“Cal is a good productivity guru. When he larps as a broad intellectual figure and advice columnist things go a bit off the rails. So you need to listen to the show the way you’d read Hacker News comments section - there’s occasional gold on technical topics and wildly variable takes on everything else.
One episode someone wrote in with climate anxiety and Cal said don’t worry about things outside of your control, go fix a neighborhood playground. Yet it seems when a topic is emotionally salient for Cal, he is unable to resist the twitter rage bait he just spent the previous hour warning listeners about. In these instances his deep intellectualism schtick really just reads as an expertly crafted scaffolding for sounding authoritative.
Anyways, I treat the podcast like a weekly devotional for concepts like time blocking and multi scale planning.”
