Why I've decided to major in philosophy 22:11

1+ y ago22:11

22:11

In this episode, I discuss my process for landing on a major after four full semesters of feeling rather wishy-washy about what I'd pursue. I also discuss what philosophy holds for me, and why I enjoy it, while linking it to my love of music and the ultimate quest for truth. Or something like that. Thanks for listening!…

Apple Trees 11:56

11:56

In this episode, I explore the idea of craving roots as I get older, tying it in to my current obsession with the idea of planting apple trees (and all kinds of other fruit trees and shrubs, for that matter).

The Best Books I Read in 2022 21:56

2y ago21:56

21:56

This year, I read less books because I spent so much time doing university reading. In actuality, I probably read the same, or more, as I usually do.

Don't turn away from suffering. 11:48

Suffering is a part of being human. By turning away from it, opting only for what's positive, do we then become less human? Thanks so much for hanging out with me.

I’m preparing for another semester at university. This time I’ll be dining on a buffet of philosophy classes, three in total, in contrast to my summer meal of three psychology classes.

30 Days of Socializing 14:17

14:17

Hey all! Today's episode is a recount of my "30 days of socializing" experiment from July.

Another (short) one from the blog! Being myself does not mean being my ideal self. - (allyvb.com) Today's topic is a little abstract as I attempt to convey a feeling-essence, not the mind-essence, of meaning.

Hey all! It has been a minute. Today's episode was inspired by an evening walk and yoga session, but fear not - this episode is not about exercise. It is about happiness!

After two long years, I released my second album under The Criminal Kid. It's been over a decade since TCK's first album.

Productivity: Just stop fighting yourself 11:51

We think productivity is all about the left-brain stuff, but humans are primarily emotional beings, so I think some of the biggest productivity gains come from managing emotions. Keeping balanced emotionally is the biggest area for me where I stand to gain. I've probably spent accumulated months feeling pain about something I blew out of proportion…
