  • Episode 12: Introversion, The Limits of Therapy, and Cultural Concerns
    Sep 28 2024

    It's difficult enough to get to therapy. It's even more heartbreaking when you realize that no matter how hard you tried, it didn't work. And it's NOT your fault.

    Unfortunately, this is the reality facing many Asians and Asian-Americans. On this sobering episode, Amos Vang and Godwin Chan discuss the difficult reality of the cultural limits of therapy and the clashing of the WEIRD mindset (Western, Educated, Industrial, Rich, and Democratic) with non-WEIRD mindsets. Amos and Godwin also explain in more detail the introvert experience, as well as how extroverts can relate to introverts in a culturally extroverted Western world.

    DISCLAIMER: this episode does NOT aim to give any medical advice at all. Nor is it claiming that ALL therapy fails (therapy can work for some people). This episode simply shines light on an important yet socially taboo topic: that therapy is not necessarily for everyone, and that therapy must improve in order to accommodate more people.

  • Episode 11: This is the Legend of Godwin Chan
    Aug 31 2024

    An episode 20+ years in the making. Scientist, venture capitalist, angel investor, podcaster. This is the Legend Of Godwin Chan. Godwin will also be a regular feature on the podcast and will co-host some episodes. Amos Vang and Godwin Chan have been friends for over 20 years: since kindergarten/Grade 1! Over these decades, the two friends have had thousands of fascinating conversations about metaphysical philosophy, epistemological philosophy, cultural philosophy, classical musical philosophy, quantum physics, string theory, T-symmetry and the theoretical reversal of time and entropy, evolutionary biology, peak oil, civilizational collapse, causality, T-symmetry, and many other topics. #philosophy #startup #culture #conversation #legend Join Amos Vang as he features Godwin’s career and adventures. The conversation gets REALLY good starting at about 57:00 onwards, and it exemplifies their off-camera, off-mic conversations. Such topics include (but are not limited to): - the limitations of the schooling system, - cultural humility and understanding of Western and non-Western cultures, - introversion vs. extroversion, - Western cultural philosophy vs Chinese cultural philosophy [i.e. Confucianism, Legalism, Taoism, etc.] (and why Chinese culture tends to be a bit better at mediation than Western cultures), - Dunbar’s Number, - Free will vs predeterminism, predeterminism vs. predestination; why free will (arguably) does NOT exist, why predestination (arguably) also does NOT exist, and why predetermination (arguably) exists, - Meaning vs. no meaning, intrinsic meaning vs. the illusion of meaning, Kierkegaardian Existentialism, Camusian Absurdism, Schopenhauerian determinism, heat death of the universe, human extinction, and what that means for a human’s life.
