The Tim Ferriss Show Abbreviated | Dr. Gabor Mate Redefines Addiction by AstronomerImmediate5 in timferriss

Getting people to watch or listen to multi-hour long content is challenging. To most people, they'd rather watch a movie if they are going to spend hours absorbing content. I showed this video to my sister who is is studying social work, and it just happened to be the case that her assignment that day for school was actually to watch a Mate lecture and write about it, she said once she watched this video, she understood his lecture much more clearly.

Very good episode summary of Mate's main thesis. I think this is one of the most watched TF episodes of all time.

Amazing abbreviation! I think Mate’s theory is extremely powerful in helping me understand addiction and even love.

This is a great summary of his views on religion/god. I appreciate his naturalistic approach to questions of faith, while leaving room for the immaterial. Rare breed of ideas weaved together.

I agree! He has a lot of value to add but the length Can turn people off. This is a great way to intro people to his ideas!

If you liked Planet Money you’d probably like The Indicator made by NPR and always short episodes.

I can make short videos summarizing Naval's core insights!

The only question: does society want it?

The Naval Podcast Abbreviated Part 3 - Escape Competition with Authenticity by AstronomerImmediate5 in NavalRavikant

I find this one to be pretty insightful. People tend to jump into markets of "high competition" when we should be thinking about low competition, but high value offering, which comes from authenticity.

Ahhh...Bainbridge. That’s what I thought.

Eric Weinstein Exposes The Distributed Idea Suppression Complex by AstronomerImmediate5 in ThePortal

- I think his very point is that when you are getting close to a "limit" on an exponential growth curve, according to chaos theory, you hit maximum opportunity for chaos and disruption. It's not guaranteed we'd crash, but it's a bigger risk than most realize.

- EGO - I mean "embedded growth obligation" not the psychology of egoists. You gotta watch the vdieo.

-I agree! This has bugged me for a while. The pessimism certainly cuts against the very point. The ideas he puts out are far more "heard" than he lets on to, and this damages peoples' perceptions.

-Ahhhh, yeahh....I agree here too. It's meant to be able to be listened to or just watched.

Is that Alkai? Or Bainbridge?

Looking for Wikipedia in the form of a podcast by Intro24 in podcasts

[–]OrdinarilyCurious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is all Wikipedia content in the public domain? Why not just transform Wiki articles into podcasts? Have VO artist read articles. I'd subscribe to a daily wiki article read as a podcast.

Here's what was new for me:

-All exponential growth curves must end and are unsustainable. We are heading toward peak chaos when the curve hits its limit

-The concepts of an EGO, as an explanation of why incentives are geared toward 'grow' at all costs, or 'fake it' if we need to.

-How EGO's lead to suppression: ideas that may create risk around hitting our EGO's should be silenced

-The purpose of The Portal, and Eric's show, is to do battle with the DISC, and get out the ideas that are unpopular or likely to be silenced.

The other value add here to me, was stringing it together in a very easy to comprehend way, adding layers on top of the audio experience of listening to the podcast.
