A Week Of Being Humbled (Episode #169 - Musings)

When was the last time that you were humbled in your day to day life? In this episode of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: Juan's changing opinion on free will and how he has been influenced by Sam Harris, the three levels of consciousness and why they matter, Juan's theory on how emotions are the basic motivation for every action we take, how I was repeatedly humbled this week (in a good way), people like JBP or Naval Ravikant who are unbelievable smart/clear thinkers, the 5 best thinkers (dead or alive) who we would invite over for dinner and the intense/full of glory (should be worshipped) humbleness that exudes from the Mere Mortals.

As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
