"We’ve left serious thinking to the side in favour of intentionally esoteric bewilderment to get tenure. We’re just playing games with words at this point."
*NOTE*: This is a two part podcast. 0-45mins - Philosophy Segment; 45mins-Finish - Jiu Jitsu Segment
Today Robert discusses the themes of philosophy closest to his heart, being that of Ludwig Wittgenstein. Specifically, the idea of Wittgenstein's ladder, and how nonsense pursuits can often be a crucial part of future goals. Also, the guys discuss the themes of language and culture, and how we have a strange relationship with language, in which we are controlled by it, while also, having control over it.  
And finally, lays out his approach to Jiu Jitsu. Specifically, how to solve puzzles and have systematic approaches to solving these puzzles, something that covers all varieties of challenges. My guest also discusses some of this his systematic ideas and how you can use them too.
