    Making Friends With The Matrix

    Making Friends With The Matrix

    In this SEASON FINALE I share how you can't outwit the universe, but you can outwit the matrix! In this episode I break down a different way to view what the "matrix" is so it's less creepy and surprisingly... more helpful.

    This episode is for you if:


    You want a brief understanding of how you were automatically born in a world that expects you to work and pay bills and what to do about it now.

    You want to learn which 3 computers you need to program to make the matrix work for you.

    You want a philosophical interpretation that might actually make you appreciate of the meaning of order, institution and civilization.

    How To Create More Space In Your Life (The Key To Unbotherdness) 

    In this episode I break down the philosophical concept of “space’ according to western-tech philosophy and how we got to a point of completely abandoning it in our minds, our lives and our calendars.

    This episode is for you if:


    You want to learn how the western interpretation of “negativity” spun out of control and made us hate all things associated with the unknown which resulted in us being afraid of making space.


    You want to learn the specific benefits and uses of space that provide deeper meaning in life.


    You want a relaxing reminder about how much peace extra space can bring to your life.

    Are Millennials 'The Dumbest Generation’?

    Are Millennials 'The Dumbest Generation’?

    Today millennials are old news, but there was a time when our behavior and online activity was on everyone's mind and the world had a lot of opinions about what kind of people we would turn out to be. In this episode I explore some of the critique made about our generation while we were still in adolescence and how some of it in hindsight might have been terrifying and undeniably true.

    This episode is for you if:


    You care about how the comprehension gaps between you and your younger siblings or children will impact your relationship and ability to protect them.


    You want to hear the funny and sad statistics about how literacy rates declined right in front of our eyes and the internet took over.


    You want a better understanding of how "generations" actually form and how that's connected to tech-philosophy.

My Kind of Genius

I love this show! The stream of consciousness and all the gems, all the facts, and then the creative and innovative thought is what does it for me. Alex also isn’t afraid to state her unpopular opinions and of all the podcasts I listen to this one makes me think the most.

Please create more episodes!!

You are by far the most interesting woman to listen to. Your podcast episodes are a breath of fresh air in an otherwise bleak world construct. You are very wise and I want to continue learning from you!

Reviewer00067 ,

Unlike anything I’ve come across yet

I was starting to feel bored with podcasts and randomly came across this one and I’m pleasantly surprised every episode. Alex’s take on such general, broad topics are super insightful and thought invoking. I feel like this podcast is great at highlighting just how many ways you can think of one thing. Her story is also pretty cool. Listen from the beginning! Highly recommend!
