E12 – FOMO

E15 – Campfires and Drum Circles

A reflection on where the world of AI is taking us. What is financial freedom? Why do people want to become millionaires in order to live a quiet life in the forest or on the beach? Why would someone want wealth in order to enjoy doing a regular job? In today's episode, Karl explores how perceived security dominates human behavior and why the communal campfire and drum circle is the ultimate manifestation of human happiness and wellbeing. Can we take a shortcut and reach that state today of being today?

E13 – Berlin Filth

Karl ventures into the underbelly of Berlin. After some time there, he coins the saying, “In Berlin, it’s weirder to care about shit on the street than to actually shit on the street,” all while recording this very episode from a parking lot outside the Ostbahnhof Terminal on a rainy day.

E12 – FOMO

Karl meditates on what FOMO means (fear of missing out) while baking inside the hot firetruck, pondering if it is a guide or a distractor. Does FOMO bring him where he needs to be? Or does it simply cause him to miss the present, where life actually happens?

E11 – Fear and Loathing in the Netherlands

Karl spends what felt like weeks — but was probably just days — in the Netherlands. The country is intense, and Karl decides to return to Belgium to soak up its culture a bit more. Recorded on the side of the road in the sun, this episode is a stream of consciousness filled with observations on what makes the Netherlands the Netherlands.

E10 – Rest Stop

This episode was recorded between E08 – I Could Never Live in France and E09 – Belgian Blue. It never got released, so here it comes now. It was recorded on a rest stop between France and Belgium, somewhere in France along the toll roads. Karl had spent so much time on the toll roads that he was beginning to feel like he was stuck in a liminal space—the endless in-between where the purpose is to arrive and not to stop and ponder.
