listen to this if you are or feel lost!

In this episode, I question everything: society’s obsession with productivity, my descent into psychosis, and the void we all try to fill by endlessly scrolling. From losing podcast followers over controversial rants to Minecraft nomad challenges and soy milk allergies, this episode spirals deep into the absurdity of modern life. Join me as I wander—mentally, digitally, and literally—trying to find meaning in a world designed to keep us lost. Not all who wander are lost... but maybe we are.

Topics Covered:

Losing podcast followers: rejection or validation? Controversial takes: abortion and the art of making people think. Psychosis, delusions, and the struggle to trust your own mind. Digital wandering: the endless scroll and algorithm traps. Feeling trapped in routines, systems, and government bureaucracy. Minecraft nomad life as a metaphor for freedom. Soy milk allergies: chaos in a cup. The beauty of wandering without a destination. Challenging society’s obsession with productivity and structure. Existential dread disguised as a 2-mile walk. Why we’re all just lost wanderers in a digital wasteland.
