On The Peak of Mount Stupid Podcast

In a time when strong opinions are fashionable and pulling other people's views down seems normal, have you ever spent time considering why you think the way you think? On The Peak Of Mount Stupid is a podcast that introduces you to different ways of thinking and areas of philosophy and psychology that could help you to understand your biases and the lenses through which you view the world, all explained in a light-hearted and simple way. The aim isn’t to tell you what to think, but to explore different principles and ways of thinking. The format of the podcast is simple - each week Sam brings a philosophy or area of critical thinking to the table that Andrew doesn’t know about and explains it to him. They talk about it, try to get to grips with it and then try to apply it to day-to-day life.

'Don't judge a goldfish on its ability to climb a tree' - Types of Intelligence

January 28, 2020 • Sam Hardy and Andrew Stansbury • Season 1 • Episode 3

We've probably all heard the saying 'everyones a genius, but if you judge a goldfish on its ability to climb a tree, that goldfish will spend their life believing that it's an idiot'. But what does that actually mean? Sam and Andrew spend 45 minutes talking about the 7 (arguably 9) different types of intelligences that humans acquire and there is plenty of stuff that both of them didn't know before this episode. They talk about the current education system in the UK and how it is only really set up for certain types of people. They also explore the implications of understanding other peoples strengths and empathising with that when they are different to ours own.

Episodes are released at 7am on Tuesday mornings.
