Can Memory be Trusted?

What if I told you that our memory is just as flawed? Memory is this thing we all rely upon, is used as evidence and is meant to record our existence and experience. What if it’s unreliable? What if it doesn’t remember things right? What if it deletes things? What if it edits things? Or finally, even scarier than all these previous questions: What if other people can edit and manipulate it? If you’d like to read this instead of listening to it, you can find a written version here. I’ve been running Learned-ish for just over 6 months now. I’m trying to gather feedback on how things are going and how I can keep improving what I’m doing.

The Body: A Guide for Occupants

When I think about the human body, I marvel at its complexity. There’s so much going on within it that when functioning well, it allows us as humans to do so many things and experience this crazy life we all get. It’s a marvel of creation, and something I imagine that most of us don’t fully understand. If you’d like to read this, instead of listening to it, you can find a written version here.

Why are we never satisfied?

I have a question for you. Why are we (humans) never satisfied? Why is it that many, if not all of us, no matter how good life can be at times, carry this niggling feeling of is this it? Why is it that when we achieve our goals, we then want more, so that as we buy new things, they are never enough? Why are these feelings of contentment, pleasure or gratification so fleeting? Why do we have a thirst in us that never seems to be satisfied? If you’d like to read this, instead of listening to it, you can find a written version here.

Why Didn't I think of That? The Power of Diversity of Thought

A few years ago, I read this brilliant book called Rebel Ideas by Matthew Syed. This book examines the power of what Syed describes as ‘cognitive diversity’, basically a diverse range of thoughts, ideas and opinions, and it explains how in our complicated and modern world we cannot rely on individuals’ ideas, or just the thoughts of those similar to us. He argues that instead, the best organisations, teams and projects need a diverse range of knowledge, experience and ways of thinking to create a collective intelligence that overcomes the world’s most pressing challenges.

Why you're thinking about failure all wrong

Failure is inescapable, and the way we understand it and react to it can drastically change its impact on our lives. We can dread it, fear it and avoid it. Leaving us frozen and regretful, stopping us from fully living life, becoming who we want to be and achieving our goals. Or, we can embrace it, understanding it’s part of the process, and learn from it - letting it inspire and drive us towards greatness.

Why do humans tell stories?

We all tell stories. They are built into human nature. But why? We’ll explore the origins of our storytelling, the power of mirror neurons in storytelling, and how stories are needed to make sense of a confusing world.

What is a gut feeling? How trustworthy are they?

Have you ever experienced that sinking feeling, a tightening in your stomach that just screams at you, saying, ‘something’s wrong here!’ Or have you ever been asked a question, or put in a situation where you have to make a decision, and instinctively you just know the answer or what you need to do? You don’t know where it’s come from, but something inside of you just gave you the answer and a good feeling about it? Those moments can be described as gut feelings; we all experience them, and when we understand them more, they can be one of the most useful tools we have as humans.
