Ep. 5: Oh, Brave New World!

Author: The Driver July 19, 2019 Duration: 25:15

This was just a ramble on how things are chaning for the better and kind of how exciting that is. 

The episode started by focusing on Elon Musk's Neuralink presentation but shifted around to a lot of various topics from there. 


This if the Neuralink video I watched: Here

There is a pretty good book talking about future technologies written by Peter H. Diamandis: Here

The "Ds" that I couldn't remember from Peter H Diamandis are:

Digitized, Deceptive, Disruptive, Demonetized, Dematerialized and Democratized 

Here is a link to a fuller explanation of each D: Here 


The Freakonomics episode about Wizards and Prophets: Here 


The interview I referenced between Dave Rubin and Marianne Williamson: Here 

Steven Pinker's book regrading the overall trends of the world becoming generally better in every way: Here


The times they are a changing, might as well enjoy the new gear and concepts.

Every week, before the sun comes up, The Driver hits the road. That quiet, mobile space becomes the recording studio for 400thoughts, a project born from the rhythm of the daily commute. The premise is straightforward but ambitious: four hundred episodes, delivered weekly, each one a snapshot of whatever ideas, curiosities, or observations happen to be occupying his mind. You won’t find a rigid schedule of topics here. Instead, this podcast meanders through society and culture, reflecting the host’s own shifting interests-a deep dive into a documentary one week, a reflection on a community trend the next, or a simple musing on the changing landscape seen from the driver’s window. It’s the audio equivalent of a long, winding conversation with a thoughtful friend who’s done a lot of reading and even more thinking. The result is an intimate and unpredictable collection, united more by a genuine sense of curiosity than by a single theme. Tune in for a dose of unscripted perspective, where each episode is a brief, companionable detour into the random thoughts of a random person, all while the miles roll by.
