In the Amazon rainforest to understand models of reality from nature.

If you're simplifying, I'm a traveler. The higher-level game is experimenting with ways to bring these worlds back to other people.

I'm trying long-form podcasts, code (this site is one attempt), and maybe shorter video. The space is saturated, so I'm still looking for a better angle. That's why I don't make much content yet.

1. 01Why is there something rather than nothing?
2. 02What's the most profound realization humanity has had?
3. 03How does a human being know they're not deluding themselves? Where do the blind spots hide?
4. 04What does following your intuition actually mean, and how do you know when to trust it?
5. 05Is deep thinking a calling, or a symptom of being unhappy?
6. 06What does a world outside self-help look like?
7. 07Is there still meaningful work to be done in philosophy and psychology?
8. 08What makes some people grow from a hard experience while others only carry it?
9. 09How do the few people who work on what they genuinely want end up there?
10. 10Can someone make money simply as a result of becoming more themselves?
11. 11Does big action necessarily mean meaningful action?
12. 12How should a person act while accepting they might be wrong about everything?
13. 13Which experiments are reversible, and which ones cost more than time?
14. 14What power structures keep a person trapped? Who's actually in control of a life?
15. 15Which worlds are welcoming to outsiders and newcomers?
16. 16What's the Florida of any given country? A useful question for understanding a culture.
17. 17Who comes to mind when someone says "successful," and why that person?
18. 18Is climbing the career ladder still the reliable path it used to be?
19. 19Would you rather speak every language, or speak to animals?

• →A meditation practice without the frills.
• →Learning, and following my curiosity wherever it goes.
• →I like to learn broadly. And I go deep when I think it's necessary.
• →Understanding every perspective I can. It just fascinates me. I love to mediate arguments between people, because I see a little bit of myself in each of them — how I used to believe, or still do believe, what they're saying.
• →Living by principles that are ethical and grounded in something that's a net benefit for the world.
• →Being high agency and solving problems.
• →Developing my relationship with the computer. It's still early.
• →I learn fast with a bit of coaching. Give me one person to ask hard questions and room to work, and I move quickly.
• →I have an unusual tolerance for being the outsider in any situation.

These are the countries I have a friend in so far. It'd be incredible to have a friend that lives in each country.
