Current Week
Week 16, 2025
- 🎥 Slow Horses (S1) on Apple TV is a nail biting fun thriller series; that also allowed me to feel for each character than just letting them be props for thrills- and what well made
- 🎧 A legit throwback to the desi songs of my growing up era 🪩 it was so fun seeing my wife dance on the way to finish the set each morning this week :)
- 🎧 Kevin Von Erich in conversation with Theo Von warmed my heart
- 🎥 'Dope Thief' on Apple TV is so nail bitingly racy & fun + the title track is gem of a melody
- 🙂↔️ Art of Stillness, a retreat on Waking Up app by Adyashanti touched me viscerally
Week 15, 2025
- 🎧 Conversation between Lenny and Open AI’s CPO what stood out for me was the little bit about AI making inroads in schooling/ education
- 🎥 I will teach my boys to be dangerous men
- 📖 Great thread on schools, highly recommend
Week 14, 2025
- 🎥 If I were starting in Obsidian today, this is exactly what I’d do
- 🎥 kaafi relatable and funny stand-up set 😁
- 🎧 Saanson Ki Maala | Amrita Kaur 🤌
- 🎥 Abhishek Upmanyu on Chalchitra Talks - I enjoyed the conversation so much... seeing them appreciate art and comedy felt so nice :) came back with renewed josh to let myself immerse more in the fun & artsy stuff.
- 📖 How to ask for what you don't expect from LLMs
- 📖 Generic framework to make long term decisions
- 📖 😆
- 🎧 Naval on Modern Wisdom podcast - Back many years ago when he came on Joe Rogan’s he really blew my mind... this time around I enjoyed hearing him putting words to insights that I may not have yet overtly verbalised, kind of reaffirm what is already understood. Guess this means progress :)
- 📖 Dream your dreams
- 🎧 Hanuman Chalisa in Sid Sriram's voice and style is of infinite repeat value
Week 13, 2025
- 🎥 The Studio on Apple TV is hilarious :D
- 🎥 DJ with Apple Music - Now rekordbox has the same feature for which I switched over to Algoriddam's DJAY Pro. As the video points, this is a tipping point for a streaming first DJing era.
- 📖 Future of mental health, and medicine in general, is exciting. It too is on the cusp of so much change. Glad to see companies like this already emerging/thriving in the west. Wonder when India will (be allowed to) catch up.
- 📖 AI changing education & school systems is what excites me most these days. Alpha School was in much news this week
- 📖 How tyre recycling issues are fueling an environmental crisis in India - the numbers related to waste and disposal, in general, boggle my mind.
- 🎧 Chat between Tyler Cowen and David Perell had many gems for me. Biggest one was that he doesn’t care if everyone stops reading his stuff, he will not let AI touch his writing. But he uses AI like a pro for gains in thinking/reading all the time everyday. Also quoting what especially stood out for me:
Two pieces of general advice, with or without AI in the world, that I think are pretty good for almost everyone is get more and better mentors and work every day at improving the quality of your peer network.
- 📖 Chatbots will pull lonely people further away from human connections, the studies corroborate this intuitive truth.
- 🎧 Listened to the explanation of Sukhmani Sahab by Shivpreet Singh. I find the author's voice very calming and soulful.
Week 12, 2025
- 🎥 Watched Adolescence on Netflix and quite liked it. Many things stood out and became food for thought. This thread said all I wanted to hear after watching the show.
