The Autodidactic Human

So, what I believe to be "common sense" is actually something not so common. What is it and why do we rely on it at all? And what does it have to do with critical thinking?

Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like. Here, I want to provide a perspective on the Bible that I've picked up along the way. If you're religious, this may be for you. If you aren't, this still may be pretty entertaining. (Also, I have to apologize for the low audio quality, for I recorded this on a device that I wasn't used to recording on. Feel free to bump up the volume on this one.)

What is narcissism? How do we recognize when you're in the pattern of this personality disorder? What can we do to overcome it? Dr. Ramani Durvasula speaks of an acronym that really helps breaks down the solution (known as DEEP), and I want to dive into that for a bit. For more information, I highly recommend watching this video as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuqT0oSFUSI&t=6s&ab_channel=...

What is freedom? What is control? How we define both is the key to not only exercising them, but maintaining them throughout our lives. 

Driving may be a simple affair, but it happens to be one of the most dangerous things we engage in every day. What are some of the behaviors that we exhibit on the road? How can we create more awareness for this scenario?

How do you feel about our criminal justice system? Do you believe that it delivers it's justice fairly? What about our history as a country? There are a lot of questions I truly have about this subject. 

Morality can be defined as the "ability to discern behavior as right or wrong," but how can we shape it? What does morality actually do for us? How does it tie into polarization? 

You really have to sit and think about what it really means to "fail yourself."

What are some relationship green flags? How can we recognize them when they're occurring? Turns out, the nature of relationship green flags is constant work. 

I am one of those people who suffers from depression and anxiety, yet I often still seek happiness. Learning to hold yourself can be difficult, but I feel like it's a necessary part of growing up. 

This one is meant to take you through some of my journeys through homelessness, as well as hopefully providing a bit of light for that tunnel. If you want to leave some feedback or wish to be a part of it: https://anchor.fm/nina-black0/message

This is all about that Wacky Tabaccy. The 101 on cannabis, a bit of the laws behind it, and tips on how to be a good consumer of it; we also touch on a bit of those synthetic derivatives.

This episode is meant to dive into the values we place upon employment while exploring what it means to have work *be* valuable to you. If you have a topic you wish to hear about, have any thoughts you'd like to share, or would like to be on this podcast, drop me a line. 

This refers to your sensitivity with the people you live around.

So, we've had a pretty terrible journey with this monster, but what can we do about it? I hope to offer a solution.

Children serve as a reflection of ourselves in very strong ways.

Truly, I just want to share my perspective on this experience called Life, brining everything down to a human level. In order together, however, we have to break down just what this experience has been for us here.
