Description

Stop To Think is about stopping to think.

Most people hate thinking and they go to a lot of trouble to avoid it. Incidentally, a lot of problems in life are caused by not taking time to think before taking action. Chaos is the consequence of this combination.

In Stop To Think we'll think through various topics in real time and see where that takes us.

Episode Description:In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we discuss echoes of the Garden. By this, I mean things in life that seem too perfect for the fallen and broken state of the world we see around us. Examples include music, art, love, and other stuff like that.

Episode Description:In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we discuss how the legal system is really stupid. Lawyers don't really add value to society in the same sense that people who actually produce value do. The legal system, in general, has incentive structures that result in corruption and rampant problems.

Episode Description:In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we discuss how time decays through life. A second in your teens is a much bigger deal to you than a second in your 40s. There is a tension between pushing to make your time as memorable as possible and making time pass fast to get the resources required to live life.

Episode Description:In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we discuss how magical human life is. The very idea that new humans can be generated and that these humans have souls and personalities and everything is kind of wild to think about.Social Media: ⁠⁠https://twitter.com/ccrworkscom⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/chandlerriviniusauthor/⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555610575068Websites:⁠⁠https://ccrworks.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠https://assortedwebapps.com/⁠⁠
Episode Description:In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we discuss your net economic impact. It seems like it would be possible to boil just about everything down to dollars. When you actually do this exercise, you can extract some interesting insights. You want to be a person who is generating a positive net economic impact.

Episode Description:In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we discuss the people on the internet who are full of BS. You see them on X and YouTube a lot. They'll push a certain agenda with their content, but then when you look into them, you find out that they don't actually walk the walk. Especially annoying are the people who fish for engagement.Social Media: ⁠⁠https://twitter.com/ccrworkscom⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/chandlerriviniusauthor/⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555610575068Websites:⁠⁠https://ccrworks.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠https://assortedwebapps.com/⁠⁠
Episode Description:In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we discuss giving money to church. Many churches are still stuck in the 20th century when it comes to offerings, and it's somewhat annoying.

Episode Description:In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we discuss the conjunction of meaning. It's interesting how the same underlying meaning can be conveyed in multiple different languages. Although I don't delve into it in the episode, the topic is essentially Plato's Forms.

Episode Description:In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we discuss how to create prosperity. It's actually not very difficult, but it would require a lot of parasites in society to die off. If you want prosperity, increase efficiency, reduce waste, establish the proper incentives, and maintain a stable money supply. That's really all there is to it. Honestly, if you fix the money issue, everything else usually fixes itself.Social Media: ⁠⁠https://twitter.com/ccrworkscom⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/chandlerriviniusauthor/⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555610575068Websites:⁠⁠https://ccrworks.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠https://assortedwebapps.com/⁠⁠
Episode Description:In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we discuss how price controls have worked out throughout history. Spoiler alert... It has never gone well.

Episode Description:In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we discuss some great women in history. Occasionally, I get some feedback that I come across as a bit anti-women. This isn't the case, as I simply hold a Christian view of women. So for this episode, we'll talk about some women in history who have demonstrated exceptional character and self-sacrifice.

Episode Description:In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we discuss the hidden meaning in literature. People, especially high school English curriculum writers, have a tendency to extract meaning from places where it was never intended to be found. As an author, I've encountered cases where people have found meaning in what I've written that wasn't even close to what I intended. Finding meaning that's not there isn't good.

Episode Description:In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we discuss the Cult of Safety. You all know who I'm talking about. These are the people who would wield power and authority to make things "safer" for everyone, but usually, they just make everyone miserable by creating a bunch of semi-useless rules that often do more harm than what they're intended to actually prevent.Social Media: ⁠⁠https://twitter.com/ccrworkscom⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/chandlerriviniusauthor/⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555610575068Websites:⁠⁠https://ccrworks.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠https://assortedwebapps.com/⁠⁠
Episode Description:In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we discuss immortality. Specifically, how our society would change if everyone were immortal. Under the current regime, death shortens the time horizon of individuals, which has a very pungent impact on behavior.Social Media: ⁠⁠https://twitter.com/ccrworkscom⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/chandlerriviniusauthor/⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555610575068Websites:⁠⁠https://ccrworks.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠https://assortedwebapps.com/⁠⁠
Episode Description:In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we discuss working toward a specific end. When you're in the workforce, it seems like there is a never-ending hamster wheel of work in front of you. When you're in school or when you're working toward a specific goal, then things don't feel like such an insurmountable task. From a company standpoint, the best way to fix this problem for your employees is to make sure to give them good rewards when they complete specific goals. This helps break up the hamster wheel feeling and gives them some payoff.

Episode Description:In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we discuss inheritance. When someone dies, there's always the matter of dealing with their stuff, which usually turns into a messy process. Splitting inheritance can actually ruin what is being passed on. Get a will and get Jesus. That's the best way to handle this.Social Media: ⁠⁠https://twitter.com/ccrworkscom⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/chandlerriviniusauthor/⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555610575068Websites:⁠⁠https://ccrworks.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠https://assortedwebapps.com/⁠⁠
Episode Description:In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we discuss updates on what I've been working on behind the scenes. At a high level, since the season three update, I've been mostly focused on audiobook production, some app development, and the usual writing tasks. Cheers to another season of the Stop To Think Podcast.Social Media: ⁠⁠https://twitter.com/ccrworkscom⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/chandlerriviniusauthor/⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555610575068Websites:⁠⁠https://ccrworks.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠https://assortedwebapps.com/⁠⁠
Episode Description:In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we wrap up season three with a discussion about conflicts between your wife and your parents. As I've said many many many times before, you always want to be on the side of truth and the side of reality. Likewise, in a conflict between your parents and your wife, siding with the party that is incorrect just because of some misguided sense of loyalty is not a good idea. It will have major consequences down the road.Social Media: ⁠⁠https://twitter.com/ccrworkscom⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/chandlerriviniusauthor/⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555610575068Websites:⁠⁠https://ccrworks.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠https://assortedwebapps.com/⁠⁠
