Episode notes

i was going to ask whether libertarian believes, i have some libertarian beliefs that i think relly would be contram my people. Like, is it even controversial to say that all drugs should be legalized and regulated? You know, i think you should stick to your pro eugenic position. Yes, i think so il even be willing to say that thata, large part intelligence is iritable. Why don't we do why don't we talk about floe wednevent say what? We're the son of man tobe, the worst, most ramblyover youd ad it.

David and Tamler lose themselves in Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s (pr. ‘chick sent me high’) classic paper on the concept of flow. We talk about the features of flow activities – loss of ego, the merging of your awareness with the activity, and autotelic (not what you think) enjoyment. What makes flow activities so rewarding? Do you need to develop skills over many years to experience them? Do easy and natural social interactions count as flow?

Plus as men of pure virtue, we call an audible and choose not to make fun of a recent paper (with a student as lead author). Instead we pilot a not fully formed idea: “Substack Starters." Now that the economy is tanking, do we have any heterodox beliefs that might lead to profitable Substacks?
