On this podcast there aren’t necessarily debates, more often they are off the cuff conversations. You, the listeners, set the questions that your, co-hosts don’t see until they start recording. This episode is not an exception to that as there’s talk about Stuart’s recent appearance on the ProGRESS Podcast, and a thought-provoking reflection questioning whether humanity’s progress is driven by rare geniuses, while the rest of us cling to their achievements and grapple with uncomfortable truths about our nature, and opinions.The first of the two listener questions comes from Lucas in Punta Arenas, Chile - “Stuart heard your interview on The ProGRESS Podcast. Where does your drive to be genuine and honest in business come from, do you think? Where do you think your internal drive comes from that you spoke about separately at the end?”From this question, Stuart talks about how his drive to be genuine and honest in business comes from the same place as where the drive to be genuine and honest in personal life. He grew up in a family full of bullshit, distortion, lies, suppression, oppression and belittlement. He doesn't want to be like them.He goes onto spin the question to an environmental slant:  what drives you to care about the environment? And maybe put yourself in the shoes of somebody who is having a negative impact on the environment, and what drives them to do that and to maybe not even care.If you would like to listen to the episodes, here are the links:Part 1Part 2The second question today comes from Bronwen in Atlanta, Georgia, USA - “Are humans really that advanced, or do we rely on the occasional genius to make our species jump, leaving the rest of us merely hanging on to their coattails, and just narcissistic apes? I know some people will deny that we are apes, and they are entitled to their opinion, as am I. It doesn't mean their or my opinion overthrows a point of fact, it's still just their opinion. Are we really advanced if we fool ourselves into thinking we are offended by someone's opinions that differ from ours, when they are really offended by points of fact?”Off the back of Bronwen’s question, William feels that we have more geniuses around us, he cites the progress humans have made over the past 200 years.  There's always people out there with interesting minds, and they come up with really interesting ideas.Stuart asks the question: are our evolutionary jumps driven by these geniuses?  When those geniuses make their discoveries, a large volume of the rest of us then jump on that bandwagon. Is that mass movement what makes us have an evolutionary jump, not the genius’s actions?Stuart picks up that there are two sides to Bronwen’s question, and the core to the second part is that opinion is not fact.  There are facts out there that as far as we understand them to be facts, and people can be offended by someone's unfounded opinion or founded facts, but it's just how you deal with that offense.  You're offended. Deal with it. Process it. Feedback on it, try and improve the situation. Just because you are offended, doesn't mean someone is always being offensive.What do you make of this discussion?
