)Episode 4 is a little off protocol. It starts straight with the audio submission from @phoenix1914 regarding the Meta Layers Episode #3. Audio is a little rocky for the first 11mins from Jeppy's side and then gets better after we switched to Skype. We're working on finding a clearer audio input on Jeppy's side including getting him his own binaural mic set.
~Current Conversation:
This episode is our bumpy first bike ride on podcasting after a long hiatus where we respond to @Phoenix1914's audio submission and delve more into what the future culture of transparency means for the quality of our connections. Should we get used to having no privacy? In a world where you can be tracked from anywhere in both your RL and digital traces, who are we kidding?

Listening to this episode I was thinking/wondering how much of someone's disinclination to be involved with another is based on perceived effort.
You talked a lot about check-boxes and thresholds, and finding one thing that is a deal breaker. Jeppy was saying that he had a lot of openness because he is interested in people and their diversity. Maybe in his case (or someone like him), he sees a payoff for the effort he may perceive that he will have to put into that relationship.
I wonder if some people, though, avoid others (one of those people who have checked that box they don't like) because they think, 'Oh this will be too hard.' That the objection is not necessarily the subject matter of the box, but rather the effort they may have to put in with dealing with that person.
We're in a time of so many choices, that we pick the ones that we like the most, but also the ones that will cost us the least effort. I am thinking that is extending to relationships to a greater and greater degree.
