Episode 9: Tribes

06/10/20 • 79 min

Have you ever thought about how many humans enable you to live your current life? Tribes have given the human race the ability to increase exponentially. Not only in number, but technology and all areas of advancement. Just think, without all of the people that protect and take care of us. From military to fire to police, all the way to the people that haul our trash away. We all need each other. Early human experience required tribes to survive the environment of the time. Now in a more civilized and populated world, we still have the need to belong to a tribe. Tribes back our ideals, beliefs, and standards. Tribalism is not all good though. Just as there are benfits to the protection in community, groups of common thinking people can push for negative or evil ideas. Everyone has their own set of tribes. Within the sets of tribes, we align for common goal or interest. Hopefully, it is for the good of all.

Episode 10: Processes

Processes. How do you keep up all of the things you need to do and maintain in your life? The system we use conscious or not, has elements of efficiency or not. As we age and see elements of our life systems, we edit or add on to proceed. When you notice 'there is this thing I always do manually, but it has automaticity', why not add the auto feature? Eddie and Darren talk about everyday life and travel and how systems and processes have worked and not. Schedules feel like work for some. Even managing your free time is a system. If you feel like your time is not managed well often, why not look at how you do it and make a change. Darren has a sense of accomplisment that makes or breaks his days, whether work or free time. Eddie definitely has systems, but may not want a schedule for his leisure time. In an elevated view of life, time is the currency we all have. No one knows how much of that we will given. One thing that is similar among people with a long life, they often comment in the end of their lives about how they spent their time.
