Revelizations

Revelizations

Revelizations is a podcast where I sit down with interesting people about interesting topics and have interesting conversations. Sound interesting? The topics will be eclectic, big and small such as finding joy, different philosophies about the origins of the universe, for profit prisons, math why it’s cool and how it helps unlock the mysteries of the universe, different models of educating a population, how to have difficult conversations whether you are offering consolation or having a conversation to establish good faith, artificial intelligence, the effects of social media on culture, nutrition, cognitive biases in decision making, and so much more. The only limiting factor is our own curiosity. Oh, and occasionally I will have episodes where I offer my own insight, Revelizations, about truths that I have found to be profound and worth sharing. Thanks for joining me and I look forward to our journey to understanding the world around us just a little bit better.

Chris is a coach who specializes in helping people break free from procrastinati...

For at least half a century physicists have been searching for a unifying theory of everything. An equation that will explain the entire universe in a single equation. What I'm willing to go on the record to call a noble pursuit but a fool's errand nonetheless.

For too long I have sat on the sidelines and let the greatest minds flounder in vain. No longer. My silence on the subject is ending. Today I take charge of the ship and ste...
