25 - Is There Any Point To Anything? - Growth Mindset Podcast - Rob Price

<a href="https://imgur.com/RtBCFhq"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/RtBCFhq.png" title="source: imgur.com" /></a> <p>Rob Price, an English teacher, author and philosopher working in Thailand and soon moving to China. He has really interesting views on the world and in my own view is like a younger, more English version of Jordan Peterson.</p> <p><br></p> <p>On the podcast we discuss a variety of things from the topics of teaching and being useful to the world and travelling. To such things as Nuclear Winters, AI taking over the world, human beings taking over the galaxies, what is the point of living and why no one will read in the future. So certainly a great podcast for anyone who likes to think about the future and what is the point of things. Rob has a great way of unpicking what humans tend to believe versus what is actually true and I certainly learnt a lot in the conversation.</p> TIPS <a href="https://imgur.com/p182EUh"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/p182EUh.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a> OPTIMISE YOUR AID GIVING Try to be as useful as possible - If you want to visit a country and physically help out you should develop specific skills. Don’t just go somewhere on a glorified holiday where you mainly just get in the way. You would net make far more difference by just sending your money to charity and going on a holiday yourself. <a href="https://imgur.com/5pmSvfl"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/5pmSvfl.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a>Get any of the books free on audible (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Audible-Free-Trial-Digital-Membership/dp/B00OPA2XFG?tag=samharris48%E2%80%9321) LET PEOPLE BREAK STUFF. A solid piece of advice from an actual teacher. Let people make their own mistakes and learn through messing up as it is far more empowering that keeping them in an enclosed system. <a href="https://imgur.com/ttVPkQH"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/ttVPkQH.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a><a href="https://imgur.com/5pmSvfl"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/5pmSvfl.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a>Get
