- čas přidán 16. 05. 2024
- Kevin Kelly is the founder of Wired Magazine, a futurist, author, and public speaker known for his insights on technology’s impact on society.
Working out how to live a good life is complex. However, having rules from someone much older and wiser than you can make this a lot easier. Kevin has condensed a lifetime of insights into a few hundred sentences in his new book, and today we get to go through some of my favourites.
Expect to learn why you should do everything you can to avoid being a billionaire, how to have a more optimistic outlook on life, whether you can trust websites with the word ‘truth’ in them, why you are more likely to be defeated by blisters rather than mountains, how to understand yourself better, the best way to turn bad days into good ones, how to understand yourself better by being irritated by other people and much more...

I would like to access your MW flashcards/ dictionary. if you are selling them I am likely to buy them. just let me know where
Can we ignore also anything with the word WISDOM in it? 😂😂😂😂😂
Regret is another way to not care about asking stupid questions and practicing the ask pushes you more into not GAF about what people think of you either!
This man embodies what I believe an Ancient Roman Stoic would look like
Really enjoyed this. I’m glad I’m not alone in my optimism.
Always wonderful to hear Kevin. Love his book..
what a great interview, thank you Chris
Chris, I am only four minutes in and I am so grateful for this interview already. I NEED to hear this right now, as I am hopefully at the tail end of a decade that has been non-stop challenges and negativity. I'm not suicidal but the joy for life has been sucked right out of me and it has been very hard to stay positive.
I already feel encouraged and I have barely gotten into the episode. You are inspiring and I appreciate you and your channel so much! ❤
Hang in there. You will be ok
Such a great episode, thank you Chris!
Wonderful episode 👌🏼Went so smoothly and made my day better.
Excellent, very enjoyable, well done. 👍
thank you both for this :)
This was a very insightful discussion for me. Made me think a lot about what influences my won opinions. Thank you.
Great episode Chris!
Thanks Chris
Your questions are sooooooooooo good!
They aren’t questions… and they aren’t from Chris. It’s from the guest.
Wow, that's gonna be great even before I watch it.
love this chris ! = )
wow this video was incredibly eye opening and interesting
Love Kevin Kelly, so I knew I’d love this, however, Chris’s insight, intelligence and self awareness in the pursuit to be the best human he can be, elevates and changes this conversation to another level. It’s also fresh and not redundant. 👏🏻
This is an amazing show. I am a designer with 20 years experience, I am just now producing my first piece of furniture as a commercial product, and the process I am adopting is exactly the same as this show..
Regarding the mindset of dealing with bad days:
I heard this piece of advice once that I've since used to tune my mindset.
"Today could be your best day ever, and you just don't know yet. But believing that it could be already puts you closer to it being true."
When I start any day thinking that, or remind myself that even despite setbacks, there's no reason that isn't still true, it puts me in such a positive mindset to approach every other activity or task in my day.
This is great thank you :)
Elevating your average or worst days instead of going for peak experiences fits neatly to Malcom Gladwell's talk about weak and strong link sports!! Great interview!!! Thank you very much for your content :)
55:33 You CAN be kind with a random act to a stranger. But when it comes to dealings with an associate there must always be an escalation in value exchanged. It starts on your part with a smile and good energy and then its THEIR turn to reciprocate and raise the bar. Anyone who comes to you for a hand out without offering value first is someone who is JUST looking to take. Even if your resources were infinite your dignity should guide your response.
Some really brilliant, and inspiring ideas... Disagree with the Conspiracy chapter, 'there's no them', i would definitely point to the WEF and their agenda's, which are just clear as day at this point, as an argument against that... but that chapter aside, a very valuable podcast. 👍
Fully agree. Most people just cannot handle the idea that culture is planned, it's too disruptive for them. Read Tragedy and Hope by Carol Quigley as an initiation, then try to find out who owns the bank of international settlements. There is definitely a Them.
LMAO!!!! You people are incredible. You've confused planning, which happens in everything from what you're having for breakfast to the Monetary Fund, for conspiracies, which are criminal by definition. And Conspiracy Theories, which are psyop mind control devices designed to turn you against your government, media, medical establishment, religious establishment, universities, etc., by scaring you away from the air you breath, water you drink, food you eat, medicine you take, etc.
But hey, if it makes you feel important for "knowing what the stupid sheeple don't know" then have at it. You're just getting farther and farther away from reality. And don't that THAT not a plan, too! LOL!!
34:38 Chris, this is really quite good old chap! 😄
Thank you! ❤ Great episode! I'm actually watching it in full for the second time. There is so much to learn from this one. I also felt that there was a lot of chemistry between Chris & Kevin Kelly.
Wise.

