The place to withdrawal interest-bearing ideas! Your host Stephen Grossman will take the words, ideas, and human behavior we so often invest heavily in and will convert them into totally unsecured Thought Loans which listeners are free to borrow . . . for a small fee, of course. We are a bank after all. A "like", sharing the podcast with others, and any and all positive and respectful contributions to a thought-provoking discussion count as repayment of the Thought Loan. Enjoy. And remember: Banks are people too!

    COVID-19 at 19

    What will life be like 19 years after COVID-19? In Episode 7 of THOUGHT Bank we look at life almost twenty years later when we swear off intimacy and swear by soap. It's all about trying to keep a sense of humor during this crisis, staying healthy, staying connected (remotely), staying home and flattening the curve!

    Grow Down

    In an age of social media gurus and algorithms telling us to dumb down our content in order to build up readers and an audience, what would Shakespeare sound like today? Has Dumb and Dumber become to smart for us to laugh at? In this episode, THOUGHT Bank explores the stupid notion of dumbing down or Growing Down.

    Popsicles & Purple Dildos

    A disturbingly growing number of tourists descend on historic places like carrion-eating birds picking clean a city's cultural heritage as if it were junk food. You can’t miss these selfish selfie obsessed vultures. They are the ones taking pictures of themselves, not the historic sites behind them.

    Sniff Test

    We learned to grasp the internet and rock our lives with it in just 20 years, but for more than 200,000 years as modern humans we still struggle to comprehend and to live normally with one another. Learn the simplest method for understanding and dealing with your fellow human!

    Dieting on Diets

    2,333 hours a month or more just of podcasts pushing one diet or another. Clearly we eat more food than we digest knowledge! Though we seem to have an insatiable appetite to digest intellectual carbs about the best way to stop eating carbs (or to eat more carbs, depending who’s your social media guru). In Episode 3 of THOUGHT Bank, we take a look at the absurdity of eating and dieting trends.

    Social Media Sherpas

    Tune in to an Anti-Motivational Motivational Speech. We need a Sherpa to guide us up the treacherous Himalayan Mountains; but do we really need self-professed Social Media Sherpas (motivational speakers, life coaches, Youtube influencers etc) to guide us through life? In Episode 2, THOUGHT Bank explores the power of self-awareness and the powerful forces of manipulation and linguistic trickery.

    Genius

    Are we sure everything that we call genius is really genius? Because some things designated these days as "genius" seem pretty stupid. In this first episode of Thought Bank, we have a rethink about words and meaning.
