The Great Simplification podcast is not selling a product or a technology (unless you consider passing the baton on systems synthesis of the human predicament and the responses to it as ‘inner tech’).
Frankly Nate, I wouldn’t change a thing. Your podcast is all those counter-culture non-normative things you say it is. That’s what’s so good about it (in addition to your made-for-podcasting voice). Our culture is inundated with upbeat, simplistic, feel good entertainment. We don’t need more of that. We need to hear the truth about reality. We can handle the truth.
Thanks Nate, I didn’t know about the Stockdale Paradox and after processing that info (and looking it up) I’m convinced that you and your podcast exemplify its insightful explanation of how to cope in troubling times. It’s certainly the POV a that your podcast exemplifies! Your urge your listeners to not being overly pessimistic nor overly optimistic but embody a righteous amount of both by being a realist. I shall definitely pass this POV on to folks in my family and community.
