Rethinking video games with Ash Brandin

17 Jan

Big fan of the show, recently listened to Ash Brandin episode and it was mind blowing to say the least. I confess, I’m guilty as charged parent and was blinded sided by the stereotypes of the topics until… well now. Our teenage kid is into games it keeps him engaged and connected with close mates, played a vital role especially during Covid lockdown. He’s doing really well at school with high grades and top performers awards. I guess all three video games laws of attraction applies to him to a certain degree. However, relatedness must be the one, with his friends and school mates. Ironically, video games played a vital role in shaping who am I today. I learnt English to load and play games, taught myself coding to get more out of my computer and even publish basic codes before even going to school. Glad I stumbled across this episode, eye opening and timely.
RE: Should leaders be feared or loved?

I have great respect for Adam, his work, and this podcast—it’s consistently insightful and engaging. But Niall Ferguson’s performance here was excruciating. His painfully affected accent aside, the way he painted Glasgow as some monolithic, provincial, angry, and violent backwater was not only reductive but out of touch. He hasn’t lived there for decades, yet he droned on as if he were still walking its streets daily, a self-appointed expert on the city’s soul. Then there was his bizarre anecdote about throwing a chair at a student whose work supposedly “wasn’t up to scratch.” He even boasted about teaching Sacha Baron Cohen at university but admitted he wouldn’t have thrown a chair at him because “he’s at least a foot taller.” So, we’re left to assume the unfortunate recipient of his chair-throwing bravado was someone smaller, weaker, and less likely to defend themselves. The whole thing felt more like a strange flex than a meaningful reflection, leaving a sour taste in what could have been a valuable discussion.
It’s absolutely mind blowing!

This podcast is so educational, fun and invites to Rethink! Reading Adam’s books I couldn’t imagine how much everything should be questioned. Listening to podcasts and especially lightning rounds is so exciting and the live shows are absolutely hilarious, so much fun, so much information so many different points of view. It’s a very healthy podcast to listen to and have courage to Rethink, reflect and consider a more open minded view.
Very good podcast
