Best Podcast: Clearer Thinking

I actually can’t believe I haven’t recommended Clearer Thinking yet in previous years, given that it’s been consistently one of my most listened-to podcasts for several years now. The topics discussed range from psychology and economics to politics, climate change, AI, philosophy and many more topics. Apart from the excellent guests they manage to find on a weekly basis, the main highlight of the podcast is the host Spencer Greenberg, who always manages to ask unexpected and challenging questions yet always does so with openness and compassion.

It’s pretty hard to pick a single episode, so I will cheat a bit and recommend a collection of connected conversations about different personality disorders:

• A conversation with a sociopath
• A conversation with a narcissist
• A conversation about borderline disorder
• A conversation with a rigid perfectionist who has OCPD
• A conversation with an autistic person
• A conversation with a person with OCD

Each of these conversations gave me a new understanding and appreciation for the difficulties that people with these disorders live with, all from their own perspective (which is sadly all too rare). I strongly believe that by listening better to each other and showing curiosity rather than judgement, we can prevent a whole lot of damage and suffering, and I cannot think of better examples of that than these episodes.

Previous winners: 80,000 Hours with interview with Audrey Tang (2022), The Way Out Is In with Space, Time, and the Ultimate Dimension (2023), and Dice Exploder with Rule Zero with Ema Acosta (2024).

One drawback of having #OCPD and #BPD is that I tend to disengage quite abruptly. It takes VERY little for me tae be convinced that I am irrelevant... Because the monsters what own me scream intae my ears that I am. #MajorDepressiveDisorderRecurrant #Dysthymia #suicidalideations

I take Wellbutrin, Seroquel, and cannabis. #mentalhealth #majordepressivedisorder #adhd #ocpd #bpd #legalizeweed

Nice to be thanked by some co-workers for my efforts to have the X logo removed from our company website, so that it wasn't still there when Elon finally and inevitably went full sieg heil.

It often feels lonely when you are the only one screaming about how folks should do the "right thing" so that they don't support #fascism and such.

#OCPD

Yes, I have collapsed twice with the stress… It’s been a bastard week.

Glad my therapist figured out that I probably have #OCPD, which explains why it causes me physical distress when people write their #git commit messages in the wrong format.

I completely stalled on this cabinet project almost a year ago, after I made too many mistakes cutting the doors and realized that if I made one more mistake I would not have enough wood to finish and no way to get more that would match exactly.

However, after months and months of fighting to overcome my #adhd and #ocpd, I've finally made the last six cuts, seemingly without error!

You know you have #OCPD when you add or delete an app on your iPhone and all of the icons rearrange. #FML #MentalHealth

[Clackamas] county, which shares a border with the City of Portland, Oregon, had been a flash point of far-right activity as less urban communities were tested for their tolerance of far right extremists such as the Proud Boys–who were central participants in the January 6, 2021 attacks on both the US and Oregon Capitols that day. On June 18th, five months after January 6th, [Proud Boy and Vice Chair…] the Vice Chair of the Clackamas Republican party, Daniel Tooze, who was present in the park that day, told park staff that he and the Proud Boys were going to attack any counter-protestors that showed up.

I knew something was up. My latest essay discusses obsessive–compulsive personality disorder.

The #VA was a no-show for my Video Connect appointment this morning which was a #PrEP consult and now I am having a anxiety attack..yay #OCPD.

#OCPD and #BPD are a combination I donnae recommend. #MentalHealth

I wan tae send oot a heartfelt thank ye tae all of those what ghost me and set further in stone my feelings of worthlessness. As a sufferer of #OCPD I DO love being right. #BPD

Ken fit is a wee fucking blast? Haeing both #OCPD AND #BPD. This means I ahmno worthy of yer attention or love, and even if I was, ye'd drive meh fair batshit. #MentalHealth #PersonalityDisorders #IAmVeryBroken #AvoidAtAllCost

So, two more mental health diagnosis...oi. #OCPD and #BPD. Add tae those #MDD (recurrent), #Dysthymia, and #PTSD. Then add Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, and Suicidal Ideation! #IAmVeryBroken #MentalHealth #Depression. #Suicide

Ach, I think mah #Psychiatrist is a wee daftie. #OCPD #MajorDepressiveDisorder #Dysthymia

I think I finally got it thru mah #Psychiatrist heid that my #SuicidalIDeations and extreme #SelfHatred innae gaen anywhere, hence untreatable. I want tae attempt tae enjoy life whatever that means, but I will always want suicide as an option. I think she finally gets it. #MajorDepressiveDisorderRecurrent, #Dysthymia #OCPD #PTSD #Neurodivergent #IAmVeryBroken #YouShouldReallyRun

I want a partner. I want tae #date. I suffer frae #SelfHatred so even if there WAS an attraction, I would sabotage it. My monsters do this tae protect the other person. This is the joys of #MDD and #Dysthemia with a lovely dose of crippling #OCPD. #IAmVeryBroken. The saving grace is that with my lack of desirability, none of the above is likely tae happen lol. #Depression #MentalHealth
