50 days into 75 Hard

Irritation As A Reframing Opportunity

As of recent I've been inundated in my part of the internet of people being irritated (or triggered in gen z speak) expressing deep irritation e.g. with tax reform. First it is easy for me to notice irritation in others as opposed to myself (self reflection is hard) and secondly, regardless of whether I was in (partial) agreement or not with their viewpoints, I found this to be rather ugly. Having recently read the 'Art of Happiness' by the Dalai Lama I reflect in this episode on situations where I have been the one who has been irritated and take this as an opportunity to reframe these irritations.

This is simply me in my apartment reflecting on my experience of eviction as I empty my apartment, packed up my belongings (approximately 2 Mitsubishi lancers worth of possessions) and meet (some) neighbours for the first and last time.

Impermanence As A Tool For Happiness

Being aware of impermanence is often cause for misery but in this episode I reflect on why it should be a reminder to be grateful for the good whilst it lasts and hopeful when times are tough.

The Loneliness Epidemic: Why You Need To Be Proactive, More Forgiving And Apply Game Theory To Beat It

As we've gotten older I've noticed that in many of the social networks of my friends (male in particular) have become a shell of what they used to be. Whilst this could be a quality over quantity scenario, and this is arguably part of the reason, I see something else far more destructive is that many are falling into what is described as 'The Loneliness Epidemic'. In a world where we feel connected by the mirage created through the digital world many of us often feel less connected than ever because digital connection is a poor substitute for connection another human in real life. In this episode I reflect on a number of social gatherings I've recently hosted, my observations of social dynamics over the last 10-15 years and how I think we ought to apply game theory to our networks rather than the default tit-for-tat strategy so many of us fall into.
