26 – Daniele Bolelli and Southpaw Explain Everything PLUS American Plains Tribes
Manage episode 232556085 series 2454418
We initially met up with historian and philosopher Daniele Bolelli to discuss the Lakota people and other Plains tribes, but naturally our conversation expanded into modern individualism, practical intellect, disdain for variety, narrative thinking & bad mental health, happiness, community, what constitutes a tribe, nationalism, conservative post-modern utopian thinking, morality & religion expressed through politics, lose-lose situations (screwing over the world and still being unhappy), living on autopilot, lazy thinking, centrism, sh*tposting, social media toxicity creating addiction, Taoism & thinking in percentages (Bayesian reasoning), game theory, absolute thinking IS dogma (even when you think splitting it down the middle is always the right answer), the mixed mental arts of mixed martial arts, podcasts & continued education, and then more about American Plains tribes.
It's a long podcast but we sincerely feel like not one second was wasted. And though we veered into nearly everything, we believe what we ended up recording will go down in podcasting history as pretty good. Pretty, pretty, pretty good.
