About this episode

24:23 to skip specific American politics


In this episode:

  • Surveillance & privacy considerations for devices
  • Resistance is working
  • General strike & Mar 15 shutdown (#Shutdown315)
  • Emotional survival: monotropic reset, alpha brain waves

Links mentioned:

  1. Surveillance guide for devices
  2. How to change Meta settings to limit tracking (note there is no way to make Messenger app safe)
  3. Ad-blocking guide (note that I haven't vetted all their recommendations, though I do use one of them already)
  4. General Strike USA
  5. March 15 2025 general shutdown in US #Shutdown315
  6. The Open-Focus Brain by Les Fehmi is the book I don't automatically recommend bc of offensive disability language, plus I personally didn't find the exercises as helpful as when another ND person led me. That said, the book may still be helpful to you. There are hundreds of open focus exercises on YouTube, and I may try to find one that I like and link it here at some point.
  7. Article, "My problems with the Constructed Theory of Emotions," (the critique of How Emotions Are Made) 
  8. Andrew Huberman is a liar article

Not in episode, but I adore this takedown of Matthew Walker's book Why We Sleep
