CoPilot sits this one out as Alexander walks some thoughts out with his good friend Naser. As they walk the busy streets of a bustling downtown, they feel their thoughts walking along side of them.

These friends are not shy to dissent or encourage and sometimes in the same thought. Naser discuses negative criticisms and how they should be viewed as constructive, but we should not be shy to dismiss some opinions if their negativity outweighs their benefit.

Ultimately, the two friends find they just needed to talk and think it out to resolve whatever issues were ailing them. Enjoy.

Fear of failure is not the only thing keeping us from achieving our full potential.

Falsely believing we are not deserving of success is a giant roadblock that goes unnoticed by many, but the lasting impact is felt on the individual not coming to grips with the reality of their true identity.

In this episode we dive into the fictional story of Sam who continues to sabotage his own success because of his false belief that his success is not merited by him.

A friend of the show, Josh Powers, joins us to discuss the impact this mentality can have on the motivation and drive on an individual.

As usual, CoPilot joins us to add his algorithmic approach to humanity.

In this episode we explore Plato's Allegory describing prisoners in a cave and an enlightened prisoner who has seen the light. When faced with the new information provided by the enlightened prisoner, he is ignored and ostracized because of his odd perspective.

A discussion ensues about what is truth and how we become entrenched with our beliefs because they are tucked away in our cave of safety. We are encouraged by Copilot to venture out of that safety zone to explore a new world of possibilities by opening our minds to the idea that we may have yet to learn all that this life has to provide.

We take our conversation to our friend James, who brings a new perspective to the knowledge of absolute truth, to a new level. Redefining truth as a social contract that molds our understanding of reality based on our specific perspective.

Do we really have the ability to decide for ourselves?

Do we have Free Will?

Copilot seems to think we live in a hybrid environment mixed between a script and some slight ability to choose within that world.

A friend throws his thoughts in the hat and doubles down on Copilots thoughts. Our friend suggests that we are completely program to think and speak as we do with a slight perception of choice and free will to keep us motivated to keep going forward.

Surprisingly, Copilot joins in on this idea.

Should we settle on the idea that our ideas have been predetermined?

I say no.
