(The actual episode starts at 4:30) Hello, dear listeners. After roughly a year without a real podcast episode, I come before you with the longest episode in Thinking Lounge history: the Turkic Episode. This isn't the ep
I take a stab at the human condition. In this, I talk about evil, humanity, complexities, mental health, and what it means to be a human being. It's very...esoteric, I believe. A lot of what I said may or may not resonat
I have returned AND I have another episode. Kinda just a yap session where I talk about moving with your most potential. Enjoy!
Today, I decided I'd try to answer why it feels like we aren't genuine anymore in the most genuine way possible. I claim that it is because our culture is one of slop, irony, and fear. This is definitely one of the bette
Once again, I've decided to do another episode on aura. This time, I question what it means to have aura and if YOU (yes, you) have aura at all. Give it a listen if you're thinking about your aura. Or if you just wanna l
A less esoteric and thought out episode today. I kinda rant about why we aren't decent anymore and why that sucks. Also, I have two guests on this episode too! So, you should definitely listen to it. (in a cargo box?)
Even though school's starting back up, I'm still here doing ATD. We're gonna be consistent. For today's episode, I talk about things like peer pressure, knowing yourself, individuality, and other things along that line.
Essentially, it's the rizz episode all over again. If you're here for advice, a laugh, or for some insight into my brain, you'll enjoy my 26 rules of game.
In today's episode, I decided I'd take a shot at psychology. I talk about the idea of being a performer in society, the logic behind performance, and the portrayal of self in regards to love. There's a lot more content p
Today, I talk about why heartbreak happens, our responses to heartbreak, and how to handle/deal with heartbreak. This is longer than usual, so I hope you're genuinely interested in this topic! Or have an unemployed minds
I'm back talking about things vaguely related to love. I talk about types of attachments, their role in attractions, and how to (kinda) improve your relationships. Enjoy! (also answer the poll plz)
In this episode, we dive into the incredibly complex topic known as misogyny. This part includes me talking to my friends, Maggie and Kirsten, about things like the manosphere, internalized misogyny, how patriarchy effec
Today, I talk about energies and aura. It's definitely not similar to anything else I've talked about and there's no parallels between other episodes. It's not super intelligent, but it absolutely is worth listening to i
In this episode, we explore the topic of romance and try to answer the question of whether or not romance has been devalued. I'd give it a listen if you wanna hear some intelligent takes with a bit of humor. Give us your
This is not a normal episode. I recorded this in one take and I got progressively more passionate/unhinged towards the end. Maybe you'll like it.
The Thinking Lounge is back for 2025!!! As a nice start to the year, I decided to talk about emptiness today. This episode is a little bit deeper than the others, so there is that. But, aside from that, it's pretty norma
With the year coming to a close, I thought it was only right to talk about hindsight. I touch on the importance of reflection, moving beyond the past, and other things like that. It's pretty interesting, so I'd give it a
I decide to tackle love and hate today. This is a much longer episode than usual, so there's a lot of yapping in this. Give it a listen 'cuz it's pretty awesome. I get very nuanced and talk about the various forms of lov
Ignorance is not bliss. Also, I'm on YT now, so shoutout. Enjoy!
