dinosaurs and dictatorships
About this episode
This episode explores themes of projection, detachment, and self-reflection through personal anecdotes and philosophical musings.
From dinosaur documentaries to a TSA encounter that became an analogy for friendship, this week's episode helped me understand that everything is kind of a projection. i talk about living out of a suitcase, missing my flight, and falling down a rabbit hole of evolution, extinction, and how nothing we think is permanent actually is. then i get into people, why we get so triggered by certain traits in others, and how most of what we feel is just a reflection of something in us. this one is really about detachment, perspective, and realizing not everything is as personal as it feels. as always, love u
