   -61- Cowboy builders and dead ends of autistic brain

   Hello, beautiful people! Welcome back after a few weeks of break! Busy lives, holidays, and here it comes four weeks later! Today, we start with a check-in with each other and beautiful proof of how self-awareness can be useful in your life. Niko talks about realising how his tiredness impacts information processing and learning and how we all need to sometimes just find the strength in accepting that we're weak and need a break. Afterwards, we go into the enigmatic topic of cowboy builders of our minds and lives. We learn and shape throughout our entire life. Some things we learn because we want to, and our parents, school, culture, and environment are passing down some. All of this creates some sort of furnishing of our mind and life. Very rarely do we look inside and rethink the origins and current usefulness of those decor elements. Yet sometimes comes a moment when we learn something new, bring a skill, dream, person or just a thought, and despite us choosing to do so, it feels incredibly uncomfortable, out of place. And for some unknown reason, we're used to discarding the things which feel like this rather than looking inside and thinking, what is stopping me, blocking me, what is clashing there? So listen for why you shouldn't let the cowboy builders of your mind discard things that could make your life more interesting, better, or just a tiny bit more aligned with what you dream of. The second part of the episode was a surprise for the two of us, too! We completely spontaneously discovered the dead end of Niko's autistic brain. We talk about empathy, emotions, understanding other people's perspectives, and how some people might not be capable of getting there. Like never, even if they try. How come you can cry during The Lion King but can't understand why you're making your girlfriend cry? How come you're kind, but some might see your behaviours as di**head moves?

   -60- Not knowing, wrong measures and complicity

   Hello, beautiful people! Today's episode covers a wide range of topics, but it ultimately focuses on the theme of learning and knowledge. We start by discussing the idea of not knowing and learning how to feel proud about it, inspired by Niko's daughter. We touch on why most people find it hard to admit when they don't understand something and why this can be disrespectful and stop them from learning something new. Once again, the importance of knowledge and understanding comes into play. This concept highlights the risk of placing too much emphasis on measurable data or indicators, which can hinder our ability to comprehend the "what," "why," and "how" of our actions because not all indicators can be fully verified or replicated. We can relate this to our work, decision-making processes, and even our weightloss goals. The last topic we open with a quote from Jerry Colonna: "How am I complicit in creating the conditions I say I don't want?" This question, when applied as a daily habit by a curious person who wants to change something in their life, can yield meaningful results. However, is it as simple as it sounds? Listen for more, let us know what you think and subscribe! As usual, we love you!
