to have "taste" you must "taste" everything

what would be a good name for a podcast?

assuming the podcast would be something like this channel

inner world and peace talks, general societal trends and observations, and all things interesting in life

a curation of interesting reads and concepts, in hopes of making an impact no matter how small

courage to risk it all by telling the truth everyday

humblespace,
mumblespace,
commonplace conversations

feels like these three are the best contenders so far

we're heading toward a "posting zero" world, where people stop posting to compete against the chaos happening on social media feeds

This is the logical endpoint of a frictionless society: when every external stimulation is instantly available, people are left with nowhere to turn but inward, and what do we find? Emptiness. The unending stream of content hasn't filled the void; it's simply distracted us from developing the internal resources to cope with it.

the removal of friction is leading us headfirst, in the words of Stuart Whatley, to a society that is bored to death - leaving us vulnerable to toxic and damaging ideologies:

“There are two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.”

— Oscar Wilde

this is something i’ve been sharing around as well

i’ve read/listened to plenty of deathbed/elderly interviews and the answers mostly fall into a small bucket

it’s never “i wished i worked harder/ earned more money/ bought that house”, but its

- i wish i spent more time w loved ones
- i wish i took action
- i wish i took care of myself better
- i wish i cherished life more
- i wish i stopped being afraid

and ive always found it so fascinating how millions of different and unique people all eventually converge into the same talking points nearing heaven’s door

it’s something most people know, yet have not internalised

which is why i always try to live by the motto of fearing regret more than failure

i rather fail than sit in the regrets of “what if” for the rest of my life

i still succumb to fears and distractions at times, but i guess that’s life - a constant work in progress
