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.

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.

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
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
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.
