NOTE to THE LISTENER:
Dear Listener:
Thank you for being here.
This is podcast is a primer for conversation; as such, there are generalizations in this essay that could be developed or further explained in a long-form discussion.
Keeping in mind the theme of this podcast and my philosophy (listening for the meaning, not the words), it is important for the good-faith listener to know, generally, what I mean via the context of what I am expressing (and ideally, knowing whom I am as shown in all my writing, videos and podcasts) in such areas as generalizations.
I am not an academic or a scientist, but I am a thinker and an honest express-er of ideas that seem valid; I am proposing them for your consideration.
When you feel an idea seems extreme, consider re-interpreting it per what you probably know I really mean—instead of taking your decision about it to that extreme; for example, when I say “Show me a liar and I will show you a sociopath” I am not admitting that I am so prejudiced and inflexible as to think in all situations, one who lies is a sociopath in every case—clinically-speaking; I am, of course, suggesting that those who live by lying are probably, to some degree, sociopaths—because they have to be careless about the ramifications of their dishonesty and its affects on others.
This way that I am asking you to consider my ideas could be called: using common sense. This allows us to save time and express ourselves in simple, short and non-academic terms.
Thank you.
CA,
New York
