You have to somehow ameliorate the self-deception and enhance the insight and enhance the connectedness. ~ John VervaekeJohn Vervaeke(@vervaeke_john [https://twitter.com/vervaeke_john]) is an award-winning Professor of Cognitive Science at the University of Toronto, and the creator of the popular Youtube series ‘Awakening from the Meaning Crisis’. In this conversation we dive into the root, symptoms and possible path out of the meaning crisis. We discuss the symptoms across society that point to a crisis of meaning. We explore the cognitive cultural role of religion, and constructing a narrative order in the Enlightenment age. We explore John’s work on self deception, relevance realisation, and the ecologies of practice that build meaning and wisdom.

I really do encourage all of us to be more, to own our decisions more as we're making them. But to also recognize that we have limited control over the outcome and we can't judge the outcome or we can't judge our decisions by our outcomes. ~ Nika KabiriNika Kabiri (@nikakabiri [https://twitter.com/nikakabiri]) helps businesses and individuals make better decisions. She has spent more than twenty years studying how people make decisions, and teaches graduate and undergraduate courses at the University of Washington. In this conversation we unpack Nika’s advice for how you can take better decisions, and some of the ways in which we can get derailed. We talk about bias, decision fatigue, the paradox of choice, and many other influences on our decision making.

“If you were to try to listen to every piece of music that is currently on Spotify today it would take you 500 years. And if music was being added at the rate that it's being added today, over those 500 years, by the time you would listen to everything 500 years from now, you would have listened to about 1% of what was available.” ~ Lucas CantorLucas Cantor (@lucasdcantor [https://www.instagram.com/lucasdcantor/]) is an Emmy-winning composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist and conductor. In this conversation we talk about Lucas’ collaboration with artificial intelligence to finish Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony.
