Today we are joined by philosopher Jennifer Nagel for a take-no-prisoners look at universal skepticism—philosophy's greatest deception. We unpack why doubt itself is the ultimate illusion, how knowledge is primitive instant recognition, and what this means for self, free will & consciousness.

Podcast Show Notes: Solana Weekly with Aly from Blockchain Founders FundHost: Thomas BahamasGuest: Aly Madhavji, Managing Partner at Blockchain Founders FundDate: March 19, 2025Overview: In this episode of Solana Weekly, Thomas sits down with Aly Madhavji, a seasoned investor and managing partner at Blockchain Founders Fund, to explore the investment landscape of crypto, with a deep dive into Solana's ecosystem. Aly shares insights from his eight years of experience, discussing market cycles, investment strategies, and emerging trends in Web3, including tooling, real-world assets (RWAs), fintech, and the intersection of AI and blockchain.Key Discussion Points:* The Crypto Market Rollercoaster* Aly reflects on the volatility of crypto markets, referencing recent events like Trump's announcements causing 25% surges followed by sharp declines.* “There are no days off in crypto,” Aly notes, highlighting the fast-paced nature of the industry.* Investment Philosophy: Founders First, Themes Second* Aly emphasizes investing in exceptional founders who bring world-class practices to crypto, even if their focus isn't his top thematic priority.* Key investment themes:* Infrastructure: Early bets like Solana at 18 cents showcase the potential of Layer 1s, though Aly sees diminishing returns for new L1s. Innovations like Bearchain's proof of liquidity still intrigue him.* Tooling: A critical gap in Web3, with inefficiencies plaguing developers. Companies like Uniblock (API aggregation) and Validation Cloud (node infrastructure) are solving real problems.* Real-World Assets (RWAs): From advising Polymath eight years ago to seeing BlackRock's Larry Fink push tokenization, Aly sees RWAs gaining traction, with startups like Zoth (on-chain yields) and Asterism (RWA infra) leading the charge.* Fintech & Payments: This cycle features profitable companies, a shift from past bull runs. Stablecoin payments and remittances are ripe for growth, with examples like Mastercard settling a third of transactions on a private blockchain.* The State of Solana* Aly praises Solana's rise, noting its speed and user base make it a focal point for builders. Every company now considers a “Solana strategy.”* The recent U.S. strategic reserve announcement including Solana underscores its growing prominence.* Challenges in Crypto Investing* Value Extraction vs. Value Creation: Aly critiques short-term “cash grab” token launches and meme coin hype, advocating for sustainable businesses that grow the pie for everyone.* The Death Spiral: Poorly executed token launches can tank even great companies, a phenomenon Aly calls the “death spiral.”* Retail Fairness: Aly pushes for retail investors to access deals at VC prices, citing platforms like Echo and CoinList as steps toward democratization.* VC Process Unveiled* Blockchain Founders Fund reviews 300–500 companies monthly, sourced from events, online submissions, and a network of 410 funds.* Quick filtering (deck reviews in minutes) narrows the pool, followed by calls and a rating system assessing traction, team, and value-for-money.* Aly's tip for founders: Nail your pitch in 11 seconds, 30 seconds, and 90 seconds—anything longer risks losing interest.* Emerging Trends & Innovations* AI & Blockchain: Hype around AI agents is overstated, but legitimate projects like Virtuals show promise.* Decentralized Systems: Aly highlights Unit Network, which tokenizes business ownership with transparent treasuries, and DEAN, a decentralized insurance network—both vital for a hyper-decentralized future.* Meme Coins with Substance: Could real businesses disguise themselves as meme coins for fun and fundamentals? Aly sees potential in this hybrid model.* Long-Term Vision* Aly's 10-year fund horizon reflects a belief in building enduring companies, not quick flips. He contrasts this with short-term token funds and founders vesting in a year.* “Great things take time,” Aly says, urging focus on consistent progress over flashy launches.* U.S. Crypto Renaissance* Dropped lawsuits and lighter regulations are revitalizing the U.S. crypto scene, keeping talent stateside and reversing the exodus seen in places like Canada (Ethereum's origin).Guest Contact:* Twitter/X: @Aly_Madhavji* Website: Blockchain Founders Fund* Aly welcomes startup pitches—submit via the website or reach out directly!Closing Thoughts:Thomas wraps up with gratitude to Aly for shedding light on crypto investing and a call to listeners to subscribe, review, and shill their bags. “This isn't financial advice, but let's accelerate and get this bag!” Get full access to The Dramas of Thomas Bahamas at thomasbahamas.substack.com/subscribe

