172: Gary Kazazian | Being Interviewed About A Variety Of Topics
things switch around here on episode 172 of the show
Gary(one of the two triple guests) interviews me on this one
he brought forward a variety of questions
questions went over some of the authors I liked, the people I am trying to reach, and the intent behind the content I put out
you can find out some of my reasoning for how I do the show
there was some good variety here, and I like being on the interview end, and would remain there if not more inclined to be on the hosting end
Gary knows audio editing and we did some compression on the episode to adjust audio levels
onward we go~

170: Chapter 1 And Half Of Chapter 2 Of She Has Her Mother’s Laugh By Carl Zimmer
we are in the 170s as episodes go
this one is about the first chapter and a half of Carl Zimmer’s most recent book
it is called She Has Her Mother’s Laugh, and it is about heredity/genes
this section included discussion of many scientists work early on
in the 1400s and 1500s and 1600s, people tried to show off lineage
many kings and prominent families wanted to show their power or clean family lines
inbreeding did not work well to keep family lineage going; forcing something = failure
scientists later in the 1800s and 1900s processed idea of heredity
deVries and Mendel and Darwin are all mentioned here
the book reads very storylike and progresses through time

166: Divergent Niches All Over The Place, But Convergence Remains
welcome to episode 166 of The Armen Show
this one is about the numerous niches that all have deviated into
the world is more spread out long tail than it was 20 years ago
the social media landscape dictates levels of divergence at any time
there is still a larger scale convergence or point of unity I mention here
understand all of us as part of one larger brain

165: Your Message Released Without Fear, Through The Filter Of Attention
do we have a message to put out there?
it has to battle against the attention-grabbing of everyone else
fear has no place in your output
the battle is already tough enough with the competition out there
let others try and limit you, but don’t help by limiting yourself
the value of timeless information you can come back to years later
we most forward on episode 165 of the show

164: Amazon Books And The Way Competition Expresses Itself
visited Amazon Books in the mall where there was once a Border’s
one bookstore replaced by another with a different ethos
competition doesn’t work with you but seeks to replace you
this is only if you don’t match what the world is seeking
always look to the audience for extra information on what is needed
this episode included a higher energy minute

163: Making Things On The Spot, E3 Updates, And Self-Awareness
hey to all the listeners
this one includes some updates from the E3 gaming convention I went to
also I discuss the framework of making things that fits you
you don’t want to try to fit into how someone else does things
the need for attention before a message can be gotten across
why I like Los Angeles not paying much attention to anything anymore
