What does the episode’s opening introduce and who are the hosts?
Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with Feedback Friday producer, my nomadic Teo, helping me chart your new Camino, Gabriel Mizrahi.
That's a good one. You are not the only uncle now, Teo.
I love how they use that there, doesn't it? It just kinda means like dude, right? But it's like unk, but maybe not like boomer. As you're not calling someone a boomer with that necessarily. It literally means uncle, but it's But
it's like dude or man, exactly.
I feel like Unk is almost like Unk doesn't know how to use the iPad at McDonald's.
Correct. Yeah, that's a different thing.
Yeah. And they're usually right about that. Anyway, the the irony now is that you are actually a TO and I'm not. Nor will I ever will be. That's how that works.
You're Papa, I'm TO.
That's right.
Both uncle and dude. So we've got all the titles covered.
In multiple languages, yeah, it's getting out of hand. On the Jordan Harbinger Show, we decode the stories, secrets, and skills of the world's most fascinating people. Our mission is to help you become a better informed, more critical thinker. During the week, we have long form conversations with a variety of amazing folks, mafia enforcers, generals, investigative journalists, astronauts, tech luminaries. This week we had Imad Mostak, founder of Stability AI and Intelligent Internet, and the author of The Last Economy, a Guide to the Age of Intelligent Economics. Now we talked about how AI is actually turning human intellect into an abundant commodity, and how that shift is cracking the old engines of work, money, and personal meaning.
He's got a blueprint for new systems that defend human agency at scale. Basically, a civilization scale software update. Really interesting guy, actually. I he he usually, when he's interviewed, the thumbnail is. Like all the jobs will be over in 500 days, but we actually took it a little bit more down to earth and less made it less YouTube soundbite-y for the show here. We also had Dr. Chris Ryan, author of Civilized to Death, The Price of Progress. So you might know him as the co-author of the best-selling book, Sex at Dawn. In Civilized to Death, Chris explores the ways in which progress has perverted the way that we live, how we eat, how we learn, how we feel, mate, parent, communicate. work and even die.
It's a great through line for a ton of fascinating insight into our most essential human experiences. And we had a skeptical Sunday last Sunday on the housing crisis. On Fridays though we share stories, take listener letters, offer advice, play obnoxious sound bites, and keep up with Gabe's far-flung midlife crisis.
Transition. Midlife refraction.
Your midlife inquiry.
That's right. It's not a crisis if it's a question mark,
you know? I'm good. I'm good. There's some truth to that. I guess it depends on how many bad decisions you make. Irreversible bad life altering decisions that you make during this period of
your life. It's uh it's all in the punctuation. If there's a weird Spanish question mark at the beginning of it, it's fine. You're good. Yeah, got it.
Hello listeners, Jace here. If you'd rather skip the story of Jordan's horrific flight home from China, trapped behind the most offensively smelling man he's ever encountered, you can buy yourself a first class ticket and jump to timestamp 13 minutes. Enjoy the show. You're back from China.
I am and I gotta tell you, I I saved this for you 'cause I knew you'd like it. The plane ride home was an actual nightmare. I don't just mean window shades up at night nightmare for people making fun of me already on the subreddit.
Oh man. Why do you always have nightmare flights? You have a weird number of nightmare flights.
I have a couple here and there, but they stand out so bad because they're really, really awful. I mean, I I do go to places with different social norms, but okay, so here's here's what happens. Yeah, when I was in when I was talking to Chat GPT about it 'cause I was asking certain questions, it was like, You can't say that and I was like, But what do you mean?
