Description

The Didactic Mind podcast is BACK with an all-new episode - the first in nearly 6 months - to kick off 2026. This podcast is all about how we avoid the stupidity and nonsense of "New Year's Resolutions", and instead focus on building life-affirming, results-building, course-sustaining habits that get us to our chosen destinations. I lay out a straightforward, logical, sensible set of ideas that will help you achieve your goals for the year - whatever those might be - and provide examples showing how you make these goals a reality.

Protect Yourself From Big Tech

I make some pretty incendiary statements in this podcast, and in most of my podcasts. I can only do so because I take steps to protect myself from the Big Tech companies, and preserve my identity. You need to do the same – this is no longer optional, because if you don’t, the gatekeepers WILL come for your head.

If you don’t know where to start, then I’ve got you covered right here with this post. Here are the specific steps that you can take:

• Make sure that your web traffic is safe and protected from prying eyes using a VPN – click here to get a massive 80% OFF on a 24-month subscription with Surfshark;
• Be sure also to check out Incogni, the new data and privacy management tool offered by Surfshark, which simply works behind the scenes to ensure that no malign actors can take advantage of your data ever again;
• Another solid VPN option for you is Atlas VPN, brought to you by the same company that creates NordVPN;
• The best SSD drive that you can get right now, with blazing fast speeds and near-native storage capabilities, is probably the SanDisk Extreme 1TB Portable SSD with NVMe technology – I bought this myself to keep a moving backup of all of my files, it’s the size of a credit card, and it’s absolutely superb;
