Packy McCormick has released the second episode of his new podcast Hyperlegible, featuring an interview with Utsav Mamoria.
Mamoria’s Substack essay ‘How to live an intellectually rich life’ combined philosophy, mathematics, biography, personal experience and hand-drawn sketches to illustrate his map for leading an intellectually rich life.
Consistency is the most important element when developing new ideas and writing, according to Mamoria.
Epistemic anxiety should be accepted as part of the growth process, he argues, along with the need to suffer an injury to self-esteem in the learning process.
The podcast is available on YouTube, Spotify and Apple podcasts, and Mamoria recommends the essays discussed to readers.
The show is now sponsored by Readwise, which helps readers get the most out of what they read.
McCormick uses Readwise to save and highlight essays he loves to prep for inclusion in his own writing or conversations for the podcast.
