#131 - Fuzzy Thinking: Escaping the Binary of Determinate

Fuzzy logic is an approach to computing based on "degrees of truth" rather than the usual "true or false" (1 or 0) Boolean logic on which the modern computer is based.  It is a form of many-valued logic in which the truth values of variables may be any real number between 0 and 1 both inclusive.

It is said that words alone make up about 7% of our communication and the other 93% is made up of our tonality and especially body language.

#126 - Solo: A Revised Look at Working Hard & Working Smart

Working hard has been known as the main pillar of success but is working hard truly all you need to be successful? A quick glance at professions that demand intense effort and long hours such as construction workers and busboys shows that there is no direct relationship between hard work and success. In other words almost all successful people are hardworking but not all hardworking individuals are successful. 
 
In this solo edition of Beyond the Present podcast Daniel will shed light on the other equally as important pillar of smart work that allows you to do better things, do them in a better way, and do them with better people! If you want to work both hard and smart in whatever you do to obtain the best results and improve them over time then this program is for you!

Your conscious mind is capable of processing no more than seven bits of information at a time but your subconscious mind knows no such boundaries  as it is receiving input 24/7 from all of your senses and as thus is influencing you in the process.

#124 - You are what you listen to

Having control over our sensory input insures choice over the outcomes that we achieve in life and while many of us are quite picky about what we eat or even see, a great deal of us are thoughtless about what we listen to! In this episode of Beyond the Present Podcast Dan and Poujix discuss the importance of being more selective about what we listen to from sound and music to podcasts and audiobooks. 
You are what you listen to thus if you want to change the quality of your life you need to change the quality of your auditory input and this short program will remind you to do just that.

#123 - Solo: The Art of Dreaming Big

One of the best lessons that I learned from Tony Robbins is that the people who lack motivation don’t really lack motivation at all, rather they simply lack goals that are motivational enough! The first biggest mistake in goal setting is failing to set them in the first place and the second biggest mistake is setting goals that are too small and thus demotivating! 
 
In this short talk Daniel introduces the concept of blue sky thinking and the importance of dreaming with no limits and then balancing it out with realistic and rational planning and execution. The truth of the matter is that your potential can only be revealed to you if you set goals that seem beyond your current ability so that they force you to grow and in this program you will learn how to do just that!

The word diplomacy brings into mind images of politicians discussing comprehensive deals among nations but the truth of the matter is that diplomacy is not something that happens only in politics, rather, it is an essential component of every human relationship that includes peace, cooperation, mutual respect, and understanding among in a group of individuals as small as a newly wed couple and as large the United Nations with all its member countries.In this episode of Beyond the Present podcast Dan and Poujix discuss the issue of diplomacy as it applies to our personal and professional lives and offer ways to avoid diplomacy being replaced by fights and arguments.

#121 - Solo: The Crisis of Masculinity

 As we celebrated Father’s Day the issue of masculinity has been brought back to spotlight. If you are a man then answer these questions: 
 
1-Are you in a relationship with a woman who is in control of the relationship? 
2- Do you feel like other people don’t understand you or don’t appreciate you? 
3- Do you prefer yoga and massage over weightlifting and aerobic?
4- Do you lack self confidence, dominance, and assertiveness? 
5- Do you feel like you lack goal orientation, focus, and persistence? 
6- Have you experienced serious depression caused by an emotionally triggering event that lasted for a very long time and didn’t go away naturally or with the help of mental health professionals? 
7- Do you prefer crying about a problem instead of channeling your aggression to solve the problem? 
 
If you answered yes to any of these questions then the chances are you are involved with masculinity crisis that has alas gone rampant in the modern world. Young men in these days spend most of their primitive years until the age of 12 with their mothers and their female teachers at elementary schools as often their fathers are out working and later in life they also spend most of their time at home with their girlfriends or wives and at some point they look back at their lives and wonder why they lack masculinity! In this solo edition of Beyond the Present podcast Daniel explains the reason behind the spread of masculinity crisis among men and offers the guidelines on how any man can deal with this crisis and reclaim his manhood.

#120 - Let's Talk: The Precautionary Principle

One of the common divisions in our modern global societies is whether a community is resistant towards change and innovation or accepting of it. What do genetically modified food, children adopted by LGBT families, and abandoning coal mining for renewable energy have in common? They are all progressive plans that require a society that is open to new things; however, is accepting all things new necessarily the key to progress and life satisfaction? In this episode of Beyond the Present podcast Dan and Poujix discuss this issue in depth and explain why the optimum approach is the moderate one that is open to new things but is still rooted in the tried and true methods of the recent past.
