Episode 141: The Weight of Time
Welcome to Episode 141 of The Endless Growth Podcast!
This week, Alex and Edgar ease back into the mic with stories, reflection, and a surprising amount of depth for an episode that starts with unpacked luggage and post-vacation laziness. From returning home after travel to trying to re-adjust to normal life, the conversation opens with humor and honesty about routine, rest, and how sometimes “getting back into life” is harder than the vacation itself.
That light start quickly turns into something bigger. Alex shares what visiting Alcatraz did to his perspective, not just historically, but mentally. From solitary confinement and the psychology of darkness to the idea of “use it or lose it,” the discussion explores how the brain responds to stimulation, structure, and meaning. The conversation expands into purpose, routine, and how easily things can deteriorate without intention.
From there, the episode takes a left turn into technology, the future, and the weird era we're living in. Waymo self-driving cars, AI-generated videos, deepfakes, and a world where truth is harder to verify spark conversations about trust, progress, and the unknown. What starts as jokes about buses and tint percentages evolves into bigger questions about risk, the future of work, and how fast innovation is reshaping everything.
If you’ve ever come home from a trip and felt different, questioned how fast life is changing, or wondered what the world will look like in 20 years, this one will hit home.
Tap in and thank you for listening.
