    #14 Killing God a Second Time: The Death of Truth and Trust

    This essay starts with a simple question: how do we know what is true? In answering this I examine the collapse of trust in society alongside the rise of ideology as a substitute for rationalism. I argue that rationalism only works if we have the time and resources to enable it, and that these criteria are no longer being met. I posit that much as the Enlightenment killed God, we are watching it happen again. Rationalism is dying - the framework of truth we had is now breaking under the weight of volume, complexity, mistrust and ideology. What happens when rationalism fails? What happens when we kill God a second time?

    #13 You Don't Have Thoughts, You Only Have Feelings with Nick Shackleton-Jones

    You only have feelings. This is the paradigm argued for by Nick Shackleton Jones. Nick is the author of the book How People Learn, which offers an entirely new model for learning and cognition which he thinks can massively improve performance, learning, and education.   Nick is many things - he is an author, a speaker, a philosopher, a psychology lecturer, and has worked in both the academic and corporate worlds, including time at the BBC, Deloitte, PA consulting and others in positions centred around learning and innovation. He's a rare individual. I had so much fun talking to him. We talk about his ideas, philosophy, neuroscience, how best to learn, consciousness and AI, among many other things . There's a lovely mix of practical and intellectual stuff here, so I think there's something for everyone - please enjoy.   You can also find a video version of this podcast here: https://youtu.be/UdD6sbBeer4 TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 01:22 You don't have thoughts, you only have feelings 04:36 The philosophical foundations 06:10 But what about maths? 10:16 What does "think rationally" really mean? 15:06 What is philosophy driven by? 17:49 Mandatory Stoicism dig 20:19 Nietzsche's point 21:44 Memory Champions 23:25 The Affective Context Model 26:59 Definitions of Memory and Learning 30:43 School doesn't help learning 37:33 Education reform 43:17 Why does everyone have to get along? 46:59 What's the difference using Nick's approach? 54:32 Making yourself care about what you need to learn about 57:37 We talk about World of Warcraft for a bit 01:03:42 Video games and Learning Design 01:06:37 Won't we just end up with Minecraft experts? 01:15:34 Advice for teachers 01:18:00 Should we rethink what intelligence is? 01:23:38 The problem of language 01:28:46 The AI question 01:33:29 What will technology be doing with us 10,000 years from now? 01:34:57 Does AI inevitably make us dumber? 01:40:39 How does Nick avoid nihilism?? 01:44:29 Pessimistic Meta-Induction 01:47:22 A joke about behaviourism  01:49:32 Does reality exist independently of our feelings? 01:54:58 What is Nick unsure of? 01:58:59 Why can't we create LLM's that have feelings? 02:03:34 Geniuses are affectation geniuses 02:05:49 Nietzsche's comedic life 02:12:08 What evidence could disprove Shackleton's paradigm? 02:18:09 Combating bad ideas online 02:25:28 Bad role models 02:30:15 The temptation of digital relationships for young men 02:32:09 The losing case for Reality 02:44:11 Where to find more of Nick's stuff For more of Nick: https://www.tiktok.com/@shackletonjones https://www.linkedin.com/in/shackletonjones/  His book is called "How People Learn: A New Model of Learning and Cognition to Improve Performance and Education" and can be found on Amazon and other booksellers For more of me: https://linktr.ee/Jacklawrence https://substack.com/@jacklawro https://www.instagram.com/jack.lawro/  https://www.tiktok.com/@jack.lawro

    #9 Adam Boro: From NASA and Aerospace to Adventure Filmmaking, and the Joy and Struggle of a Full Life.

    "I always wanted to have this big impact, and to work on something that's changing the world" My guest today is Adam Boro. Adam is a magnificent filmmaker, who currently has over half a million followers on TikTok. You may have seen some of his mega viral videos, which include taking a girl to the north pole for a first date, randomly travelling to a desert oasis or his adventures in Machu Picchu.  Prior to his recent infamy, Adam studied aerospace engineering, interned at NASA, and was even involved with YES Theory. Adam is a fascinating character, who for me seems to embody a kind of carpe diem philosophy - hell bent on living life to the fullest, and improving the lives of others in the process.  But he wasn't always this way, and in this interview he is remarkably open about his struggles with anxiety, the challenges of being an online creator, and the various road bumps he's encountered on the journey to getting to where he is today. And all of this is done knowing full well that he's in the very early stages of his creative life. We get into all of this and more in this wonderful conversation.  If you're someone who is curious about getting started in filmmaking, creating videos online, or can even relate to the feeling of not quite  having found your crowd yet, I think you'll take something away from this conversation. Adam is awesome, I think he's someone to keep an eye on in the years to come. Follow Adam on Instagram/TikTok: @adamboro Follow me on Instagram/TikTok: @jack.lawro Patreon: patreon.com/jacklawrence
