Abel James Show (Video)

Do you feel a constant pressure to optimize every aspect of your life? What if hyper-optimization protocols actually do more harm than good? The glorification of hustle culture has given many of us the nagging feeling that no matter how much we do or accomplish, it's never quite enough.

Chef James Barry: Why Eating at Fancy Restaurants is Terrible for Your Health show art Chef James Barry: Why Eating at Fancy Restaurants is Terrible for Your Health

Abel James Show (Video)

Why do fancy restaurants fill their meals with junk oils, sugars, chemical preservatives, and worse? With rampant food inflation and razor thin margins, even the fanciest, most exclusive and expensive restaurants can’t resist the tendency to cut corners on ingredient quality. That means that no matter how much you spend on eating out - with few exceptions - you’re still getting shockingly low-quality food.  So how do high profile celebrities and the rich and famous achieve such dramatic transformations?  And are regular joes and janes like us actually better off without private...

Matt Beaudreau: How to Nurture Genius and Courage in a Habitually Compliant Population show art Matt Beaudreau: How to Nurture Genius and Courage in a Habitually Compliant Population

Abel James Show (Video)

What’s the difference between education and indoctrination? Is our education system broken, or is it operating as intended? The public school conveyor belt is a relic of the Prussian military model, designed to produce compliant workers for factories rather than sovereign thinkers with upward mobility. We’re left with a blindly obedient population that’s smart enough to follow orders, but not smart or courageous enough to question the status quo.   The masses are conditioned to become habitually compliant conformists forever reliant on external authority. As Seth Godin writes,...

What if technology actually made our lives better instead of worse?

When you're scrolling non-stop on your phone, do you ever feel like you're at the casino?

If you've ever opened 200 tabs on your browser, stared blankly into a screen, or doomscrolled the day away, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Modern computers and smartphones are evolutionarily mismatched to our biology.

Algorithms have been weaponized against us, using our attention as a currency for advertisers and top-down social agendas.

As a result, our use of modern phones, tablets, computers and social media have led to increasing depression, anxiety and social isolation.

So why would you create a new tablet computer that's heavier, thicker, lacks color and has no camera or microphone?

Because it's actually better for you.

We're here today with Anjan Katta, visionary founder and inventor of Daylight Computer, a groundbreaking hardware technology company that has created the world's very first blue light-free, high-refresh rate computer that respects our health, attention and freedom, challenging tech giants like Apple, Google, Amazon and Microsoft. 

By prioritizing simplicity, honesty and ethics, the next generation of founders is creating devices that are less likely to be addictive or harmful.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Why modern blue-lit devices and screens are so addictive

  • How artificial blue light alters our production of dopamine and disrupts our circadian rhythm

  • Why surveillance resistant devices are the way of the future

  • The potential for innovative technology to enhance rather than detract from our wellbeing 

  • And much more…
