Justin is a thoughtful and capable "average guy" who runs a YouTube based interview series called “Idea Cast” where he has detailed and technical conversations with experts in the social sciences, philosophy, and arts. In these interviews, Justin aims to better illustrate the frameworks we have to understand meaning making and purpose. He pulls from many tools in cognitive science, psychology and philosophy to explore the world and self. Justin combines these fields to better understand not only the process of how we interact with our environment but also as a means to know ourselves and how we learn and grow.Though Justin has a remarkable depth of understanding on many topics, he’s the first to point out what he doesn’t know, and I believe you’ll notice how his genuine humility only strengthens his credibility.Check out Justin's links!Interview seriesBlueSky accountLinkedInChapters:(0:00) - Meet Justin(3:06) - Childhood to middle age: defining life chapters(10:39) - The chaotic ordering of our 20's(14:45) - Reflections on motivation and the shadow(18:35) - Recovering from brain injury: IdeaCast’s origins(30:01) - Interview style and engaging with intellectual guests(39:36) - Partnership between curiosity and skepticism(45:02) - Serious play, humor and therapy(52:00) - Personal narratives and facing challenges(1:02:20) - Religion's deep roots and positive function(1:09:06) - Tensions between modernity and organized religion(1:18:52) - AI’s emergence and the question of consciousness(1:33:33) - Societal shifts, labor and education in an AI world(1:41:00) - Final Thoughts & Advice for Younger Generations
