Listen "Preliminary Alignment"
Episode Synopsis
A session that almost didn't happen, beginning with the resistance to being perceived. The conversation navigates the fuzzy concept of friendship and why standard validation often feels empty, especially when one doesn't yet approve of their current self.It explores the desire for validation of the future self, and attempts to reframe rejection as a shared disapproval of the present state, a preliminary alignment. Also discussed: the freedom found when connection isn't the goal, and the intense, almost physical requirement of genuine belief needed to truly validate someone else.
