EF2 (Intro): Life is a Near-Death Experience (Welcome to The Evolve Faster Podcast)

Evolve Faster with Scott Ely

In this introduction to the Evolve Faster Podcast, we’ll ride an hour-long roller coaster of a thought experiment designed to challenge your normal modes of conscious life experience. We’ll look at a psychological tendency that makes it difficult for you to break out of the mental auto-pilot in which you rarely acknowledge the fact that you could die around the next curve. Next, we’ll investigate what it means to Evolve Faster as a metaphor for personal and societal change. Finally, we’ll examine where the podcast will go from here into the regular seasons--groups of 10 (or so) themed episodes, written and produced in a unique fiction-meets-nonfiction format.
