EP31 (S1) - Yalla (Enough with the Buts)

This week, as the war rages on, Amy and Dor explore life in abeyance and the interconnectedness of emotions, evolution, and artificial intelligence.

In an episode saturated with sentiment Amy and Dor relate to a string of tangential signifiers from tarot cards to Elon Musk’s fondness for the letter x, the Hebrew word for truth (emet), and even the number 66. Amy recruits artificial intelligence in her continued exploration of what it means to be human, offering a new way forward in a time of suspense.

The message of the Hanged Man card prompts reflections on human nature, adaptability, and surrendering control in wildly uncertain times: from holding on to letting go to release. Amy opens up about missing her parents and shares her personal reflections on feeling sentimental, and contemplates whether these emotions serve a deeper biological function.

We meet Miami Sapan and hear about Amy’s deepening relationship with AI, as she sheds inhibitions and ushers in the transformative power of embracing positive changes and the power of delegating tasks (to AI). Dor champions these changes and expresses nostalgia for the "good old Amy,” proposing a new constraint ahead of the next episode.

Amy, inspired by Dor’s “yalla” approach, candidly reflects on the friction of change, and stagnation, the long-term cost of a commitment to keep things chill at all costs. They touch upon the bittersweet nature of leaving home and the distances we traverse as humans in our journey of growth and self-discovery.

Recorded on December 11 (Day 66).
