Today I explore emotionality, concern, simulation, and disagreeableness.

Are people way more emotional about everything than they should be? Am I, on the other hand, not emotional enough?

Currently pondering this notion of social media posturing, which put another way… could be labeled as “virtue signaling”. How much of what transpires in the world is genuinely your concern?  Should you be MORE concerned about things than you are?  Should you be LESS concerned? What’s really doing YOU any good? What’s really doing THE WORLD any good?

A random thought re: the potential enjoyment factor of watching a simulation of my life. Fascinating? Boring? Hmm.

These days I can only agree with any one person a maximum of about 30-50%. Speaking to myself… why are you so disagreeable?

 

Why are you so disagreeable?

Rediscovering the joy of sketchbooking. Realizing this may be the best means of communicating my thoughts & feelings without OFFENDING 80% of people I know. Thinking to myself... why are you so disagreeable?

Recently...

Can we talk?

Can we even talk any more with people who have political differences?

Your Default Self

Not the episode I was planning on making/posting this week, but what can I say? I had a few drinks last night...

J.R.

The first of perhaps many impromptu podcast episodes... just jumped on a call with my good friend J.R. and we got to talking... about crime & (post-?) pandemic life in NYC and Philly. Sounds like right about now he'd prefer his NYC subway shootings to my Philly mask mandates.

Daylight saved

It's another fairly *non-topical* (but very personal) episode... I'm really hoping the NEXT episode will be that promised "Love is Blind" breakdown. So stay tuned for that... SUBSCRIBE if you haven't already!

So much to say

I've been drowning in client work this past month, but am finally coming up for air. And now, back to podcasting...

REACH PEAKS

I've developed an all-encompassing life system! It's called R.E.A.C.H. P.E.A.K.S. A highly aspirational, yet entirely practical modus operandi for 2022 and beyond...

Letting go (of 2021)

"Happy new year"? Okay well "happy" is not the word for me, but let's just say... I'm ready to let go of 2021 and move forward into the (potentially blissful?) abyss of 2022. Let's get into it.

Sharpie

An episode I didn't really *want* to make, but... I felt the need to do so... as I mourn the loss of our family's black Labrador Retriever, Sharpie.

Tommy Danger

Tommy Danger... back on the Introversion podcast for the THIRD time this year! I just can't get enough, can you? In a futile attempt to keep this one short and sweet, we *cut it short*... just under 4 hours. If you're easily offended by anything and everything, may want to skip this one, but otherwise... enjoy!

An episode that is neither here nor there... it's a little bit of this, a little bit of that... sort of a bridge between that last (weird) Orlando soliloquy episode and the next few (guest) episodes lined up.

Last night in Orlando

My (disappointing) last night in Orlando. Thoughts after attending (and leaving) the Tom Woods 2000th episode event.

Friday night dark phase

And now for a late Friday night semi-drunk impromptu episode recorded at the Rosen Shingle Creek Hotel in Orlando, Florida.

Bible reading

Even though I have no interest in re-reading the Bible for the gazillionth time, I would love to hear The Bible read by Samuel Jackson.

Anti social media

Honestly, how did you feel about Facebook/Instagram going down? Let's get into it... and then some.

Norm Macdonald

This is my loving tribute to the one, the only... Norm Macdonald. Hilarious? Of course... but today I seek to shed a little light on how inspiring Norm was (to me personally) as a genuine creative soul... someone who remained true to his comedic scruples despite many opposing forces throughout his life.

J.R.

Today I am rejoined by my good friend J.R. for a brief episode where we follow-up on the prior Henrik episode, further expounding on the vaccine passport issue and other aspects of pandemic life... and we also touch on Nicki Minaj and some other tidbits.

Henrik Mattsson (The Vaccine Passport Debate)

Quite an IN-DEPTH episode today... as I am re-joined by former guest Henrik Mattsson (a Swedish economist living in Canada who’s a COO for an American company). Unlike last time, we're not on the same page any more as he is PRO vaccine passports and I am of course AGAINST them. Listen in as we both make our cases, and decide for yourself... whether you think vaccine passports are ultimately a GOOD or BAD thing for the world.

Tyler Burgett

A change of pace today... as I interview Tyler Burgett... a fellow ex-Christian with a nuanced (and ever-evolving) world view and passion for finding common ground with others. Yes, not all atheists are militant!

Tommy Danger got COVID!

Tommy Danger is BACK... and this time, with COVID! Let's hear his first-hand account of getting COVID... how it all went down, and thoughts/reflections in the aftermath.

Give and Take

Today let's discuss the GIVE & TAKE selfless/selfish spectrum. Consider your relationships, job, religion, location, hobbies, education and pretty much every aspect of your life... are you putting more into it than you're getting out of it?

Money

Sometimes I wonder what people think about money. And I wonder whether my views on it are anything like what others’ views are on it. I mean obviously there’s a presupposition that we ALL want MORE money, and yet… (play Mo Money, Mo Problems). And this is what I want to get into today… basically how we evaluate money… what it is, and what it means to us. Also... this whole NFT craze... and how it may shape our society moving forward.

Society sketch

Today I sketched out my situation and trajectory in society. Believe it or not, it's actually quite sensible. Might do a podcast episode on it at some point, but would be highly controversial.

Before Sunset

Got emotional watching "Before Sunset" late Wednesday night, so decided to do an impromptu recording with thoughts on the film, but also what led me to want to watch it in the first place. Plus reflections on my romantic history and serious doubts about any romantic future.

Ramblin’ man

Yet another ramble sesh that I entered into with no topic or title in mind, so uhh... let's go with RAMBLIN' MAN. Lord I was born this way... tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can.
