    Nov 26 2024
    Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating world of cognitive science, AI, and the crisis of meaning with our special guest, philosopher and cognitive scientist John Vervaeke. Join us as we explore the transformative powers of psychedelics, the concept of epistemic vulnerability, and the critical need for the 'Four S's' in psychedelic experiences. We’ll also tackle the implications of the meaning crisis, drawing parallels with historical contexts like the Hellenistic period, and discuss potential solutions through an ecology of practices rooted in ancient wisdom. John shares his insights on AI, the complexity of bias-variance trade-offs, and the inherent challenges of relevance realization. We delve into the nuanced relationship between rationality and intelligence, and how evolutionary principles can inform the development of more insightful AI systems.

    Nov 23 2024
    Do you believe that starting a business with nothing is possible? The American Dream is typically defined as the idea that the opportunity of achieving your highest aspirations is possible for anyone willing to put in the work. Jay Samit, laid out his case and experiment for this very idea in his latest book, Future Proofing You. Glenn Stearns, producer and star of the Discovery show, Undercover Billionaire, put himself to the test with $100, no contacts, no help, and just 90 days to build a million dollar business because he deeply believes the American Dream is still alive and possible. Although the playing field is not equal for everyone in every opportunity, it is still possible. Glenn’s story is shocking and relatable for many because his honesty and vulnerability shows that attitude and belief are still king in how you decide to live your life and make moves.