I love Mr.Kevin "Let the World burn and only then we think about how to extinguish it" Kelly
But seriously, I love this guy.
His Principles are top-notch (His conclusions are what's cringe for me, borderline trolling. I no longer know which)
Great. 👏
55:49 that is similar to resume virtues vs eulogy virtues by David Brooks
is there a list of the 22 things
My cousin had a tiny bit of fame when I was a teenager. He was in a band that toured with Busted, so of course all the Busted fans also became his fans. He couldn't have a cup of coffee in the train station with his parents. I know from that point that I never wanted to be famous, ever.
Depends what you are famous for, a novelist might be famous but anonymous.
@@grannyannie2948 aye. Banksy is another low key example.
Wow
Do my best not to be a billionaire. I got this!
Practice these Six Pillars of good Character: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship. We recommend always using good CHARACTER does COUNT
I’ve never had that much money, but I think you can definitely spend a billion lol
Happiness makes up in height what it lacks in length
Regret is another way to not care about asking stupid questions and practicing the ask pushes you more into not GAF about what people think of you either!

👏👏👏
The wealth for time is very subjective, and to me, most people I admire are less about free time and more about producing, working till they day they die, always looking for new ventures.
Not saying it’s healthier or better but seems to me that the people with the most free time are the least happy and interesting.
"Being right vs. being kind" has a lot of nuance that wasn't explored here.
Is a CEO kind when he fires 100 people to save the jobs of 200? Is it kind to tell someone something that makes then feel bad in the short term but improves their long term outcome?
In most professional settings, we want someone to who finds the kindest way to be right (e.g. a doctor).
I’m always down because I feel I wasted years of my life not doing anything, and I feel it may be too late for me to accomplish some of those things I still seek. I don’t know how to forgive myself and move forward. Can anyone help me out here?
Yeah brother. You don't control the past. You only have right now, so do the next right thing. Outside of making things worse and doing the next wrong thing. It's the only choice you have
Were you born in 1995 ?
You are bold for expressing this
Danx Danx, Yeah.
In the same boat
22:10 or any country that has the word "Democratic" in its name.
Idk... I feel like there is a "them" in some cases.
I just want to be
Read the Gospels. Most radical, more radical than anything since.
Kevin Kelly looks like the saltiest of sea dogs of old who would still croak through a gravelly voice and sing sea shanties like “Drunken Sailor” or “Wellerman” with the lads
That's a lot of habits. I can't even follow the 10 Commandments. Looks like I have more work to do...
😂
(the 10) Commandments are in fact "utterances"
22 habits to follow ??? No wonder I ‘m a misfit 😅😅
Be optimistic
It's only a lot if you try to build them all at once.
Interesting chat, but it seems like y'all are overthinking things in order to seem deep.
Wired was a great magazine when it first appeared. Genuinely interesting articles and different viewpoints on niche unfolding issues. Now though, it’s nothing more than a predictable and boring mouthpiece for the establishment regurgitating the usual dogmas.
This fails to recognise the west truly peaked in the 1990s
This must be why 90s themed parties are the best.
❤️💖❤️💖🙏💖❤️💖❤️
Heaven and Hell. If you are living in your car and you want to, you are in Heaven. If you are living in your car and you don't want to be, you are in Hell. All just a point of view. Making love and rape are just "consent", I want to or don't want to. The secret is in being on the right path.
Barack Obama 😳
N1 Marry an Asian woman
boring zzzzzz
The more Kelly speaks the less impressive he seems to be.
Went off kev after he started only fans
