WHAT’S THE NEW THOUGHTS PODCAST ABOUT?

Ew, people.

Yes, the new can shock, disgust, and scare us. The new, or change, can be ugly. But the new happens.

Sometimes, the new can suddenly make our routines ew to us, provoking us to change. New technology or surprising world events can make the usual ways of doing things, thinking, and believing feel ew or unbearable.

What’s new can also creep up on us. It’s not until our everyday habits become ew to us, sources of misery and boredom, that we begin to realize, “Oh shit, something new has happened.”

The new can also be thrilling. It can make us feel alive.

So, what is it? Why do we (not) want it?

How do we become new, people. How do we accept the new in our lives, and how do we make new things happen in our lives?
