Episode 5: Smart Phones and Dumb People

July 30, 2025 • Ethan Stevenson and Dominic Streeter

In this episode, we discuss about the information overload that surrounds everyone today and how to respond to it. We assess the dangers of secondhand knowledge, why wisdom and IQ are not the same thing, and the need for patience and discipline when learning new things. Join us around the fire, no matter where you may be.
