The Examined Life Khe Hy
-
- Education
Here’s a scary fact about adulthood. We stop asking questions. We lose the playful curiosity and creativity that we had as children. And it’s a shame. Questions are gateways to our deepest desires, insecurities and dreams. Reflecting on a deep question takes us one step closer to a life well-lived. Each week, we’ll ponder and debate one of life’s thorniest questions. We’ll explore ambition, careers, money, relationships, productivity and psychology — all in the pursuit of living an Examined Life.

How do I get started with AI? [Dan Shipper]
Do you feel like AI is a solution in search of a problem? I used to feel the same way. ChatGPT was basically a glorified search engine for me. I'd ask it things like "how do I make the fluffiest pancakes?" But after talking to AI expert Dan Shipper, I realized I was just scratching the surface. Dan showed me how to use AI to negotiate with vendors, understand dense books, compress information into tweets and so much more. [Episode 51]

Do you belong in an open relationship? [Suzi Sosa]
5% of Americans are in open relationships. I used to think that this world was for hot 20-somethings frolicking around house parties. Whether it’s open marriages, swinging or polyamory — the taboo is lifting and trend is definitely coming to a gentrified neighborhood near you. What’s most fascinating? For these relationships to succeed, you need a strong sense of self, the streak of non-conformity and deep trust in your partner. [Episode 47]
Suzi Sosa is a serial entrepreneur.

What are psychedelics like? [Khe Hy]
My wife and I did a guided psychedelic journey together. It was fully-assisted and we put on sleeping masks and went inward. It showed me so much about my emotional distancing, inner critic, people pleasing tendencies and why deep inside I’m nothing but a squishy loveball.