Neil talks about the importance of broadening one's knowledge beyond the confines of a specific field, particularly in tutoring, teaching, and coaching. Drawing from his 26 years of experience, Neil shares insights on how reading outside of one's specialisation can lead to greater creativity, flexibility, and problem solving abilities. He discusses the value of exploring diverse subjects, such as tax law and behavioral science, and how these peripheral interests can significantly enhance teaching methods. Neil encourages listeners to embrace a polymath approach, suggesting that by reading widely, they can uncover valuable ideas that can be applied to their own practices, ultimately enriching their professional and personal lives. KEY TAKEAWAYS Broaden Your Reading: Engaging with literature outside of your specialisation can provide valuable insights and ideas that enhance your teaching and business practices. Value of Non-Teaching Knowledge: Learning about topics such as tax law, psychology, and business can yield significant financial and operational benefits, often outweighing the potential gains from reading more specialised teaching materials. Avoiding Specialization Pitfalls: Over specialisation can limit creativity and flexibility. A diverse knowledge base allows for a more adaptable approach to teaching and problem solving. Polymath Advantage: Cultivating a wide range of knowledge and skills can improve your ability to connect with various students and handle different teaching scenarios effectively. Encouragement to Explore: Readers are urged to explore non fiction books outside their field to discover new ideas and perspectives that can be applied to their own work, fostering personal and professional growth. BEST MOMENTS "The more widely read I am, the more flexible my behaviour can be and the more likely I am to achieve my objectives because I have multiple points of view." "If I stuck to only reading guitar teaching books, I'd be dry as toast and way less equipped to teach." "They say a specialist is someone who knows more and more about less and less. And I'm inclined to agree with that." "Reading up on tax and arranging my affairs in accordance with the rules has been really, really valuable." "The more widely you read, the more interesting you become, too."

Founder Dan Futrell shares his vision for a university that addresses both accessibility & effectiveness challenges in higher education through a unique model where students pursue three non-adjacent majors while working as apprentices with employer partners.The conversation explores how Polymath's approach differs from traditional higher education by focusing primarily on instruction rather than facilities, athletics, or research. Students will earn a bachelor's degree in three years through a year-round program with eight-week course blocks, developing breadth, depth, & integration across disciplines that prepares them to solve complex problems in an interdisciplinary way.Polymath University demonstrates a compelling value proposition through its ROTC-inspired model for the private sector, where students work as paid apprentices with employers who cover the $9,500 annual tuition. This partnership helps fill high-vacancy, high-demand roles while providing students valuable applied learning experiences & career pathways without debt.The institution's early-stage development includes standalone remote courses beginning April 2025, a master's level certificate program launching Fall 2025, & plans for the full bachelor's degree program in 2028.

Throughout history, every age has thought of itself as more knowledgeable than the last. Renaissance humanists viewed the Middle Ages as an era of darkness, Enlightenment thinkers tried to sweep superstition away with reason, the modern welfare state sought to slay the “giant” of ignorance, and in today's hyperconnected world seemingly limitless information is available on demand. But what about the knowledge lost over the centuries? Are we really any less ignorant than our ancestors? In Ignorance: A Global History (Yale UP, 2024), Peter Burke examines the long history of humanity's ignorance across religion and science, war and politics, business and catastrophes. Burke reveals remarkable stories of the many forms of ignorance—genuine or feigned, conscious and unconscious—from the willful politicians who redrew Europe's borders in 1919 to the politics of whistleblowing and climate change denial. The result is a lively exploration of human knowledge across the ages, and the importance of recognizing its limits Peter Burke is emeritus professor of cultural history at the University of Cambridge. He is the author of many distinguished books that have been translated into more than thirty languages, including The Polymath and What Is the History of Knowledge?

