Max Distance https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2023/23Feb15_TT.mp3 Here’s a basic idea from geometry and physics. Think of this not in intuitive terms, but in mathematical terms. Suppose you’ve got a dude about to throw a baseball. The question is, at which angle will give him maximum distance? If he throws it straight up into the […]
Demon Killer
Scary Monsters https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2023/23Jan19_Post.mp3 I’m a huge fan of horror movies. Well written, well paced horror movies. Particularly ones with a kind of shocking reveal. One is the movie, “Orphan.” The ending was fantastic. Another one was “The Others.” A very nicely written twist. The ancient Greeks invented the […]
Run Towards Danger
Easy At First https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Sept27_Post.mp3 A long time ago, I went skiing for the first time. With my boy scout troop. At first it was pretty cool. On what they call the “bunny slope.” But after that, it got even cooler. Except for what they call “moguls.” These can be […]
Define Your Purpose
Two Days https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Aug30_Post.mp3 Mark Twain famously said there are two important days in anybody’s life. The day your born, and the day you find out why. This, like many other cool sounding ideas, is a metaphor. And while it feeds our need to find our “purpose” it might not be so accurate. […]
Following Dreams
Unstoppable Drive https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22July18_Post.mp3 Van Gogh was a pretty good artist. This is an understatement. But he was also poor. He only sold one painting his entire life. And that was to a friend of his. This is true belief in one’s purpose. This also raises a pretty uncomfortable idea. […]
Eliminate One-Itis
Gotta Have It https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22May19_Post.mp3 We humans tend to develop one-itis for a lot of things. This is normally something reserved for guys and girls. You interact with a lady for a little bit. Not very much. Just enough to get her number. Or get to know her just a little […]
The Instant Riches Trap
Short Term Love https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22May03_Post.mp3 Getting a financial windfall is the dream of nearly everybody. At least, superficially. One massive lump sum that would do two very, very wonderful things. One, to pay off all your bills and never worry about financial things again. Two, to do the things you really want. […]
Calibrate Your Carrot
Hollow Victory https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22May02_Post.mp3 I was watching an interview with an actor a few days ago. A guy I never heard about before, but recently made it big. He’d been in a bunch of movies and TV shows before, but I hadn’t seen any of them. He was talking about a near emotional […]
Get A Million Dollars
Buy Low Sell High https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Apr30_Post.mp3 One of my favorite jokes is from a long, long time ago. Like way back in Junior High School. When I had an old school, record player. And one record I listened to over and over was a Steve Martin record. One which was said favorite […]
Bird Brain Chaos
Chaos Birds https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Apr29_Post.mp3 A murmuration of starlings is a pretty cool thing. This when a hundred or so birds start to fly around in circles. Not really circles, but in a kind of relatively small space. Compared to the sky. Where the birds are making all these cool shapes that keep […]
