The biggest factor in humanity levelling up over time has been Christianity. There isn't much of a desire for that these days though.

@narunoir9767 Жыл бұрын

@@SMacCuUladh It was just morphed into social groups. World of warcraft guilds, discord servers, Facebook groups. They all offer a similar life reward. People are social and enjoy groups of others who are doing the same things . The church used to be the general community center. But through scandal and greed many people lost all their trust in said churches. The idea is still solid, worship life, a deity, and the general greatness of humanity. But the church must also accept that life has changed a LOT since its peak. Mostly for the better, but not all. People could certainly use a group that they could trust to actually be helpful to the community, understanding, honest, and a source of inspiration.

About redesigning society/technology: as long as centralization of doing things is the paradigm, things will continue to spiral downward. The reason that is true is centralization puts control in the hands of fewer and fewer people and that is counterproductive. There is less chance of competent control. We need to find decentralized ways of getting things done. The more people in control, the better the potential outcome because of the increased chance of competent people in control.

Hello All Great podcast! Much appreciated Under the Learning segment, Liv mentioned that she used one Physics textbook during her university years that she found to be very helpful. Did anyone pick up the name of that book? Or just happens to know it? Really appreciate your help and thanks in advance

I have a powerful intuition and can see things in my mind before they happen by having a feeling about a situation. What do you think about intuition? I have learnt that the most fleeting thought is the most powerful predictor of anything.

I love that you said that the biggest lessons were from life not school. I’ve done both and I was the first in all generations to finish high school and college. Higher Education was a mystery to me. I found that my father was right. You can learn all you need to learn in a library. I’m still grateful to have my education. However, I do believe, my main education came from being a service worker, a life watcher and my traveling. Xo

Yes, a person can definitely improve themselves in the Library, and I understand that the current meme is that college degrees are worthless, but I think the knowledge I got in Engineering school far surpasses the knowledge that I just randomly picked up in the past 30 years, and I think it would have been difficult to master the subjects I learned in college in the local library. Also.many, many jobs are not even approachable without a degree. If you have a college degree and no job, your degree is Philosophy or Literature.

What did you background in at university and what do you mean by service worker, if I may ask

@Lultschful Жыл бұрын

I'd say the biggest lessons are at the intersection between books and life. When you confront what you've learned from education with how life is. I never understood why people would want to oppose them. Both are useful.

@@Lultschful Of course education is not the end of it. But I think Education and Relevant Experience is the combination you are looking for. A fresh MD is a doctor, but I bet you do not want them doing your brain surgery yet. Also, I am old and have a lot of "Life Experience," and yet you better not let me do your brain surgery either.

GREAT podcast (as always) Lex! At one point early on, Ms. Boeree mentioned that she utilized ONE physics text over all the rest while attaining her Physics degree. Said it was extremely comprehensive, and covered everything. Could you please reach out to her and provide us with the title, author(s), and edition for this text my good man? I LOVE skipping the time, energy, and financial cost of formal university education when possible.

On twitter she said it's Sears and Zemansky's University Physics 10th edition. Being British she probably 1st studied A Level Physics by Roger Muncaster.

Nice listen. Although so far on a smaller scale prize wise, I've got the same hard-to-explain feel like, this is my tournament! and gone on to win... Listening to certain music, or doing a certain meditation that sparks that feeling - like today I'm going to fing crush this! drop a tear or two, a little gratitude to the great unknown, and go in there own that sh... Thanks for the cast!
