The value of ideas – L-Dixon

Transcript

There’s like the whole of human understanding that we currently have. And there’s a lot of experiences and things that happen on the fringes of that, that may or not be legit phenomena. A lot of times when considering these things, people that are more closed-minded might not even wanna –

I’m not really a flat-earther like myself, but when you’re encountering ideas like that that are outside your own paradigm, don’t immediately take it as: “Okay, I’m judging this as it comes in – I’m not even going to listen that; I know it’s not true.”

Even ideas which are not true can expand your idea of what you think is possible, or it can be creative fuel – writing science fiction, or it could connect to something else that is legit.

Integrity – A Man’s Gotta Have a Code Part 1: Link McElvenny & Mr. J. – Episode 135

The Story: Values, principles and ideals

Many people go through this life without thinking too deeply about what it is they value, what they would be willing to die for, and what they would be willing to kill for. It takes an uncommon man to consider the question deeply, and an even rarer man to follow through with his decision when the chips are down. Undoubtedly, people fail in this process all the time, but when you see someone make one of those tough choices, putting his principles above his bank balance, or his integrity before gratification, it can inspire you, and make you wonder: if one soul can stand so firm, firmer than old concrete, what else might it be able to achieve?

In this episode, Kurt is joined by two friends and collaborators, Link McElvenny and Mr. J. to discuss their ideas on the codes, principles, values and frameworks which they use to make decisions, and guide themselves through interesting lives. We discuss liberty, the non-aggression principle, non-violence, masculine and feminine polarity, trying to help others to gain a more empowering perspective, open-mindedness, and the difference between eastern and western views of teaching and learning.

Join us in this next soul-challenging, introspective, middle-path-walking episode of The Paradise Paradox!
