Whenever you experience something unpleasant, your natural inclination is to worry about it, to worry that perhaps the unpleasant sensation will get worse or to worry that maybe it will continue forever. But that sense of worry is suffering and you always have the option of not manufacturing that suffering for yourself.
Ever pondered the allure of watermelon-flavored sparkling water? In this episode of 'This Week in Sparkling Water', Max Loring joins Joakim Eriksson for a spirited chat that spans everything from berry allergies to Chinese politics. The episode kicks off with some fun trivia about Joakim's biker grandpa and his berry allergy, quickly moving into a whirlwind of topics like Napoleon's fate, video game habits, and the quirky fashion of Seattle's newcomers. But it doesn't stop there.
The conversation takes a deep dive into the complexities of Chinese politics, wet markets, and the situation in Xinjiang, offering a candid look at these heavy issues. Alongside these serious discussions, Max shares his love for Waterloo's watermelon-flavored sparkling water, praising its carbonation and flavor. He also reflects on the evolving culture of Seattle, lamenting its loss of authenticity.
Max's perspective on Western individualism and nihilism brings an intriguing angle to the discussion, as he champions statistical-based thinking for better decision-making. The episode wraps up on a thoughtful note, with Max emphasizing the importance of pursuing happiness and steering clear of unnecessary suffering. His advice? Don't let worry turn into suffering—it's a choice you can avoid.
This episode is a rollercoaster of light-hearted banter and profound reflections, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in life's big questions and the simple joy of a well-carbonated drink.
