- To make the most of your talent, you often need to be in the right place with the right people.
Welcome to Episode 8 of Everything is Everything, a weekly podcast hosted by Amit Varma and Ajay Shah.
In this episode, Amit talks about what the Challenger explosion of 1986 teaches us about Bollywood and Silicon Valley. Ajay talks about how a government is exile cannot learn to act like a state by mere play-acting. And there is Orwell, Gandhi and why development economists get so much wrong.

The level to which this channel is under rated is mind numbing
And now that 1984 is approaching. Period.
There is a lot to be said about the congregation of specialists topic. God! What a gift this series is. Thank you so much!
Petition to make this show longer please
My favorite show on YT!!
+1 😊
Fu yeah
Without appearing to be in disagreement, Mr. Ajay gently pushed back the idea that talent always needs talent clusters to blossom. There are always outliers who have created waves by being away, by force of circumstance of course, from the congregation of talent. Newton, as explained in an earlier episode, is a great example. He made path-breaking discoveries while he was alone in his grandmother's place away from great learning centers. Amit's point is correct in the sense that considering the complexity of the evolving sciences, talent clusters can act as catalysts for interdisciplinary breakthroughs. The ambiance that a group of bright people creates can surely be inspiring and can affect the outcomes disproportionately.
Great discussion as always. Thanks.
The best Indian podcast
So many brilliant insights. I totally agree with the two way street between thinking and writing. I personally find that my thinking is a lot clearer and my speech a lot more articulate when I've regularly written in my journal at least for a couple of weeks
Wow.. If question is mind blowing.. answer is paradigm shifting
Enlightening as always. One of the essential channel come out in recent times. Everything we want to listen and more
Thank you for what you do.
Great episode guys! Fwiw QWERTY was designed specifically to slow down typing to prevent typewriters jamming when fast fingers would fly!