I'm not sure but I think this is the FIRST AI interview where it interviews the host of the show! I wanted a cool way to wrap up the season, as well as share some of my thoughts on polymathy. I figured why not test out some AI tools while I was at it. I did try NotebookLM and Elevenlabs, but their conversational AI were too slow or in the NotebookLM's case too caught up in the inputted source files. Maybe if I inputted a pdf prompt of being a host interview, or something like that it will work.Note: I did cut out pauses while it was thinking, and the few times I had to prompt it. I'll try to include notes below on how I did it, and the prompts, etc. I also used Adobe Podcast to enhance the audio, as the recording was a bit loud and needed equalization. I left in a couple prompts cause it was funny, and since this is the first time. I felt that it would be useful for other people to see how it works.Some Prompts:“I want you to interview me for my Polymath Polycast show.”“Can you ask me about my POLYMATH integrated operating system?”“I would like to finish off this podcast episode exploring the ideas of polymathy, the multidisciplinary spectrum that I created, and being multidisciplinary in general.”AI Summary:**Introduction:**  The Polymath PolyCast explores the lives of multidisciplinary individuals, celebrating their unique journeys. Today, the tables are turned as ChatGPT interviews the host to dive deeper into the show's mission, inspiration, and future direction.**Why the Polymath PolyCast Exists:**  The podcast was created to showcase polymaths, highlight the beauty of being multidisciplinary, and validate those navigating such a lifestyle. Guests are selected based on their multidisciplinary qualities, often discovered through keywords like "polymath" or "multipotentialite" in their profiles.**Favorite Moments:**  The recurring question, "What is a polymath to you?" reveals unique perspectives, even when answers share similarities. This moment resonates deeply, creating a sense of connection and understanding.**Podcast Evolution and the Mini-Series:**  The host plans to take a break after this season, returning with a renewed focus and introducing a mini-series. Tentatively called "Triple Threat" or "Triple PolyCast," the series will feature multiple guests exploring overlapping skills and contrasting perspectives.**Definition of a Polymath:**  A polymath has three or more areas of expertise and an insatiable curiosity. Polymathy is a journey, thriving in adaptation, and can be pursued either one interest at a time or by juggling multiple passions simultaneously.**The Polymath Integrated Operating System (PIOS):**  Born from frustration with existing tools, PIOS is a six-layer knowledge management framework designed for polymaths and specialists alike. It emphasizes consistency and integrates personal systems like journaling, habit tracking, and content management. The system is adaptable, laying the groundwork for advanced tools like a personal AI assistant.**Closing Thoughts:**  Polymathy thrives on individuality. No two polymaths are the same, even if they share mindsets or backgrounds. The spectrum of skills and experiences is what makes this journey so fascinating.

I've been an avid and active user of TikTok, since it was Musically. I found a home there as a creator, and it taught me how to make short form videos. I probably have over 7000 short videos under my belt at this point, and I can't believe the progress I have made since I joined.From the beautiful couples I've seen get hitched on there, to the people growing their business, and the overall communal vibes the whole platform has. It is going to be a tough one to lose, its been real TikTok.

I'm really not happy with my body, and the best thing to do is to take action about it.

