Modern Wisdom

Fin Taylor is an English comedian, writer and podcaster.

Horatio Gould is also an English comedian, writer, and podcaster.

History is basically one long reminder that no matter how bad your day is, someone in the past was probably getting catapulted off a castle wall. Feel better? Good. Humanity may be a litany of disasters, but the past is packed with lessons, even some dark humor, if you look closely enough.

Expect to learn what makes the Japanese unique and why so many Japanese people practiced Seppuku, why post-war Europe was the funniest time in modern history, wether life was better in the past or just way, way worse than we imagined, why there is a rise of pro-Hitler media across social media, if too much irony is a bad thing, why racism is so ingrained in modern science, if fertility and embryo science has gone too far and much more…

#1019 - Fin Taylor & Horatio Gould - History is a Freakshow

Peter Crouch is a former professional footballer, sports pundit, and podcaster. 

What was it like playing in the Premier League alongside some of football’s most intense personalities? In an era where a goal celebration, whether it was the robot or a knee slide, showed your confidence as much as your skill, what was life like for Peter Crouch back then, and what’s he up to now

Expect to learn why so many ex-footballers started doing podcasts, what the common psychological archetype of top flight football players are, what being inside Premier League dressing rooms taught Peter about masculinity, why there are still no publicly gay premier league players, how Peter dealt with anxiety and the adrenaline whilst being a footballer, what worst part of the job that the general public don’t understand and much more…

#1018 - Peter Crouch - Behind The Bravado of Modern British Football

Dr Jonathan Anomaly is a philosopher, professor and an author.

What if you could design your own “super baby”? Imagine erasing genetic diseases, removing inherited conditions, and even selecting traits for beauty or intelligence. How close are we to making this possible, and what unintended consequences could this unleash?

Expect to learn why embryo selection will be the next frontier of fertility planning, why screening for traits beyond disease is a slippery slope toward eugenics, what the moral, ethical and realistic arguments are for embryo selection and how big of a societal gap this will create, if you can return the super baby if it didn’t yield desired results, if there were regulations in this space, what red lines would be drawn and what would be left to the market and much more…

#1017 - Jonathan Anomaly - What Embryo Selection Means for Humanity

Rob Henderson holds a PhD in psychology from the University of Cambridge and is a Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute.

When did having a boyfriend become cringe? For as long as men have been men and women have been women, finding a partner to share life with has been one of humanity’s oldest goals. So what changed? Why has wanting connection become something to mock, and what can be done to reverse it

#1016 - Rob Henderson - Is Having a Boyfriend Cringe Now?

Alain de Botton is a philosopher, author, and founder of The School of Life.

How can we truly understand ourselves? Most of us either ignore our emotions or overthink them, turning simple feelings into complex puzzles. So how do we navigate the minefield of emotion to grow and become better?

#1015 - Alain de Botton - 16 Lessons from The School Of Life

Dr. Marc Brackett is a professor at Yale University, the founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, and author.

Why is it so hard to actually feel our emotions? In a world that tells us to “be more vulnerable,” many of us don’t even know what that really means. Are we being unregulated when we express emotion, or are we finally being human? How can we reconnect with what we feel so we can actually understand ourselves better?

Expect to learn why only 1 in 5 adults can name more than three emotions they feel regularly, what emotional intelligence actually is, why we were taught such few emotional skills, how we can tell the difference between real regulation and repressed emotion, if it is possible to be too self-aware, how you can learn to reframe uncomfortable emotions—like anxiety or envy—into signals instead of shame and much more…

#1013 - Scott Galloway - How to Fix a Culture of Emasculated Men

Alex O’Connor is a YouTuber, writer and a podcaster.

Joe Folley is a philosopher, writer, and host of the Unsolicited Advice YouTube channel.

Philosophy has spent thousands of years trying to teach us how to live well. But the deeper you go, the darker it gets. So what’s the point? What can we take from all that heaviness, and how do we find beauty in the darkness to make our own lives better?

Expect to learn if philosophy always meant to be practically applicable, or if that is that a modern reinterpretation, which ancient schools have been most unfairly ignored, which branches of philosophy should be jettisoned entirely, why everyone hate philosophy of mind, the differences between academic and practical philosophy, the darkest philosophies you’ve probably never heard of, why modern discourse always feel ironic and why no one speaks earnestly any more and much more…

#1012 - Alex O’Connor & Joe Folley - Is Being Smart Worth the Depression?

Eliezer Yudkowsky is an AI researcher, decision theorist, and founder of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute.

Is AI our greatest hope or our final mistake? For all its promise to revolutionize human life, there’s a growing fear that artificial intelligence could end it altogether. How grounded are these fears, how close are we to losing control, and is there still time to change course before it’s too late

Expect to learn the problem with building superhuman AI, why AI would have goals we haven’t programmed into it, if there is such a thing as Ai benevolence, what the actual goals of super-intelligent AI are and how far away it is, if LLMs are actually dangerous and their ability to become a super AI, how god we are at predicting the future of AI, if extinction if possible with the development of AI, and much more…

#1011 - Eliezer Yudkowsky - Why Superhuman AI Would Kill Us All

Bernie Sanders is a US Senator, former presidential candidate, political activist and an author. 

What happened to the Democratic Party? After a brutal defeat to Trump in 2024, the Left looks lost, divided, leaderless, and unsure of its future. Bernie Sanders breaks down what went wrong, how Democrats are trying to recover, and whether they’ve learned from their mistakes or are doubling down on them, repeating the very ideas that cost them the election.

Expect to learn what the future of the democratic party could look like, Bernie’s thoughts on Kamala’s presidential run in 2024, how much of an own goal identity politics was for the Democrats, why the Democratic party turned their back to the working class, how the Democrats can fix their messaging to men and young men after abandoning them completely, if ICE should be abolished, how worried Bernie and the Left is about the birth rate crisis and much more…

#1010 - Bernie Sanders - Who Actually Runs the US Government?

Robert Waldinger is a psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, Zen priest and Director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest-running study of adult life ever conducted.
What makes for a good life? That was one of the main questions I asked myself when I began this podcast. A far easier solution would have been to speak to Dr Waldinger as his team has been researching thousands of the same individuals for 75 years to answer this question definitively.
Expect to learn how you operate a longitudinal study that spans more time than any researcher's career, just how in depth this study went with brain scans and blood tests, what the most important factors which determined life happiness were, how many friends people should have, whether being married makes you live longer, what role achievement has on happiness and much more...
