Dismount

The hourglass keeps going no matter how many times you try to make it stop. So how to you make the most of every moment? How do you make every moment special without stressing over making everything perfect because time feels limited? How do you walk through life without looking at the time clock all the time and rushing yourself to the next activity trying to squeeze every last bit of experience out of every day? It is so easy for time to become a factor in everything we do. Society really p...

What a fancy buzz word…AWARENESS. How do you have something, observe it, and live it all at the same time? A concept of living life to the fullest is thrown around often. What if you could never fully be aware of how much you actually are living life to its fullest? What if you were always stuck blinded to the beauty of it all. How would you finally get to a place where you could be aware of it all? How long would it take you to break that loop? The gang sits down to discuss how they have spe...

With so many different ways to escape reality through video games and simulators, how do you keep the lines definitively drawn in the sand of which side you are on at any given moment? There is a simulator for just about anything now a days, you can choose to step into a world where you can immerse yourself into whatever your heart can desire. We don't want to attack any of these as being ridiculous but let's just state that if you want to live as a goat, you can, that's how deep we have gott...

Life as we know it, is all about growth. It’s a difficult path for any organism to come into this world (If not now, at some point it was). We share the same journey with all organisms; we experience struggles and tribulations to advance our DNA and our Selves. The wonderful thing about human beings is our ability to adapt through evolution, passing down knowledge and self-growth/maturation. Join the gang as they get vulnerable about their own personal growth. How deep do the guys dive ...

One moment can tarnish a lifetime of good deeds and sometimes other actions redeem one hundred transgressions. Day-to-day we face what feels like a million thoughts, hundreds of behaviors, but our actions define us to our audience. We have our own spotlight that we self-consciously monitor (or don’t). It’s those daily choices that stack up and build the foundation of who we are. The gang gets together to talk about our personal characters. What defines us as individuals? What defines us to th...

Some of us grow up and some of us grow old? Where is the healthy middle ground? Do you need to grow up and if you don’t what does that look like for you? Are there man children and princesses running around you on a regular basis? Is there something actually worse that you experience often? Dismount cracks open the floor to discuss how we each have grown in some ways and stayed a kid in others. Ride along into 3 goobers heads, experiences, and lives on another authentic vulnerable personal ...

Geeezze, what a wide net we cast for ourselves! Stretch out before we jump into today's topic. Today, the guys are scratching the surface of empathy. How it is defined, how we understand it, and how to distinguish what it is not- Sympathy, Compassion and Apathy. We’ll also touch on empathy seen as a skill and our thoughts on empathy in animals. ================================================================= The Dismount Squad creates 6 questions to discuss on each episode. Everyone in th...

Whether you like it or not, Life is One Big Experiment! We’re constantly making observations, making assumptions/hypotheses (and calling them theories), collecting data, changing up variables and putting ourselves to the test. Often, our consistent behaviors produce a predictable behavior we can repeat over and over. We are in an age of information where one can not only do our research but have all of YouTube, Tik Tok, and Google’s worth of education to turn ourselves into refined machines. ...