Key Points:Purpose of the Content Blitz: The blitz was initiated to address a large backlog of content and regain control over creative projects. The speaker felt overwhelmed by years of unfinished tasks and decided to tackle them in a concentrated effort rather than spreading them out over time.Structure and Sprints:A "sprint" refers to a short, intense period of work focused on specific, measurable goals. The blitz involves multiple overlapping sprints.Examples of sprints include:Spotify Sprint: Adding clips and long-form videos for nearly 200 interviews on Spotify's new beta feature.Blog Post Sprint: Writing over 100 blog posts, including repurposing older content and ideas into full-length posts.Polymath Newsletter Sprint: Creating a year's worth of newsletter drafts in advance to maintain consistency.Social Media Clips Sprint: Posting curated clips from interviews on platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube, and Instagram.Polycast Sprint: Completing the seventh season of the podcast within a year while maintaining quality.Challenges Encountered:Balancing the blitz with other commitments like a new retail job and seasonal affective disorder.The tedious nature of some tasks, such as redoing videos or managing different social media platforms.Stress from inconsistent past performance, particularly with newsletters in 2024.Philosophy Behind the Blitz:The speaker emphasizes thinking "bigger" by combining multiple sprints into one larger blitz. This approach allows for greater productivity even if some individual sprints fall short.They advocate for changing how people approach overwhelming workloads by focusing on concentrated efforts rather than spreading tasks thinly over time.The speaker concludes by encouraging others to adopt a similar mindset for tackling large projects, highlighting the value of thinking strategically and ambitiously to achieve more significant results.---Transcript:00:00Doing a content blitz. That's what I wanted to talk about today because I have been doing this content blitz since December. And ideally I would have gotten done in December, but I think due to just getting a new retail job for extra income, it distracted me a little bit. And the seasonal effect of disorder also impacted me quite heavily during this past like month or so. And so I wanted to talk about what the content blitz is, why I'm doing it, and what does it kind of entail on the micro scale. So content sprint, if you will.00:29is something, it was like a project that you're going to do a whole bunch of little tasks in this sprint. And so you might do a sprint within a week, think of like a Kanban board or project management kind of sprint. And so there's a whole bunch of measurable goals you can do. So for example, my first sprint for this Blitz was doing Spotify. And so Spotify came out with this beta feature for doing clips for interviews. I have nearly 200 interviews at this point, and I wanted to add a clip for each interview or 99% of them, at least.00:57And then I also realized that I can't just do short form video on there. I should be posting the long form video too. And so I went on there and added a long form interview to it as well, which is something that was very tedious and took a long time, a little bit longer than I expected actually than I think about it. And so I think that also impacted the blitz because I ended up having to redo a lot of videos over and over again. So this content blitz came out about, because I wanted to catch up to where I think I need to be when it comes to content, there's a lot of.01:24big, huge pool of content in my backlog that I needed to get done. And I felt that the best way to do it was to just burn through it and get it done as soon as possible. And so there's multiple sprints within this blitz. That's the whole idea of the blitz is that it's not just a sprint. It's not just one thing that I need to do. It's multiple things that I needed to do in a short time span, because I feel overwhelmed by it and so I figured let's just tackle it all at once rather than trying to spread it out over time. Cause I've done the whole sprint out over time and it's been lasting for the last four years, five years.01:53And so this all originated back from the Omni content series way back when, which I've talked about on this podcast years ago. So the content blitz entailed a handful of different sprints. I'll go over some of them. The Spotify one was one of them. Another sprint that I haven't really worked on. I've only been working on the other half, but basically half of blitz was going to be this one sprint and have to run a hundred or so blog posts. And that's what's really been stressing me out ironically, but there's other things in this blitz that I think are more time sensitive, like the Spotify thing.02:22And I wanted to get that first move or advantage with that. The next sprint. So there's Spotify sprints. There's the hundred blog posts sprint. Actually, it's a little bit more than a hundred, but it's about a hundred that I need to get done. And then I had the polymath newsletter sprint. And essentially what that entails is over the first year and a half or two years of me doing the polymath newsletter, I was very consistent as well as my other couple of newsletters too. And so I was doing all three newsletters consistently, like every week. Made me slight delays here and there, but I got them done.02:49And then over the last year in 2024, I did not get the newsletters done. In fact, I think I only really wrote newsletters half of the year. And it wasn't a consistent half. It was just like spread out. And so it was really bad. And it made me really upset that like I failed my audience that badly. And so I was like, okay, the only newsletter I'm really working on right now is the polymath one and the polytools one and the polytools one can wait a little bit because I got to revamp how I do it anyways, and that's okay. And so what the.03:17Idea was I need to finish the polymath newsletter or not finish, but finish with working on it. I thought let's just do the whole year's worth of posts ahead of time. And so I have about 35 drafts on my site that are related to these videos. And I wanted to write about that are polymathic related. And then I have about 83 ideas in my folder on my obsidian vault. And so I have at least 52 ideas right there that I can do for this first year. I might, maybe I'll even continue into next year and just have like a year and a half's worth ahead of time.03:46And that way I do not have to worry about being consistent anymore when it comes to that series. And so that was the idea behind that. The next sprint is actually posting clips. So LinkedIn is a little bit weird because there's the professional page and the personal page. And so people who connected with me on LinkedIn, they may already not care about my shows. And so I do want to post my clips on there for those who do care, but I don't want to post the same amount of clips that I did on other platforms. Cause I was pretty eccentric and doing like 10 a day. So I'm going to try to go in and try to find the best three.04:16clips for each interview and just post those. And I think that would be a great idea to really get people's attention without overwhelming them. I just post maybe one to three a day and just schedule it out really far ahead. But then the professional page is a bit different since professional page...

