    Episode 7 - The Turkic Episode (or the Greatest Story Ever Told)

    (The actual episode starts at 4:30) Hello, dear listeners. After roughly a year without a real podcast episode, I come before you with the longest episode in Thinking Lounge history: the Turkic Episode. This isn't the episode you want, but it is certainly the episode you NEED! I am joined with my good friend Alisdair and in it, he discusses all things Turkic. From Turkic culture, to the Ottoman Empire, to modern Turkic scholars. This is about as niche as you can get when it comes to podcast episodes. I highly advise you listen to this as it is definitely the best episode ever.

    ATD #23 - The Human Condition

    I take a stab at the human condition. In this, I talk about evil, humanity, complexities, mental health, and what it means to be a human being. It's very...esoteric, I believe. A lot of what I said may or may not resonate with you personally, but I'd still recommend giving it a listen. If nothing else, I can at least tell you how I feel about all of this. Personally one of my favorite ATD's I've recorded.

    ATD #21 - Why Ain't We Authentic?

    Today, I decided I'd try to answer why it feels like we aren't genuine anymore in the most genuine way possible. I claim that it is because our culture is one of slop, irony, and fear. This is definitely one of the better ATDs I've dropped so far (top 3 imo). Give it a listen if any of this sounds remotely interesting.

    ATD #20 - Do you have aura?

    Once again, I've decided to do another episode on aura. This time, I question what it means to have aura and if YOU (yes, you) have aura at all. Give it a listen if you're thinking about your aura. Or if you just wanna listen to something interesting.

    ATD #19 - Being Decent is Easy

    A less esoteric and thought out episode today. I kinda rant about why we aren't decent anymore and why that sucks. Also, I have two guests on this episode too! So, you should definitely listen to it. (in a cargo box?)

    ATD #18 - Your Sense of Self

    Even though school's starting back up, I'm still here doing ATD. We're gonna be consistent. For today's episode, I talk about things like peer pressure, knowing yourself, individuality, and other things along that line. I'm sure most of you all can apply this to yourself, so I hope you enjoy it! Also, we're on apple podcasts now! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-thinking-lounge/id1835140240

    ATD #17 - Rules of Game

    Essentially, it's the rizz episode all over again. If you're here for advice, a laugh, or for some insight into my brain, you'll enjoy my 26 rules of game.
