Episode transcript
Welcome to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast. So you might have noticed that the world has gone a little bit insane. And to get through this in a way that is sustainable and maybe even joyous, we are going to have to find some crazy wisdom. Which is why I named the podcast Crazy Wisdom. And I try to find guests who are both contrarian and right, as well as people who can help us to understand how we can get through this period of both acceleration as technology accelerates, and maybe even a little bit of darkness, as well as some of you may have been noticing, really crazy stuff is happening right now. So my goal with this show is to empower you with crazy wisdom and give you the tools to figure out how to do it on yourself, because we can't rely on too much these days. So with that being said, if you like what I'm offering with this show, I'm on Twitter to Stuart Alsop. I I, I. My DMs are open. I'd love to hear from you about how this show has affected you. Thanks. Have a great day. Welcome to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast. My guest here is Joshua Morrison Cooper, and he is the creative coordinator of Happiness, and he just showed up at my house today to bring me plants. So I asked him if he wanted to do an interview. And really excited to have you. Welcome.
Yeah. So what is the most interesting thing that you've learned about plants in the last year or two?
It's a perpetual growth of understanding them, really. They've taught me a lot about myself. And they actually produce a lot of musical kind of variances between each one of them. When you connect them to a machine that can actually dialogue or kind of work with them, they produce sound frequencies.