Check it out! https://polyinnovator.space/tag/newsletter/00:00Did you know that I have a Polymathy newsletter where I talk about different aspects of the world of polymaths and just having the life of polymaths? It's called the Journey to Polymath. While the name has changed a little bit over the years, the Journey to Polymathy being kind of the former one, I wanted to talk and create content around the topic of polymathy. So I changed the niche for Polyinnovator this year.00:25to be knowledge management for polymath because I was talking about polymathy and knowledge management as like two separate things when in reality it was like a DNA strand very close together. However, I still wanted to have a separate series purely for the polymathy and this is where that newsletter comes in. I'm looking at about 78 posts at this point. I actually had two tags on my website, one for kind of like polymathy and one for the newsletter and I realized I needed to just send them together.00:54posts that I've made. And I also wanted to talk about the future of the newsletter and the importance of it. And so this is kind of like an update of the Polyamorous Web site, just so you know too. That's what this is about. Because I had around three newsletters on this site for a long time. I had my swimming newsletter, which I have since depreciated, at least for now. And then I had the polymorphic newsletter, of course. And I had the content repurposing newsletter, or just being a content creator, which has moved now to the new website. And so now I went from having three to just one.01:24which overly simplifies it, which is great. That way when you go on the site and you sign up, you're only signing up for that one newsletter, which I think helps simplify the process for a lot of people who might be interested. Because if you're listening to the Polymath Polycast, I presume to some degree you're interested in this multidisciplinary life. So part of the point of this was to have the SEO aspect of Polymathy being like my main niche. I wanted to bring people in based on different topics. And so one thing I'm doing right now, actually going forward, is about one every other week or so.01:52I'm going to be doing a post related to a video that I found on this kind of topic. So one of the more recent ones was how to manage multiple hobbies. Considering that's a very impactful idea towards people who are polymathic and multidisciplinary, I wanted to help, you know, guide and add my own two cents based on this topic from this video that someone else had made. And that way more people could check out that cool video and creator. The next one is an open letter to multidisciplinary where I wanted to just, I wanted to people realize that like, hey,02:21It's okay to be multidisciplinary, here's a various amount of terms you can use to describe yourself and this is kind of like my opening statement to people. And then the other thing is like this polycast show. Right now I'm doing a solo cast but the other half of it is interviews and a lot of people think you have to be a polymath to come on the show but you don't have to. So I made a post on this newsletter talking about that where if you're polymathic and you think that you fit the bill then reach out to me and we can have you on the show. And then again managing multiple interests.02:49One post that I thought was really interesting because a lot of people don't talk about it, if you live long enough, you'll become a polymath because generally speaking, your hobbies become careers, your careers become hobbies, and this overall you end up having multiple disciplines over the course of your life. And there's a couple other response posts like there was a r slash polymath on Reddit where I wanted to kind of talk about like the importance of that subreddit. Another one is the Hello Generalist website, and they have a manifesto for generalists. And I wanted to talk about that.03:17And then I wanted to talk about being a content creator, a polymath content creator, so there's a few posts around that. Some other posts I think would be really interesting for a lot of you is time blocking for polymaths or macro focus for polymaths, micro focus from polymaths. And so there's a lot of these different posts that are SEO focused, like a life OS for polymaths, where I wanted to get people who were looking for a life OS to see that, but really in reality, this helps people in general who are in this polymathy world.03:45And so there's a lot of different posts. I'm only halfway through scrolling through this, looking at this, but like defining polymathy uncategorized, which is like a new way of thinking. Like we don't need to be in boxes anymore. And then part of actually what started this newsletter was this