    The world is beautiful, full of fascinating people, and people I love, and I'm so lost in neurotic thought that I'm missing... most of it. I'm an overexaminer.


    Why, when scubadiving in the Great Barrier Reef, instead of drinking in the marine wonders, am I just replaying that time I was picked last in P.E. basketball?


    Why, at a close friend's wedding, did I miss half the groom's speech because I was thinking about my crap haircut.


    If that sounds like you too, then join me on a quest to discover ways in which we can become more present, more fulfilled and more curious. Through stories, reflections and interviews with the wisest gurus, comedians, musicans, athletes and artists, maybe we can uncover a few secrets about what a life well-lived looks like.

  • Should We Have Intimate Relationships With A.I.?
    Mar 3 2025

    The idea gives me the 'ick'. But why? Today we look into whether or not a relationship with A.I. is actually a bad thing, drawing on Spike Jonez, Peter Singer, and other great minds.
