Boredom, Simplicity & Robin Williams | Seneca, Nietzsche & The Cartoons That Hit Hard

What if the most productive thing you could do today is absolutely nothing?

Four conversations about boredom, simplicity, Robin Williams, and the cartoons that said everything we couldn't. A Sunday morning for slowing down.

This is Perfect Days — a weekly morning podcast built around ideas worth carrying with you.

Today: the radical philosophy of boredom — and why Seneca, Descartes, and Lao Tzu all agreed that the empty space is where everything real begins; Nietzsche's brutal case for a simpler life and the crying baby who is still living inside all of us; Robin Williams on the fragile, precious meaning of a life — his quiet warning to look around before it is too late; and the cartoons that hit like a physical blow, because they said the truest things about loneliness, loops, and the courage it takes to leap.