idea of leveling up to polymath, hence the journey aspect. And so I had this idea of the multidisciplinary spectrum, which I need to make a new post about actually here soon. And the idea of leveling up on that spectrum to polymathy. So I have a lot of posts talking about leveling up.04:15Specialist or generalist or renaissance people to polymathy. That's just how that was an interesting idea. So there's a number of posts with that kind of format and like jack-of-all-trades, for example. The other thing that I think is really interesting is two paths to becoming a polymath. One being juggling and one being serialized. And so this two pathway approach, I think that people interleave them a lot more than people realize, but there's also this matter of fact of like, hey, at some point you might actually be doing one or the other and you might need to focus on that a bit more.04:45I also wanted to talk about this internet renaissance, digital renaissance. So there's posts like that. There's the idea of essentially at the century of the specialist. And now we're going to be going into the century of the generalist is a future post I'm going to be making. And I have so many ideas, folks, for this show. I'm not sure what newsletter and I'm making a lot of mistakes today, but I'm just going off the cuff because the idea behind a lot of these posts I'm so excited about and so like the Da Vinci principle, think like a polymath.05:12There's a lot of amazing posts in this newsletter that no one's really reading enough of. And so there's actually one about Miyamoto Mushashi, who is a lone samurai, who is a very prime example of a polymath that a lot of people just didn't know about. And this is actually one of my PolyPro posts, so it is a specialized post that people can read, but the idea was talking about this really interesting person. And so most of the posts are actually going to be free, but there are a couple...05:3999% of the posts would be free but there are a couple paid posts. And so I wanted to give people a warning about that because if you are part of the Polypro you can read them but otherwise. I think there's only like 3 on this list that are actually paid. The rest of them are all free. And even talking about really unique characters like Avatar Aang from The Last Airbender. He is a polymath because he had to master 4 elements in a young age. That's 4 different specialties right there. And then just definitions, talking about Ada Lovelace. I'm just going through the whole list here.06:08and I have around 80 already made. I have around 80 ideas in my obsidian vault that I'm looking at and then I have about 25 ideas that are related to videos that I found on these topics that I wanted to reply to. So I have over a hundred future ideas for this series and I'm so excited to share them all with you. So please go check out the Journey to Polymath newsletter.

The Evolution and Future of MediaThe story of media is one of constant evolution, reflecting the ways humanity communicates, consumes, and creates. From the early days of radio to the ever-changing landscape of digital content, the trajectory of media provides a fascinating lens through which to view technological progress and societal shifts. Let's dive into how media has transformed and explore what lies ahead.The Ever-Present ScreenTake a moment to notice how screens dominate our daily lives. Whether it's the monitor in front of you, the smartphone by your side, or the TV in the living room, screens are omnipresent. We live in an era where rectangular boxes demand our attention almost every waking moment. However, this paradigm is beginning to shift. Technologies like Apple's Vision Pro headset and Meta's Quest are redefining how we interact with displays.The future points to a world where screens are no longer confined to rectangles. Imagine immersive, customizable interfaces that occupy your entire field of view, tailored to your preferences. This shift will redefine not only how we consume media but also how we perceive reality itself.Changing Operating Systems and InteractionsOur interaction with technology is evolving at a fundamental level. Traditional operating systems like Windows and Android are being outpaced by more intuitive platforms. For instance, Google's Fuchsia OS and the emerging AI-driven systems like Google Gemini aim to create seamless user experiences. These systems adapt to user habits and preferences, sometimes even anticipating needs before they arise.The idea of interacting with technology through neural inputs or simple spoken commands feels closer than ever. As computing systems become less visible and more integrated into our lives, the implications for content creation and consumption are profound.The Democratization of Content