My brother turned me onto Adam Gordon Bell's Corecursive. https://corecursive.com Fantastic.

I wish I was more like AGB. He's very good at adopting the worldview of the guest on their terms. Whereas I still have the toxic habit of compiling all the ways I disagree, instead of really listening. So I'm really enjoying how much AGB is stretching me.

In totally different way, I'm also getting a lot out of 5x5's Critical Path. Very unpolished, long winded, but somehow works. http://5by5.tv/criticalpath

Podcasts have done a lot to get me out of my filter bubble.

I now regularly learn (of, about, from) people I would have never bothered with previously.

And some of the curation value add has greatly expanded my horizons by bubbling up people I would have never discovered on my own.

Ezra Klein's interview of Grover Norquist is a master class on building a movement.

Ben Shapiro's interview of Ezra Klein was a master class on constructive disagreement.

Eric Weinstein's interview of James O'Keefe was both illuminating and infuriating. (Come one guys, you're not the first to discover "journalism".)

Ezra Klein's interview of Rebecca Solnit blew my @#$!! mind. Really put a lot of my past experiences into a whole new light.

I started binging on Philosophy with No Gaps podcast after Klein's interview of Madeline Miller. (Their comparison of comic superheroes to ancient myths is nerd paradise.)

I wanted to punch the asphalt during Lex Fridman's interview of Jack Dorsey. (Explains Square's success is due to their novel strategies for identity and authentication, but then says nothing about Twitter's utter rejection of those traits.)

Of course, Joe Rogan. Wow, I really reject the worldview of about 25% of his guests, grrr. But I've also learned so much. Dr Patrick Rhonda and others. I've been struggling to get out of a post surgery rut, so I just rewatched the David Goggins episodes and clips, which I imagine is helping me.

Lastly, Philosophy Tube is about the best thing ever. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2PA-AKmVpU6NKCGtZq_rKQ Like other geniuses said of Feymann "Often you think, 'Oh, I could have thought of that if I was a bit smarter. But with Feymann, you couldn't ever imagine coming up with his insights.'".
