteer to run it. And she did a great job, so huge thanks Marissa.Other Life✦ Subscribe to the coolest newsletter in the world https://OtherLife.co✦ Get a free Urbit ship at https://imperceptible.computerIndieThinkers.org✦ If you're working on independent creative work, join the next cohort of https://IndieThinkers.org

She waves her arms frantically in the air, a desperate attempt to get the driver's attention. The car continues on its forward trajectory and drives straight through her. They didn't see her. Again. They never see her. They didn't see her the first time either, not until it was too late. The girl had watched from the side of the road as the frantic driver leaned over her lifeless body lying on the pavement. She's been at the side of the road ever since, repeating the grisly scene over and over with each passing car; invisible to every last one.I chuckle as I watch her walk dejectedly back to the gravel shoulder on the side of the road. We've been sharing this makeshift home for decades now. Ever since.... well, we don't need to talk about that. I was here before her, of course. I saw it all go down. I made it all go down... but we don't need to talk about that either. Not Yet.I'm Jim. Jim Favreau. You've probably never heard my name, but I'm pretty sure you've heard of me. I appear to have been dubbed The Red-Headed Hitchhiker. It's so funny, I spent years doing all the right things: Working hard, raising a family, farming the land, feeding the people... I went to church, I volunteered at the soup kitchen, donated money to the poor when I had it... I did everything right, and life did me wrong. It only took a moment. One stand-still moment in time. My entire life, all 43 years, all the joy and heartache, all the blood, sweat, and tears, all for nothing. In one millisecond, it was finished. Over. At least, the living was over. The... after... that was just beginning. At first, I stayed by the side of the road, confused. I was still decked out in my farm clothes: A red and black checkered shirt, blue jeans, and work boots. Nothing about me looked different, but everything had changed. Apparently, I died instantly when the tractor hit me as I was bent fixing the flat tire on my truck by the side of Route 44. I stood by the side of the road for what felt like a lifetime, then eventually I wandered up and down along the shoulder, but every time I would reach the mile markers on either side of where I died, I would be zapped back to my starting point. A mile of road, that was my turf. I spent years alone, watching as cars drove by, cars broke down, cars swerved around deer... cars with businessmen, briefcases, mothers, children, luggage, dogs with their heads out the windows. It took a little time, but I realized after a while that the dogs could see me. Their ears would perk up, and some would even bark. After decades alone by the side of the road, I started to form an idea in my mind. Maybe, just maybe, if the dogs could see me, I could get the people to see me too. That's how it all started. Never underestimate loneliness, it can make the best of us turn into the worst.The first time, I stood by the road and stuck my thumb out. Maybe if someone saw me and picked me up, I could escape the confines of this small stretch of highway. I stood there for hours from dawn to dusk until night enveloped the road and the forest behind me. I was about to give up when I saw headlights in the distance. The car was moving fast. I set one foot onto the pavement and jutted my arm out, thumb in the air. The car showed no sign of slowing down. As it whizzed by, I placed my hands on either side of the passenger window and leaned my face against the glass. The man turned his head and looked at me, saw me! In that moment something came over me, something broke, the me that I had been all my life, decades ago, the kind, hardworking, family man, disappeared in the blink of an eye. In that moment, I became free, free of all expectations, free of all inhibitions, and I started to laugh. I laughed and laughed like a madman. The release was enthralling! The power to scare this man was intoxicating, and I wanted more!After that first time, I had several unsuccessful attempts at being seen. It took almost 5 years before it happened again. I was standing by the side of the road in the dark, my thumb haphazardly stuck out without much hope of success. To my amazement, the car slowed and pulled over a few feet ahead of me. I walked to the car and let myself in, dazed and in disbelief. Perhaps I would finally escape this place! The man started asking me questions... where I'm from, where I'm going... I kept quiet for the longest time, until I could feel him squirming with discomfort, then I turned to him and grinned. Not the friendly grin I used to offer the pastor or the baker in my Other Life, but the grin of a man with nothing left to lose, including his life. The man slowed down and drove onto the shoulder. I noted the mile marker just a few feet ahead of us... I was so close! The man began to demand that I get out, and as the car passed the mile marker I felt him, his car, and my surroundings fade away. I let out a bitter, echoing laugh.  In a flash I was back where I'd started.It took me decades to perfect my craft. I had finally found my new calling: Scaring people. There's something about fear, about being the cause of fear, that gives me great energy. The more frightened people become the more I am capable of. Over and over again I would scare people as they drove down Route 44. Sometimes I would follow them as they walked to a service station looking to mend a broken-down car, sometimes I would simply vanish when they stopped to pick me up, sometimes I would get in their car and laugh and laugh and laugh. I even discovered a neat trick over time, I learned to make my voice come out of the car radio. That stunt really put fear in their bellies!One of those times, I hopped in the passenger seat of a car driven by a woman. She didn't stop to pick me up, I just dropped in. She began screaming when she saw me, and I started to laugh. Our chorus of screams and laughter filled the entire car as she stared at me in horror. It was in that moment that she hit the girl. The little girl in the pale blue dress who had stayed out too late playing in the woods by her grandparent's farm. The little girl who had finally wandered onto the road and was waving her hands at the oncoming car for help. The little girl who died almost exactly where I died, in almost exactly the same way. I'm watching her now, starting her routine again. Over and over. She steps onto the road, waving her arms frantically. The cars go through her, every time. They never see her. I giggle and let myself into the car, relishing the panic in the driver's eyes. The little girl walks dejectedly back to the side of the road, and I laugh and laugh and laugh...Thank you so much for listening.  Please be sure to follow the podcasts within the Boopod Network to enjoy all the episodes pertaining to The Bridgewater Triangle.
