The French Philosopher

🤯 You won’t believe how I pulled this podcast episode off. I fed this new AI tool a simple text document of my last conference, and boom—it turned into a chill, mind-blowing convo between two advanced artificial intelligences. Seriously, this is wild.🔥

So, here’s the scoop: I gave a 1-hour talk to 100 people about “how to develop critical thinking in the AI era.” My friend Roman mentioned this AI tool that could create podcasts from documents, and I thought, why not try it with this talk?

The idea of using AI to talk about AI? That’s some next-level meta stuff. So, I tested out Google’s NotebookLM “Audio Overview” feature, using just one Google doc: my conference transcript, translated into English by DeepL, another AI tool. Yep, we’re fully living in the AI age.😂

Now, I’m not one to get easily impressed, but this? WHAAAT??? 🤯 It’s next-level! Two AI hosts casually breaking down my talk, hitting the key points, all in a super relaxed, engaging way. It’s so good. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you’re seriously missing out.

The best part? I talked about how AI might replace high-value jobs, and here we are—proof right in front of us! 😅 You all have to listen to this.

Sure, the ideas, analogies, and thesis are all mine, but the AI took it and shaped it into something completely new. It’s kinda mind-blowing how good it is!

So, here’s my question for you: where do you think our human value lies? Are we truly irreplaceable, or do you think every job might be up for grabs soon? Listen to this podcast, then let me know where you stand. And also, I believe the content of my talk that those AIs are commenting is pretty dope 😜

In this episode, we take a closer look at how tech impacts the way we see and relate to the world around us. Drawing on the unique insights of Václav Havel—philosopher, playwright, and former president—we’ll explore the evolving relationship between humanity, technology, and the essence of Being. Along the way, we’ll reflect on how advancements in AI are subtly changing the way we experience life. From the way we interact with nature to how we understand our role in society, tech is influencing our reality in more ways than we might realize. We’ll think about how these shifts are reshaping the world we live in—and how we can shift our perspective to something bigger.

🧬 Are You More Than DNA’s Puppet? Unravel the mystery of what truly shapes us—our DNA, destiny, or something more profound? This week, I challenge the idea of “becoming the best version of ourselves” and question whether we’re really in control or simply playing the roles handed to us.

✨ Become What You Are with Nietzsche. We’ll explore what that really means. Is our identity set in stone, or can we chip away at the rough edges to reveal something greater? Join me as I dive into the tension between free will and determinism, and let’s see if we can find our own purpose along the way.

Hey there, your philosophy BFF here! 👋

Ever thought about what Kant meant when he said, "Dare to know!"*? 🤔 Well, back in the day, knowledge was like a VIP club—only accessible to priests, princes, and scholars. But Kant was all about flipping that script. He wanted everyone to dive into the deep end of knowledge, and here’s why that’s still a big deal today.

So, what does "Dare to know!" really mean? 🧐

1. Get Real with Your Thoughts: This isn’t just about seeking knowledge; it’s about having the guts to confront uncomfortable truths. Kant believed that many people shy away from thinking for themselves due to fear. By daring to know, we challenge our own beliefs and the status quo, leading to personal growth and deeper understanding.

2. Be the Boss of Your Beliefs: Kant emphasized the importance of using your own reason. This means taking responsibility for your beliefs and decisions rather than relying on authority figures or societal norms. It’s about becoming the author of your own intellectual journey and not letting others dictate your understanding of the world.

3. Fuel the Fire of Progress: "Dare to know!" is also a call to action for collective enlightenment. When individuals seek knowledge and question established norms, they contribute to societal growth. This idea was foundational during the Enlightenment and remains crucial today as we navigate complex global issues and strive for justice and equality.

Kant's message is timeless, urging us to step out of our comfort zones and engage with the world critically. So, how can we embody "Dare to know!" in our lives today?

What do you think? Is "Dare to know!" still relevant in our quest for truth? Drop your thoughts in the comments—I’d love to hear your perspective!

Stay curious and keep questioning, my fellow philosophers! 🙌✨

*The philosopher Immanuel Kant actually said ‘Sapere aude’ - which is Latin. It translates to ‘Dare to know’ or ‘Dare to be wise’ in English. The phrase was famously used in his essay ‘What Is Enlightenment?’ to encourage individuals to think for themselves and pursue knowledge.
