Modern Wisdom

Jesse Michels is a YouTuber and show host, exploring subjects like UFOs, consciousness, and reality.

For nearly a century, UFOs have captured our imagination as one of humanity’s greatest mysteries. Are they secret technology, alien visitors, or something else entirely? Who is behind them, what has been concealed, and what has been revealed about them? After decades of unanswered questions, are we any closer to uncovering the truth about these unknown objects in the sky?

Expect to learn why learning about UFOs is maladaptive to some people, how we know if UFOs are real or just a psy-op, if there are underground hidden bases with aliens scattered across the US, the connection with UFO sightings and nuclear sites, if UFOs might be just man made crafts or if there are other unknown technologies at play, if there is any evidence for antigravity currently and where it might come from, and much more…

#981 - MacKenzie Price - Alpha School: A New Approach To Education

David Pinsof is a research scientist at UCLA, co-creator of Cards Against Humanity, and an author.

Everything is bullshit. Your opinions, your arguments, even your thoughts. Most of it’s manufactured, borrowed, or absorbed without question. So if all that’s fake, what’s real? And if we can’t trust our own minds, or anyone else’s, what can we trust?

Expect to learn how we can use incentives more efficiently and how to look at incentives more accurately, if other-thinking and worrying is complete bullshit, why we have opinions, and if our preferences are just even more bullshit, why arguing is bullshit, why most arguments are actually pseudo arguments, why so much advice mostly bullshit and why we take it and why we give it, and much more…

Spencer Greenberg is a mathematician, founder, CEO & creator of ClearerThinking.org

James Bloodworth is a journalist reporting on working-class life and society, podcaster, and an author.

The manosphere isn’t what you think. Even though it is often labeled as toxic and extreme, the truth is a bit more complicated. So what’s really going on with men, dating, and masculinity as of today?

Expect to learn what the current state of the “manosphere” is, what constitutes being a part of it and what most people get wrong about it, what the rise and fall of the pickup community tell us about what men actually want versus what they’ve been told they should want, why the manosphere got harder and more political as started to grow, why gyms now serve as sanctuaries for disempowered men, what a truly male-inclusive progressive politics would look like, and much more…

#975 - James Bloodworth - The Manosphere, Pickup Culture & Male Loneliness

Joe Folley is a philosopher, writer, and host of the Unsolicited Advice YouTube channel.

Philosophy has a way of finding us in one form or another, sometimes in a book, sometimes in a moment of crisis. Thinkers like Nietzsche and Camus have helped shape how we see life, death, and everything in between. But can these ideas truly help us live better, or are we just dressing up our confusion in big words?

Expect to learn why so many people are attracted to the idea of existential philosophy and why its so seductive and alluring, why we have an obsession with the idea of authenticity, the ideas and works of Nietzsche and his philosophy, if existentialism aligns with religion or if it is anti-God in nature, what the great philosophers like Camus believe about romance, if there is such a thing as too much reflection, and much more…

Nick Bare is the founder of Bare Performance Nutrition, an endurance racer, YouTuber and a podcaster.
Being consistently good will beat being occasionally great. But consistency is hard to find when life throws setbacks, business failures, injuries and babies at you. However, Nick has found a way to balance everything and today we get to discover how.
Expect to learn why doubters shouldn't affect your performance, why Go One More is a useful rule for everything in life, how Nick avoids burnout when juggling lots of projects, where the drive to get up at 5am every day comes from, how gut instinct can beat brain-power and much more...
