    I picked up Max Tegmark's "Life 3.0" thinking I'd learn about AI and the future of technology. I didn't expect to be pulled 13.8 billion years back in time. And I definitely didn't expect to cry.

This episode isn't a book review. It's m...

    Content Warning: This episode discusses grief, loss, and deep emotional pain. Three months after losing someone I loved, I sat on my bed at 5:30 AM with my running shoes on, unable to move. Just crying. Still unable to breathe right. This is my story of what happened when suffering broke me wide open. This isn't a motivational episode. There's no "5 steps to heal" or "how to get over grief quickly." This is just honest talk about p...
