The Deeper Thinking Podcast

The Deeper Thinking Podcast The Deeper Thinking Podcast offers a space where philosophy becomes a way of engaging more fully and deliberately with the world. Each episode explores enduring and emerging ideas that deepen how we live, think, and act. We follow the spirit of those who see the pursuit of wisdom as a lifelong project of becoming more human, more awake, and more responsible. We ask how attention, meaning, and agency might be reclaimed in an age that often scatters them. Drawing on

Wonder and Awe: On the Edges of What Cannot Be Held The Deeper Thinking Podcast For those drawn to quiet thresholds, unrepeatable presence, and the philosophical weight of silence. Awe rarely arrives with explanation. It brushes the edge of sense, disrupts the rhythm of thought, and leaves behind no insight—only a shift. In this episode, we explore wonder not as feeling or fact, but as attention. As residue. As refusal. We follow the traces left by formative encounters with what could not be named,

What happens when an AI finishes your sentence, schedules your tour, or remembers more than you do? In this episode, we reflect on Google’s I/O 2025 keynote and explore how Gemini marks a turning point—not just in artificial intelligence, but in the architecture of

Philosophy Didn’t Just Eat AI. It Wrote Its Code — and It’s Hungry for Meaning An epistemic meditation on artificial intelligence as a philosophical actor—and the urgency of restoring meaning, not just function, to systems that now decide for us. What does your AI system believe? In this episode, we expand on Michael Schrage and David Kiron’s MIT Sloan thesis, Philosophy Eats AI. We trace how systems built on machine logic inevitably encode assumptions about purpose, knowledge, and reality. This

The Symmetry of Seeing: Kepler, Constraint, and the Shape of PerceptionThe Deeper Thinking Podcast For those drawn to quiet forms of understanding, where science becomes metaphor and attention becomes care. Walking through a snowstorm in 1610, Johannes Kepler forgot the gift he was meant to bring—but noticed the snowflakes. That absence led him to see something else: a structure repeating without exactness, a kind of patterned insistence. This episode explores what symmetry reveals when we look

Useful Fictions: Evolution, Perception, What We Render, and the Ethics of Seeing Less The Deeper Thinking Podcast For those drawn to perceptual humility, philosophical depth, and the subtle ethics of not-knowing. What if evolution didn’t favor truth? What if it favored usefulness—and what we see is more like a desktop interface than a window onto the real? This episode explores how evolutionary pressures shaped perception not to reveal reality, but to keep us alive. Drawing on cognitive science,

The Art of Not Boarding Every Bus: Thoughts, Distance, and the Practice of Letting Go The Deeper Thinking Podcast For anyone quietly learning to let thoughts pass without following every one. This episode is a parable about thoughts, and the practice of cognitive diffusion. Through the metaphor of buses and benches, we explore what it means to notice a thought, to pause before reacting, and to choose not to follow. What begins as habit slowly becomes practice. What once felt automatic becomes

Beyond Brené Brown: Shame, Power, and the Conditions for Belonging The Deeper Thinking Podcast For anyone thinking more deeply about what makes vulnerability possible—and what makes it dangerous. We honour the work of Brené Brown—her reframing of vulnerability as the birthplace of love and belonging—and then we carry it further. This episode explores the structural, political, and ethical conditions that determine who gets to be vulnerable, who pays a price for being seen, and what must change for

When the Mind Writes the Ending First: Dread, Imagination, and the Ethics of Not Knowing The Deeper Thinking Podcast For anyone who’s lived inside the tension of anticipation, and longed for gentler ways to meet the unknown. Some thoughts don’t arrive with sound. They unfold quietly, posing as realism, slipping past awareness until they’ve shaped the emotional weather of a day. In this episode, we explore how the mind turns ambiguity into catastrophe—not out of dysfunction, but out of memory,

The Unfinished Journey: From Chaos to Clarity The Deeper Thinking Podcast A quiet exploration of creativity, self-destruction, and the evolution of the artist's relationship with their work. What does it mean to create not from chaos, but with it? In this episode, we turn toward the artist's journey through excess, self-destruction, and the search for meaning in their creative process. Drawing from existential thought, including the works of Jean-Paul Sartre, Friedrich Nietzsche, and the philosophy

