  Turning 27: Every Minute Has to Count | Ep 096

  Sep 21, 202643 minS2

  Do you feel older? No. Way sharper. A birthday episode, recorded at the top of a Monday. Why "do you feel older" carries a presupposition worth refusing, the two weeks the scroll was replaced by the book, the Emerson passage from Self-Reliance read in full, and the realization that the academy is not teaching lacrosse anymore. It is trying to light the spark that makes someone want to become insanely unique, and then handing them the torch. Chapters 00:00 It's a birthday, and the question we don't like: do you feel older? 01:17 Kempis: you must replace custom with custom. Two weeks without the scroll. 02:09 As a Man Thinketh before Mass: nobody reads these words and goes back to normal 03:28 Yesterday's wisdom to win today: a remembering, not a discovery 04:29 The biggest moat is motion 07:19 Circle of interest versus circle of influence 09:10 Emerson's Self-Reliance, read in full: the lengthened shadow of one man 12:01 We are not teaching lacrosse anymore. We are a mirror and sandpaper. 13:33 Fall in love with the lifestyle, not the place 15:09 If the effort is not there it is an insult. Hobbies don't change people. 17:57 Every minute has to count, and Kipling's unforgiving minute 19:15 Roosevelt read a book a day. Franklin read when the work was done. 21:19 Retroactive rage: what school could have taught 22:18 You.Prjct: a hundred days from now, how much time have I given to the dream? 25:17 Dads and sons on runs. You don't wait for the kid to have a dream. 27:21 If you have to earn the post, it is the most positive echo chamber in the world 29:23 Her greatest advantage is her youth 31:59 The power law, and a product so good it does not need marketing 33:43 Class is millions of brushstrokes of discipline 34:12 Inconsistency guarantees you will never be successful 35:32 Seneca: study wisdom and you are given new eyes 38:32 AI as pattern compression, and what stays uniquely human 40:43 Masterpiece, work in progress: coherence and the steps of faith 41:22 Care most for the things you will have the longest "You cannot come in contact with these ideas, with this such empowering belief in your agency, and go back to normal." The Infinite Game, Ep 096. The Infinite Game is a weekly conversation between twin brothers Harrison and Henry Schertzinger on mental, spiritual, and physical health. Discipline, faith, identity, athlete mindset, and the wisdom of the greats. If this one was worth your time, follow the show so the next one finds you.

  Emerson on Losing Friends as You Get Better | Ep 095

  Sep 8, 202629 minS2

  A scientist once stayed in the dark long enough that his eye began to record ultraviolet, light nobody knew a human could see. Gerald Heard uses that as his picture of prayer, and this episode uses it as the picture of everything else worth training: the run at 4:30 that nobody claps for, the reading, the skill you are still bad at. What you can perceive is trained, and most people leave the room long before they find that out. It opens cold on a line about a man who, having lifted himself, lifts the world by his example. Then Henry and Harrison start where improvement actually costs something, which is the friends you lose as you get serious. Emerson has the sentence for it. "A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends, for every friend whom he loses for truth he gains a better." Nobody is at fault. It is a fallout of frequency, and it is the shape of the thing rather than a failure inside it. Then the long read, from Gerald Heard's Training for the Life of the Spirit . Scrape off any sense that prayer is unreal. Go back to Heraclitus and own that the senses are bad witnesses, that it is not only the will at fault but the understanding, because we do not merely fail to do the right thing, we cannot even see it. Get rid of "that scar tissue on the eye of the true mind." Build, by long and patient exercise of mind and body, the psychophysical athleticism that lets you attend steadily and long enough to apprehend reality. Then the ultraviolet. From there it opens out. Why nobody hands you a blue check mark for running at 4:30 in the morning, and why you have to assign uniqueness to a thing that has no following yet, starting with yourself. The hype machine and the ranking accounts, and how little any of it is worth in the room you are actually working toward. Integrity as integration rather than levels. Prayer as listening rather than speaking. Divine delay. Aquinas on a thirsty man and a God who "wouldn't make him thirsty if there wasn't water." Attack your weakness. Do something new, make it your new normal. And the woman on the tee box who cannot swing correctly because she has never seen what the ideal looks like. It lands back on Emerson. "Valor consists in the power of self-recovery, so that a man cannot have his flank turned, cannot be out-generaled. But put him where you will, he stands." If you are doing something real that nobody has noticed yet, this one is for you. Stay in the dark long enough to see it.

