Summary
This solo episode starts with a celebration of the new year, 2026! I talk about time passing, aging, and the prospect of another year around the flaming hot ball in space. We're taking stock of what still matters, where things are headed, and how perspectives shift as the calendar turns. I then walk through a recent post by Gurwinder on X . It’s a thread of useful concepts designed to equip people for 2026. I spend time unpacking each idea and discussing how we can apply these mental frameworks to real life, decision-making, and navigating an increasingly distracted world. I also talk about other topics, such as NGO grift and government corruption, Somali fraud in Minnesota, the collapse of trust in corporate media, artificial intelligence, the dangers of weaponized government power, and much more.