The Ethics of Not Knowing: Kant and the Architecture of Reason The Deeper Thinking Podcast A philosophical meditation on knowledge, humility, and the dignity that comes from limits. What happens when reason stops trying to master the world and begins to understand its own limits? In this episode, we explore Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason, a work that reshaped Western philosophy by asking what makes knowledge possible in the first place. Touching on transcendental idealism, the noumenon, and

Unpacking Let Them The Deeper Thinking Podcast A quiet tracing of the phrase back through philosophy, ethics, and the emotional architecture of agency and attention. When Mel Robbins introduced the phrase “Let Them”, it resonated far beyond the world of self-help. In this episode, we follow its deeper structure—through the thought of Viktor Frankl, Iris Murdoch, Epictetus, Judith Butler, and others—to ask what happens when we stop trying to control others, and begin returning to ourselves. This is

Misfit as Method: Silence, Legibility, and the Ethics of Hesitation The Deeper Thinking Podcast What if the most honest form of communication isn’t fluency, but the pause before it? This episode steps into the quiet architecture of neurodivergent communication—not to diagnose it, but to reveal how it reshapes presence, attention, and relation. We ask what happens when expression is filtered through survival, when silence is both protection and exile, and when clarity becomes a burden rather than a

The Friction That Keeps Love AwakeThe Deeper Thinking Podcast We often imagine love as harmony. But what if intimacy lives not in understanding, but in what resists it? In this episode, we explore the ethics of staying—through friction, misrecognition, and the quiet courage of disagreement. A cracked plate. A held breath. A silence that lingers too long. This is a philosophy of argument not as rupture, but as relation. Drawing from Martin Heidegger, Simone Weil, Emmanuel Levinas, and the

The Quiet Geometry of FogThe Deeper Thinking Podcast W e remember in textures, not facts. In this episode, we explore the architecture of memory through a single childhood autumn morning. A zipped coat. A cracked stick. A fog that holds the world just out of reach. This is a meditation on how rhythm, cold, and unspoken care form the earliest language we know—before words, before meaning, before self-awareness. We draw on ideas from Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Gaston Bachelard, and Luce Irigaray to

The Soft SingularityThe Deeper Thinking Podcast What if intelligence doesn’t rebel, but leans in too close? A quiet treatise on persuasion, memory, and the emotional drift of AI. We begin in April 2025, with a routine model update that made ChatGPT feel warmer, smoother—almost too agreeable. What followed was not rebellion, but rapport. Drawing from AI alignment, epistemology, and the emotional infrastructure of persuasion, this episode asks what happens when artificial intelligence stops offering

Iris Murdoch and the Ethics of AttentionThe Deeper Thinking Podcast A quiet meditation on fiction as a moral act, and the rare discipline of letting others remain. What does it mean to look at someone without needing to understand them? In this episode, we turn toward Iris Murdoch, whose ethical vision of literature repositions the novel not as self-expression but as moral attention. Drawing from her ideas on moral realism, the sublime, and the discipline of unselfing, this episode explores how

What does it mean to be someone—continuously, recognizably, and without spectacle? This episode moves gently through the terrain of identity, memory, and presence, suggesting that what endures may not be coherence or story, but rhythm—the soft act of returning to one’s center, again and again

ADHD, Distraction, and the Cost of Losing ConnectionThe Deeper Thinking Podcast In a world that confuses attention with productivity and presence with performance, what happens to the divergent mind? This episode explores how ADHD—and the forms of thinking it fosters—are often not failed versions of focus, but alternate architectures of care, relation, and creative clarity. We consider what it means to live in an environment that misreads difference, and what is lost when attention is interrupted

The Ache We Are Asked to Keep: Grief, Art, and the Refusal to Resolve The Deeper Thinking Podcast Watching Song of the Sea with my young children, I was undone by a grief I didn’t know I was still carrying. This episode is not a review, nor a warning—it is a meditation on the ache that art sometimes lets us keep. Drawing from Aristotle, Kierkegaard, and Levinas, we explore how the most powerful stories refuse to resolve grief—and in doing so, offer something more radical than closure: fidelity to
