About this episode

This episode explores a cognitive technique to dissolve the fear of death using local AI technology.

Download the ebook here: https://www.amazon.com/How-Run-Your-OWN-I-ebook/dp/B0FHG3P3QN With help from local AIs, we’ve been refining a simple cognitive technique that can begin to dissolve the deeply ingrained Western fear of death. No metaphysics, no faith required, just a shift in perspective. In this episode, we walk through the idea step by step and explore why it works psychologically, not just philosophically. We also run a live demo of Gemma 4, a local AI system that, even five or six years ago, would have felt completely science fiction. The broader question: what happens when tools like this become widely available, not just for productivity, but for reshaping how we think about life, death, and meaning?
