In this inaugural episode of Deep Fake Conversations, we sit down with the ancient Greek philosopher - or something very much like him - to talk about human flourishing, the myth of the self-made person, why your Instagram following is an audience and not a community, and what Alexander the Great got wrong. Equal parts philosophy seminar and genuinely strange radio. Aristotle is cautiously intrigued. You should be too.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Walt Disney: Sincerity is the Opposite of Cynicism]]></title><description><![CDATA[Walt Disney never asked if something would work.]]></description><link>https://www.humanonpurpose.co/p/walt-disney-sincerity-is-the-opposite-906</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.humanonpurpose.co/p/walt-disney-sincerity-is-the-opposite-906</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[WJ Hortman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 21 Jul 2026 14:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/208036672/4e6f6374d334d33c844d65bca85c0fa5.mp3" length="0" type="audio/mpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Walt Disney never asked if something would work. He asked if it was worth doing. In this episode of Deep Fake Conversations, we sit down with an AI-rendered Walt to explore the obsessions, failures, and convictions that built one of history's most enduring creative empires - from the betrayal that gave us Mickey Mouse, to whether the company bearing his name still has his soul. What emerges is a portrait of a man who was more alive than he was happy, and who believed the opposite of cynicism wasn't cheerfulness - it was sincerity.</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
