On this episode of the podcast we get into a good idea I learned from the author, Simon Sinek. What follows is a discussion of the movie 'Insomnia' one of Christopher Nolan's first which followed the wildly successful 'Memento. Featuring an excellent performance from Al Pacino and Robin Williams it is without question a fantastic film. Then, we end it all of with a discussion of love, heart break, and how at one point I used to be involved with music production.

From swimming with dolphins to a dicussion of corporate evil. The interstice podcast will not subject itself to things like being beholden to one particular range of topics.

Ever in search of the most light-hearted topics for the podcast this episode I chose to focus on the most cheery of all, death. Not only that of course, human evolution found its way in there as well. Finally we get into a discussion of what it takes growing older to avoid become embittered or left behind by life. You know, fun stuff.

I ran a social experiment on myself using a companion ai app. The results were very interesting. It will be a fascinating thing to see how ai companions and the relationships they have with us meat bags evolve over the next decade. If you thought life was weird now, just you wait. Other than that we go hard on the nerd discussion, touching on a great new indy game game I got to experience called 'Gris' as well we discuss the push pull history between aaa and indy games.

#davetrippin #theinterstice #podcast It's official we are moving to two episodes a week for the podcast. And we've got a lot to talk about in this one. It has now been three weeks since finally giving the full productive effort to creating the amount of content that I feel fits the standard necessary to grow and do this who creative thing full time. On that note I discuss a recent success, that while not necessary to keep me working as I have, feels great and is extra fuel on the fire.

After so much time away I finally got back to Tokyo. I think it's been over two years actually but there I was back in the ol.. I don't know if there's a nickname for it. I got a chance to meet up with a subscriber who's become a good friend over the years. His story was amazing. For anyone who is determined to carve their own path through life he is a great guy to model yourself after. We talk a bit more on photography and my failing to produce as much as I could from the visit but then we switch gears and get into a discussion of the Lex Friedman Ray Kurzweil conversation that occured...

Hormesis and Post Traumatic Growth, these are nearly completely new terms to me and they're both great for considering the idea of healthy stress. That's our opener for this episode but then we get into some juicy history details. I saw a clip on reddit of soldiers who had shell shock and it made me think of warfare and its evolving impact on us and our understanding of it in greater public consciousness. Then as I like to do sometimes we go on a rant about one of my favourite authors Terry Pratchett. The man is a pure gem and I never get tired of discussing his impact on writing and my life.