CreationMedia creation has moved from the hands of the few to the many. What began with blogs and independent websites has expanded into podcasts, YouTube channels, and TikTok accounts. Today, anyone with an internet connection can become a creator, sharing their voice with the world. Platforms like Nebula and Floatplane cater to niche audiences, providing creators with tools to monetize their work while maintaining creative control.This democratization isn't just about creators. Consumers now have unprecedented control over how they engage with media. Gone are the days of being beholden to TV schedules or radio time slots. Streaming services, on-demand podcasts, and personalized algorithms have given audiences the power to curate their own experiences.The Future of Content FormatsFrom radio to podcasts, we see a recurring pattern: old formats adapt or give way to new ones. Radio stations gave rise to Spotify playlists and podcasts, while traditional TV is being replaced by streaming services. Even within streaming, the model is evolving. As Netflix and other giants face challenges like rising costs and audience fatigue, we may see a return to smaller, creator-focused platforms.In the future, we might each have our own “Netflix”—personalized platforms tailored to our preferences. Alternatively, decentralized platforms like Odyssey could gain traction, offering creators a way to bypass corporate gatekeepers entirely.The Evolution of Social MediaSocial media has undergone its own dramatic shifts. Platforms like Twitter Spaces and Clubhouse redefined live audio interactions, while TikTok's short-form videos captured global attention. Meanwhile, live-streaming platforms like Twitch are losing ground to competitors, and even YouTube—once the undisputed king of video content—faces criticism for its increasingly cumbersome interface and policies.The decentralization of content might be the next big wave. As traditional platforms struggle to adapt, creators and audiences alike are exploring alternatives. This shift could pave the way for a more equitable media landscape where niche communities thrive.Everyone Becomes a CreatorPerhaps the most significant trend is the growing participation in content creation by everyday people. It's not just influencers and professionals anymore. Parents sharing recipes, hobbyists documenting their crafts, and individuals exploring personal interests are all part of this wave. Content creation is no longer confined to career paths; it's an extension of self-expression.As technology becomes more accessible and intuitive, we'll see even more people entering the fray. The line between creators and consumers will blur further, fostering a media ecosystem that is as diverse as it is dynamic.Final ThoughtsMedia's evolution reflects our own—our needs, aspirations, and the technologies we create to bridge the two. As screens dissolve into immersive interfaces, operating systems become nearly invisible, and content becomes ever more democratized, the future of media is a canvas for innovation.The question isn't just what media will look like in the future. It's how we—as creators, consumers, and participants—will shape that future. The possibilities are endless, and the journey is just beginning.

Okay I am ASTOUNDED at how accurate and on point this is. Full disclosure this particular PolyCast episode was generated with AI. Specifically Google's new NotebookLM tool (recently updated). I was hesitant to use it much, as I only wanted feed it information based on my work or my niche in particular.This dialogue between these two hosts talk about my website, the various topic categories, and most importantly of all: they have a great understanding of what the PIOS is.Now they do somewhat mispronounce "Polymathy" or the "P.I.O.S.", but maybe I'll start calling it "PI" "OS" from now on haha. Also they said the "I" stands for "Integrated" but it actually is "Innovation". Simple mistake, no big deal.I'm awestruck at the level of understanding they have for my content ecosystem as a whole, and really my mindset towards life. I am really curious to see what they say next to be honest.SummaryDustin Miller's website, PolyInnovator LLC, showcases his diverse content creation across various platforms. He focuses on polymathy, a multidisciplinary approach to knowledge and skill development, which informs much of his blogging, podcasting, and video content. Key themes include self-development, knowledge management, technology, and omnichannel content creation. Miller also shares personal reflections in his "Fireside Codex" and "NOW Page" series. The site includes recommendations for tools and resources he uses.Let me ask you, since you got this far in the description lol. Could you tell if they were AI voices?