  Emerson's Circles: Why Progress Is Never a Straight Line | Ep 094

  Sep 2, 202628 minS2

  When you are fatigued, those thoughts are not you. They are hijacking you. A player asked a good question after Tuesday conditioning: what am I supposed to think about when I am running? That question opens into Emerson's Circles , read out loud, and the argument that being does not expand in a straight line. The results of neglect are perfectly predictable. The results of devotion are not. Chapters 00:07 A player asks: what do I think about when I am running? 01:09 Describe to me what you mean by "yourself" 01:46 When you are fatigued, those thoughts are hijacking you 02:15 Monday miles, the wall, and offering the suffering up 02:52 Our default mode is not excellence. Excellence is trained. 04:11 Seneca: take the empire, leave the mind, he still has the empire 05:00 North Carolina was not an affirmation, it was proved at 4:40 in the morning 05:58 Your morning is your first masterpiece 07:19 We are the results of our rituals, and why the bed still gets checked off 08:22 Maximilian Kolbe: keep order and order will keep you 09:58 Emerson: life is a series of surprises 11:36 The results of the bad are predictable. The results of the good are not. 13:38 Stop thinking in lines. Think in nested, expanding circles. 17:23 Day 37, day 42, and waiting for the miracle 19:57 The etymology of decision: to cut from 22:39 Sip on a great book. Five minutes here, five minutes here. 25:00 Information is in formation. Put yourself in formation. 27:40 You can short some stocks. Do not short yourself. Stay long. "Truth is divine and helpful, but how it shall help me I can have no guess." Ralph Waldo Emerson, Circles , read on the show.

  There Are No Boring Days, Only Untrained Observers | Ep 093

  Aug 31, 202626 minS2

  Perception can be coached. There are no boring days, only untrained observers — boredom is a failure of perception, not a fact of the day. We're back and going practical: identity and the finite game. Why finite players veil their own freedom and take up their role with total seriousness — "you must see yourself as it" — while still able to step back to who they really are. Long time horizons, language that codes your identity, and why no cleared Saturday is ever boring. Chapters 0:13 Big morning: win a Monday 0:24 Making the show practical: playing life at a higher level 2:31 Going as hard as we can while everyone else watches football 3:30 If your body can continue, don't let your mind commit treason 4:27 Long time horizons: anything you want in five years (Jordan Peterson) 5:02 Gaining days back for your dream 6:22 Finite players veil their own freedom (Carse) 6:49 You must see yourself as it, and the game begins 7:41 "Ophelia is this woman": adopting the identity (Shaw) 9:40 Nested identities: the lacrosse player and the son of God 11:34 Language codes your identity: bound the negative in time 13:45 The mission keeps you company; the books are always there 17:01 Winning keeps its hands in its pockets until it sees someone worthy 18:06 The batter's box: it is now 19:10 There are no boring days, only untrained observers 20:35 The journey is looking through new eyes (Proust) 24:00 Impersonal questions: what would greatness do here? 25:21 There's no failure, only iteration "There are no boring days, only untrained observers. Boredom is a failure of perception, and perception can be coached." (The Infinite Game, Ep 093) The Infinite Game with Harrison and Henry Schertzinger.

  Finite and Infinite Games: Why "I Have To" Kills the Thing You Love | Ep 092

  Aug 25, 202625 minS2

  You cannot play a game you are forced to play. The moment training, work, or faith becomes a "must," the life goes out of it. We read James Carse's Finite and Infinite Games through sport, discipline, and the year ahead. The through-line: choose it freely, play for love, and failure disappears. There is only the next moment of a game that never has to end. Chapters 0:00 No bad days: the gift of being on mission 3:56 The AI age raises the standard 6:51 The lost year: 4.5 hours a day from 13 to 18 8:15 The book: finite games and the infinite game 9:37 School vs. life: whoever must play, cannot play 11:10 Play for the love of it, not to reach Carolina 14:02 No failure, only moments 14:59 The outcome does not get negotiated, the system does 18:35 The rules make the game: Chesterton's tiger 19:43 Discipline in bouts 22:57 Discipline as a gift: carrying what persists 24:28 Close "The outcome does not get negotiated. The system does." (The Infinite Game, Ep 092) The Infinite Game with Harrison and Henry Schertzinger.
