The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish

I saw this podcast come up in my feed . It caught my attention as I am also going thru the online / dating scene . I appreciate the insight from Logan on all aspects of dating. I really respect the openness which Shane displayed with his own personal situation. It resonated very much with me . Thanks to the both of you.

I was a fan but I can’t take the risk at hearing the cringy corporate jargon in my free time.. taking a break

While this podcast used to be pretty good, recent efforts to ramp up the auditory appeal are try-hard and annoying. This is especially prominent in the Outliers series, where Shane’s overwhelming effort to sound lively is exhausting and too full of effort for his natural range. Also, anytime the guest has a psychology background, the episode is basically, “ listen to Shane get free therapy about all his and only his problems” which is awkward and boring.

Shane Parrish is another tech-bro who thinks he has all the answers for all of us. He says it's time to "listen and learn" but he really means "listen and admire me for smart questions my team has written for me". He truly is a lost soul who wishes to be a) best dad, b) best tech entepreneur with a six-pack, c) Warren Buffett/Charlie Munger, d) stoic sage. The podcast is a fascinating collection of him cozying up to his guests from those four categories. Listen if you want a deep insight into the inner turmoils of a man who wants to be all that but knows that he will never be any of those. Newsflash, no-one can be all of that, and if you think and try to be all of that, you will look like a Shane.
