72. Everything is Fucked: Ch. 4 & 5

Fiddle and Pipe ·

2022/11/16

That moment when you're reading a self help book and it turns into a philosophy book out of nowhere. Mark Manson's Everything is Fucked takes a wild turn in these two chapters to describe the lengths that people would go for in the name of whatever they hold dear. To navigate the left turn this book took, we discuss religion, politics, cults, and how human advancement shaped us. One thing that really unites people is their common enemy, and our common enemy is Bartok. Catherine describes a time

Cassie Holmes (@kassarilla), violist and medical professional, joins us to unwrap these mysteries as we discuss the latest chapter of Seth Godin's The Practice. This chapter was pretty all over the place, and honestly, we are too. We stumbled upon a wild article, but we also discuss confirmation bias, and the concept of muses as creative inspiration.

These two chapters were pretty concise, so we get some beefy stories in this episode, such as Catherine's origin story and when Brittany decided to become a full-time musician. Even though neither of us were feeling these two chapters, we did have some great discussions about free and low paying gigs and talent versus skill.
