Human beings possess the ability to impact the world around us through simply applying our minds. The problem is that we usually apply linear thinking to a non-linear world; so imagine the possibilities if we simply Curve our Thoughts and then see what happens.

    Curved Thought Episode 8 - Soul for sale! The ANC at the Crossroads

    So for today we delve into the race to the summit of the ANC. The players involved, the strategies deployed and the possible outcomes of the ANC Elective Conference to elect new ANC leadership.

    Also discussed was the newly published book 'Kill Zuma by any means necessary' by Gayton Mckenzie. Why I suspect the book is largely a farce and what it's publication tells us of the state of affaairs within the Status Quo faction of the ANC.

    Curved Thought Episode 7 - Mad Men

    Today I bring back my good friend Ndimphiwe Mayekiso to have the ever expanding conversation on gender relations in society. From MRA arguments and the mentality of the 'Good Guys' in society, to victim-blaming and why silence is complicity.


    Notes

    Jordan Peterson regarding sneaky men who identify as feminists

    Curved Thought Episode 6 - The Death of Nuance

    Curved Thought Episode 6 - The Death of Nuance

    Today I talk about how nuance seems to have flown the coop in recent years. We now deal almost exclusively in absolutes and moreover are unable to even see value in the words of those whom disagree with us.

    This binary thinking seems to be something which overrides even the best intentions, but it can be dealt with if we apply our minds correctly inwards. It's hard work but the payoff is almost always worth it.

    Curved Though Episode 5 - Being Yourself

    Curved Though Episode 5 - Being Yourself

    A discussion between myself and Richard Sjoberg [@DeMoNiKZA]

    Richard is a musician, video game journalist and gay man (which matters for the upcoming conversation).

    We discuss being yourself and the various forms that can take. Whilst acknowledging the ways the world tries to circumvent that process. This obviously touches upon religion, culture, societal norms as well as mere expectations from others.

    The fascinating TED talk that Richard references is found here:

    Curved Thought Episode 4 - Good without God

    There is something about morality that seems to lead back to an absolute source, so it is often difficult to separate moral decisions from our beliefs about their origins. I think I'll be talking about this for a while so this is sort of like the preamble.
