Naval, in your recent podcast, you shared your thoughts on self-obsession, which have been on my mind: "It’s the root of all unhappiness. All misery comes from rumination about me." I don’t think about myself or the past. Can you please create a podcast exploring this more deeply? I want to learn more about this.
Yes that's exciting, I want to know more about it. Hi @Naval. I am your follower from the 2018 podcast of yours. I am quite interested in your thoughts.
Why does he need an entire podcast about a simple statement like that? That is like those writers that write self-development or business advice trying to reach a quote of pages for their publishers while the actual idea they are presenting can be explained in a blog post.
Best canon of modern life lessons - possibly followed by the ‘how to get rich’ tweet storm. Also appreciated getting the majority of the clips on the TokCast / Brett Hall channel ahead of time. Still pumped to listen to the whole recording here.
Thank you, always fascinating. Has anybody asked David on his far future ideas (omega point variants)? I know he doesn't do prophecy, but he did choose to close 'the fabric of reality' with these ideas and mentioned it when cosmology ruled one scenario out in the beginning of infinity. Maybe part V?

All things connects together. Quantum physics and Computation connects to create Quantum Computation Dear naval sir you should also try to connect SCIENCE & SPIRITUALITY together Who knows maybe we may find the answers of the universe, life & everything. Once a wise man said when science ends spirituality begins The oldest religion in the world I.e HINDU ( SANATAN DHARMA ) have so much answers that science discovered centuries afterward.
