About this listen

Here’s a scary fact about adulthood. We stop asking questions. We lose the playful curiosity and creativity that we had as children. And it’s a shame. Questions are gateways to our deepest desires, insecurities and dreams. Reflecting on a deep question takes us one step closer to a life well-lived. Each week, we’ll ponder and debate one of life’s thorniest questions. We’ll explore ambition, careers, money, relationships, productivity and psychology — all in the pursuit of living an Examined Life.Khe Hy Self-Help Success

  • Will AI Ruin Us? [Khe Hy]
    May 29 2025

    I asked AI to roast me. It wasn’t pretty. Then it said, “Do you want me to be meaner?” The exchange was testy and agitating. It then asked, if I want it to go “nuclear.” Is this an AI slippery slope? Who owns our memories? Is creativity at risk? And should we let our kids interact with ChatGPT? [Episode 104]
