Thanks!! I just downloaded it. Looking forward to listening to it on my flight today!
Fair! I admit her music is definitely not for everyone 😄
Omg I'm a huge fan pre-musk... Canadian gem and true artist in every sense of the word! I hope you enjoy!!
Such an interesting conversation! When I was younger an single and going to university in a big city I definitely fell into the "sexual marketplace" trap as @cameri mentioned above - there was a point I didn't swipe right on anyone who wasn't [insert insanely unrealistic physical requirement here] and my self worth was ~completely~ entangled with the perceived ~caliber~ of man I could get a date with.
I think it's a phase, and while I don't think it's necessarily detrimental to anyone's wellbeing in the long run, I do know for sure that it takes a fair share of deprogramming and personal growth to get out of thinking that way.
Technology (i.e. dating apps) and subsequently culture (specifically hookup culture) is changing so much faster than our psychology evolves to keep up.
I think hookup culture itself is neutral, but the apps definitely encourage unhealthy mindsets. Some people are immune I think, but not me in my 20s, and not the majority of young people. If you think about it, until now, having so many options for dates at your fingertips wasn't "natural". Now it's a part of reality, and we have to learn how to navigate it in a healthy way and think about dating differently. We haven't unlocked it yet!

I think the return could likely be more than the interest in 3-4 months
I don't think these people have any idea they are working for evil and I don't think they are scum of the earth for believing the stories they were fed their entire lives.
What we need is more education... the kind of education that encourages curiosity and critical thought about systems we never question.
Have you seen this podcast with Grimes?
- she talks about about how social media representations disincentivize her from wanting to make art... she feels like she lost control of her narrative, part her own fault and part was that "it has just been hijacked by forces far beyond my control.”
- they talk about how humans are adaptive and learn by failing, Lex using social Media as an example- how we build social medias over a generation and see the failures so we build a new, better ones.... But what if we get it so wrong we increase hate past a certain threshold and's do a lot of damage?
- Grimes questions whether there is enough incentive to make newer, useful, positive technologies that contribute to social good... "Things that help reprogram the human computer in a good way "
- we need more Protopian ideas and art (Protopian = a bit better than today or yesterday but not as overly optimistic/naive as a utopia)
It's so good:
I'm still thinking about this podcast with Grimes from like a year ago!! I just listened to it... twice 😂

She talks about being super disillusioned with social media... so many awesome takeaways I know it's old but I might make a post lol
Now that I can get behind. They definitely made it painful for me 😂
I love this in theory but I don't want trouble or for my life to get harder.
I'd feel better about that if I were contributing to society in any other meaningful way but I'm really... not...
I don't plan on ever selling... at least not for many years (I might want a house someday in the distant distant future lol) so this makes sense
So I'm a self employed freelancer and I underestimated how much I'd owe in taxes this year and I bought too much #Bitcoin ... I think I've decided not to sell any and just pay w my line of credit instead. (I think I can pay it off in 3 months, interest is 6%) I've been DCAing for a few years and if BTC went up to a million dollars tomorrow I won't be a millionaire if you catch my drift; I don't wanna part with a single sat!!
Not looking for financial advice on the internet, I promise... BUT just out of curiosity... WWYD?
Is there like a mathematical formula for these kinds of decisions?! 😂
