AHHH! WE HAVE DONE IT AGAIN. Genius insights, but this time with philosopher and TikTok creator Jordan Stacey (@jordstac). Despite battling a scratchy throat, we explore Jordan's fascinating journey from science enthusiast to spiritual seeker and unpack how those two worlds collide in unexpected ways. We discuss the dichotomy between nakedness and mess when revealing our vulnerabilities and reflect on how dreams can be a tool for subconscious processing. Together, we critique the limitations of short-form content in building genuine empathy, diving into how the internet's binary narratives fall short of replicating the depth of real-life interactions. 🪐 How studying science ironically led to a spiritual awakening 🪐 The tug-of-war between creativity and aesthetics 🪐 Why dreams might hold the key to subconscious processing 🪐 The anxiety trap of constantly evolving your self-concept 🪐 The struggle between leading with your nakedness vs. your mess 🪐 How short-form content might be killing real empathy 🪐 Why real-world chaos beats curated online peace We emphasize the importance of embracing chaos and unpredictability in a world obsessed with curated peace. Tap in for a conversation that’s full of sharp insights, deep laughs, and more questions than answers. Rate five stars—don’t make me ask twice! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Miss you!
