Listen "#21 Why predicting the future creates happiness"
Episode Synopsis
Trying to predict the future is such an intertwined ability in us humans. An ability and a focus that permeates more of our lives than we think.The ability and the focus we have on predicting the future, is very much connected to our happiness. The future is just a collection of now-moments that are yet to come. And by being able to predict it, we pull in the future so that it becomes a mere extension of the present moment. Predicting the future comes from our intelligence, the ability to spot the invisible connections between cause and effect, and it is what takes us from weak animals to rulers of the earth - with all the problems that come with it.What happens to us when we can’t somewhat predict the future? In this episode I will take you into the rabbit hole of future prediction through: Music, AI, happiness, doomsday, complexity, game changers, Covid19, nuclear bombs, rhythm, predict/plan/prepare, uncertainty and worries, affective forecasting, stocks, politics, Parkinson’s disease, climate change and many other things. You are in for a treat!P.S. All my episodes are made WITHOUT the use of AI.