While I've been a blogger for over a decade at this point I still write some posts free hand. Things like these “micro-blogs” on Medium/LinkedIn, or my Fireside Codex on the home site.The only thing I really plan is the title haha!I figured today I'd share some information about me and my life, as I don't usually.— — 1. I'm part Hispanic, and I grew up with a Mexican step dad as well. Meaning a lot of that culture got imbued into my way of life. I put salsa into everything, and I listen to Vincente Fernandez when I get sad. Orale.2. Some people might know this from podcast interviews, but I built my first computer when I was 10 thanks to my uncle. I've built half a dozen since, and I use it daily for gaming or content creation.3. I've worked for over a dozen employers and two dozen different roles. Anywhere from lifeguard to elevator operator, cashier, and even karaoke jockey.4. I'm a massive gamer, even when I was young. Anything from Zelda to Pokemon, and even Halo and Diablo. I played on most consoles besides Sega ones, and the PS5. However literally all Nintendo's, Xbox's, PS1–4/PSP, etc.5. I spent the 6 years after high school pursuing deep self-development instead of college, and I don't regret it one bit. I truly think I learned far more in that time span than I would have in school. Not to say schooling is bad, but rather I wouldn't have learned.6. While singing is in my family, on both sides, I taught myself to sing by going to karaoke religiously for better half of a decade. You get anywhere from 1 to 4 songs a night. I'd go 3–4 nights a week, and practice as much as possible.7. I'm dying to move to ATX and Singapore.8. I love finding new tools and software, and being able to help people through those tools. Here is one I literally found this morning https://fliki.ai/9. I'm really good with Legos, like really good, and I would spend much of my life trying to build the best spaceship akin to Star Wars.Some of these are exposing my more youthful aspects of life, but being able to play with Legos as an adult I think is a very important skill. Not only do you help your hand eye coordination, 3D spatial reasoning, but it is good to play even as you get older.https://youtu.be/gswsQ8uNsYsIf you want to keep reading:https://polyinnovator.space/17-facts-about-polyinnovator-that-you-didnt-know/https://polyinnovator.space/polyinnovator-the-digital-polymath/

To close out the 2024 season of the Derivative podcast, host Jeff Malec sits down with two friends of the pod, and friends of his - Jason Buck and Zed Francis -  for a wide-ranging discussion on the state of the markets, the unpredictability of macro events, and the importance of understanding underlying structures and dynamics. The conversation begins with an exploration of the unexpected market reactions following the first Trump election (in ‘16), highlighting the challenges of the past, and ends with making sort of, semi- predictions for the year ahead in 2025. The guests delve into the concept of "volatility echoes" and how past events can influence future market reactions. The discussion then shifts to the impact of interest rates, with the guests analyzing the significant moves in the long end of the Treasury curve during the recent election week. They debate the potential implications for asset classes and the role of political influence on market dynamics. Beyond the macro landscape, the podcast also touches on the evolution of option strategies, the rise and fall of "pod shops," and the importance of liquidity and market maker strategies in stabilizing markets. The guests share their insights on navigating the complexities of the financial world. While the core of the conversation focuses on the markets, the episode also features a fun and engaging segment where the hosts and guests engage in a "Mount Rushmore" challenge, sharing their top picks for burgers, dive bars, and fine dining experiences around the world. You found it - the pod that gives you financial insights and culinary recommendations - so bring your appetite for mind and body…this ones' juicy! SEND IT!

No. 1 New York Times Bestselling author PATRICIA CORNWELL returns to BOOKSTORM Podcast to discuss IDENTITY UNKNOWN, her newest novel in the blockbuster Dr. Kay Scarpetta novels! This amazing series is about to launch on Amazon with an outstanding cast, including: Nicole Kidman (as Kay), Jamie Lee Curtis (Kay's sister, Dorothy), and Bobby Cannavale (as former detective Pete Marino)! Before she wrote, Patricia asked herself what makes her wonder ... and then she  enthralled us with her plot about unnatural phenomena and our present reality. We asked her about the importance of the heart-felt, heart-broken and heart-healing relationships that she weaves into these characters. Is love a mystery all its own? We discussed the otherworldly things happening in the background of this story, including "the others." Is the evil we know -- ourselves -- the one that should concern us the most? Patricia address AI and our constantly evolving technologies, especially in forensics. And of course we talked about the victim: the brilliant Sal Dante Giordano. He was an Italian astrophysicist and inventor ... and Dr. Kay Scarpetta's lifelong friend. He evokes the Renaissance polymaths of the past. We went as deep as we went high into the cosmos! You can find more of your favorite bestselling authors at BOOKSTORM Podcast! We're also on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube!
