720. How to Think Better in a Noisy World – With Jonny Thomson

What does it mean to think clearly in a world full of noise?

Philosopher Jonny Thomson joins me for a rich conversation about thinking, meaning, and the messiness of being human. We explore how to sharpen reasoning without becoming robotic, why nuance matters more than ever, and how philosophy can help us live—not just argue.

Jonny shares insights from teaching thousands of students, writing for millions, and trying to bring ancient ideas into the chaos of modern life. We touch on cognitive biases, self-awareness, education, internet culture, and the risk of oversimplifying everything into slogans.
