Advertise on podcast: MAX DEPTH

Today I hosted Andreas Tempereau on the podcast. He currently attends Stanford, will be joining Anduril next year, and has been building a insane military helmet for the past few months. I sat down today to understand his outlook on the world, how he sees the current state of technology, and what motivates him to solve interesting problems... (spoiler! he just loves solving interesting problems). I hope you enjoy today's conversation, I sure did. Please check out today's sponsor: https://courtside1.mysharetribe.com — The platform that connects athletes and business with talented creators in their area. Now, on to the program.

While I try to find what is practical and useful in philosophy, Dragan seems intent on destroying my entire conception of myself, how I perceive reality, and the systems we all operate in. In today's episode you will hear lines such as, "You are made a slave by language" & "We are castrating ourselves with each new instagram story post." Typical Philosophers! I am happy to have had this conversation with someone just as far down the rabbit hole as I am. Cheers to making it out the other side. THE MAX DEPTH PODCAST

What I privilege it was to connect with Dr. Ruwan M. Jayatunge M.D. PhD. We spoke about the nature of suffering, buddhism, happiness, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Nietzsche, and his work across the globe treating patients with PTSD. I promise you that if you listen to this conversation with an open mind and with good intentions, you will walk away a better person. I hope you enjoy today's episode of the Max Depth Podcast.

"Dark" philosophies engage deeply with the topic of suffering. That is the problem set we explore today. 

Today we are joined by Nic Munoz.    He is someone worth listening to for a few reasons:  1. He has studied countless "Great" individuals throughout history. He is a wealth of information.  2. He has built a successful online brand, standing out in the competitive education space.  3. He has a clear understanding of his strengths, and the mission he wants to dedicate his life to.  We hope you enjoy the conversation.  Check out Nic's Website here: https://www.nicmunoz.com  Read my thoughts every Tuesday: https://maxdepth.beehiiv.com/subscribe    00:38 Ernest Shackleton and Fridtjof Nansen  4:35 Early Lives  15:30 The Industrials vs Modern Founders  18:00 Making Humans Interplanetary  28:30 Interests, Intentions, and Effectiveness  38:15 Life as Art  1:00:00 Dostoyevsky

Who do you admire? I have always immersed myself in the ideas of those I have admired, through podcasts, audiobooks, & conversations. There is no way better way to do this, than to think, write, and finally produce a piece of content about the person. Fridtjof Nansen is truly worthy of study, for so many reasons.   This channel is dedicated to philosophers, practical advice / wisdom, big ideas in history and current events. If you check out the channel name "MAX DEPTH" then you will begin to get a feel for what we do around here; We go DEEP into ideas, jumping down rabbit holes that most people step around. If this sounds like your type of place, we'd love to have you along for the ride.   Sources: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/38026/38026-h/38026-h.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fridtjof_Nansen https://grokipedia.com/page/Fridtjof_Nansen   My Book: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16...   If you watch these guys you might like me:  Joe RoganModern WisdomLex FriedmanJordan Peterson

"Hello! I'm a student at Harvard pursuing a special degree across five fields - robotics, computer science, philosophy, mathematics, and organismic/evolutionary biology. These come together under my project by attempting to apply ways of thinking about nature to the way we think about robots." - Henry Cerbone Henry is a deep thinker so it was a pleasure speaking with him about: religion as an epistemic teddy bear, the epic paper titled: Posits and Reality (https://cdn.preterhuman.net/texts/science_and_technology/Quine%20W.V.%20-%20Posits%20and%20Reality.pdf) and if engineers and computer scientists are properly using nature to inform robotics. Hope you enjoy. I work really hard on these so please consider subscribing. Thanks.

Adam Green is the director of the Lab for Relational Cognition and Provost's Distinguished Associate Professor at Georgetown University. Adam's academic interests lie in understanding how neural processes generate intelligence and creativity. Hope you enjoy our conversation! Stay Classy San Diego.

Dr. Pallav Kosuri received his Ph.D from Columbia, his PostDoc from Harvard, and completed his thesis at CERN. Now he works at the Salk Institute in La Jolla working in a field called DNA Origami. If you have never heard of it, you are in for a wild ride. Essentially, they are constructing nano-scale devices made from DNA to measure previously unseen molecular motion with an almost infinite array of applications. 0:00 Introduction 8:30 The Silos of Science are Destructive 11:40 A Necessary Biology Review 23:00 Resurrecting Mammoths 32:45 The Road to Modern DNA Origami 40:00 DNA Origami Applications 53:15 Current Work
