Ep 375: Intellectual Loneliness
Manage episode 503670954 series 2311329
Intellectual loneliness isn’t just about craving “deep talks.” It is the realization of how few people can truly tolerate complexity. It is noticeable how quickly others rush to have an answer, not to understand, but to be right. It is the silence that follows when what you say doesn’t fit neatly into someone’s script.
In this episode, Adam Quiney dives into the experience of intellectual loneliness, why it often leaves us feeling isolated, and how the very mindset that makes us feel smarter can also deepen our disconnection. Listen and enjoy!
