Episode transcript
Welcome to the Crazy Wisdom podcast. Today I interviewed David Boxenhorn. David has a very interesting theory called Mundia. And Modia says that generally there's two types of people on this world, and one of them believes in Mundia, the world of natural laws, and the other one being Modia, the world of human social dynamics. It's a convincing theory.
disagree with some of it, and I encourage you to make your own judgment on it. So, yeah, I was really interested by this theory. I read his blog post, and then I wanted to reach out for an interview about how to make sense of it and how to apply it to my own world. And this interview is a result of that. I hope you find it valuable. I hope it makes you question some things that you might not necessarily have questioned before. That is one of the goals of my podcast. Also, I do want to make it clear, as I've been making it clear in the last few episodes, that
believe there are experts, but I don't believe there are any experts at life. And so I ask questions of people who might not have expertise in the area that I'm asking these questions about, but I still think it's important to ask them and to hear their answers. And so I encourage you to adopt a beginner's mind when listening to this podcast or any other podcast. Approach it as if you don't already know, because, honestly, you don't. The universe is nonlinear. Our brains create an illusion of linearity where no such linearity exists. And so I think it's important to remember that over and over and over again. So before you make a judgment about what is right, what is wrong, come back to the spot of beginner's mind. Realize that there are experts in specializations, but there are no experts at life. And if anybody tells you they're an expert at life, I'd highly, highly recommend running away. And, yeah, just be skeptical. Skeptical of yourself, skeptical of others, skeptical of whatever is going on. Because honestly, like, your eyes are dumbing down reality by a factor of 10 right now. What you see is not what's out there. What you see is an image of what's out there that your brain is creating. And your brain does this for everything else. So the more we can adopt this understanding that we do not know, the more healthy we are, the more sane we become. So I encourage you to listen to this episode and every other episode with that in mind. And if you can't, I'd suggest finding a new podcast to listen to. Because I don't care. So yeah, and hopefully you enjoy what I'm doing. I do make this content to make you think in ways you've never thought before, make you feel in ways you've never felt before, and make you act in ways you've never acted before. It's the essential wisdom behind Crazy Wisdom is this wisdom that is not accessible verbally, but we can only point to with our words. And I am starting an online course with anders Jones, the CEO of Facet wealth who raised $40 million in his series A. And we're going to be giving the information out as to how you can think about raising money for your company either at the seed stage or Series A. So if you're an early stage founder and are thinking about raising money, highly recommend signing up for this course. It is application only and I will be including more information on my blog stuarthalsop substack.com so please go ahead and sign up for the blog stuartalsop.substack.com and I will be including an application link and more information about how you can apply for this course. I find it valuable to hear from others how they have done it in in the last few years because a lot of stuff, particularly in the startup world, is temporal in nature, so it changes. So you really want to get that access to the information of people doing it right now in order to figure out how you can win. Hope you guys enjoy this stuff. Please let me know if you do. Have a great day.
