We like to think we're open-minded and objective because it makes us feel good about ourselves and of course, nobody wants to be seen as closed-minded, biased or unteachable. But in a world where we all have pre-existing beliefs, ideas, values, likes, dislikes, biases (yes, even you), preferences, programming, standards, perspectives and opinions, is it possible to be truly open-minded, even if we want to be?

#1356 Can We Be Open-Minded? - Harps

This episode with Bobby and Tiff begins exactly as all serious intellectual discussions should: leprosy, skin-cancer cream, hazmat suits, future husbands, and a brief audit of cats, dogs, and personal hygiene standards. So yes - very professional. We jump into a fun conversation about belief, delusion, perception, and performance. Bobby tells the story of being fuelled for years by a study that never existed - Yale, Harvard, written goals, guaranteed success. Total bullshit. And yet… it worked. A functional delusion. Not insanity. Not narcissism. Just enough belief to keep moving when quitting feels logical. We talk Bobby’s Tourette’s, getting kicked out of the military, being broke, living on 99-cent Whoppers, and mistaking rejection for confirmation you’re on the right path (which is either madness or genius - often both). Enjoy.

According to our resident kill-joy, best-selling author and revealer of unpopular truths, bacon might not be the death sentence some "experts" proport it to be. In fact, it might even be good for us. Incredible, I know. But don't believe me, take a read of Gillespo's article - just do a Google search for Substack and the above title. In this episode, we talk about the bacon revelation and lots more, so dive and enjoy.
