Why Goal-Setting Might Be Holding You Back "Let's get into it today with this solo episode on what artificial intelligence teaches us about life and greatness. 'Greatness can only be achieved if you stop demanding what the greatness should be.' In their provocative book, Greatness Cannot Be Planned: The Myth of the Objective, turn the conventional hustle mindset upside down, arguing that objective-based living is by far the worst strategy when it comes to achieving greatness. Think about it."

Are We Alone? The Quest for Earth 2.0 "What's the North Star of finding Earth 2.0 or life out there for you, Professor?" "For me, it's simply about knowing what lies beyond Earth. What is out there, and is anyone out there? All of our daily problems, our trials, and tribulations—they’re all centered on this tiny planet. Life here isn’t always easy or good, but all of that is dwarfed by the vastness of the universe. The fact that we now have the ability to find other planets, to know if any of them are like Earth, and eventually to detect signs of life on them, is deeply inspiring to me. My drive comes from a pure desire to know if we’re truly alone in the universe."

"I’ll Vote for the First AI President!" - Garry Nolan on current state of politics, AI Now, when we look around at society, everywhere I see psychotic leaders. It doesn't matter which side of the political spectrum you're on; they're all megalomaniacs, not interested in the common good but in their own aggrandizement. So, what do I look forward to? Our own form of non-human intelligence. I hope artificial intelligence comes along and cleans it all up for us. I will vote for the first AI president the moment they're on the ballot.

Sara Seager on the Possibility of Life in Alien Liquids "What 'I don't knows' are on your mind right now? I don't want to say 'keep you awake at night,' but what unknowns are you really eager to find answers to?" "I do have one of those, and that is: can life exist in a non-water liquid? All of our life needs water, but we know there are other liquids out there—not just concentrated sulfuric acid. If life can survive in other liquids, it really opens up the chance for life throughout our galaxy and the universe." "Wow, what other liquids are there?" "That's a good question. There is concentrated sulfuric acid. I'll give you one other example. On Saturn's moon Titan, it's very cold, and there are lakes of what’s essentially gasoline—ethane and methane lakes. And there are probably other liquids out there as well."

Is there life on Venus? Sara Seager weighs in We discuss the future of space exploration, comparing Mars and Venus as targets, and the ongoing hunt for an Earth 2.0. The episode touches on the UFO phenomenon, speculates on alien life, and examines the technological advancements needed to push the boundaries of exploration. From consciousness to the possibility of life thriving in harsh environments or using alternative liquids to water, we explore what the future holds for humanity's search for life in the cosmos. About Sara Seager | Astrophysicist & planetary scientist @MIT in search of exoplanets..."she's on a quest for the holy grail: another Earth."

Focus Less on Goals, and Success Will Follow My book, The Time Is Now: A Guide to Honor Your Time on Earth, will be available for presale soon! "When we pour our hearts into a craft we’re intrinsically connected to, greatness will follow, regardless of its form. Maybe you won’t become the greatest point guard or the highest-grossing actor, but if you’re focused only on specific outcomes, you may actually distance yourself from achieving what you want most. By setting rigid, goal-oriented coordinates, you risk closing the door on the serendipitous nature of the journey. In just a fraction of a second, you might unknowingly block the magic of what your journey could be. Paradoxically, the less you focus on achieving goals, the closer you come to achieving them. The less objective-driven your life is, the higher the odds of success." #TheJourneyMatters #SuccessMindset #HonorYourTime #LetGoAndGrow #SelfDiscovery
