Get out there today. Anywhere you can. Add your body to the millions who truly care about a country rule by laws, not the whims of a con man. It's our best weapon, and it makes you feel good to be with people who care about democracy like you do.

I started a substack about my podcast "Don't Be Alone with Jay Kogen" which is about social media ruining life and pimping it here on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, & Bluesky. I'm starting to think I could be part of the problem. Join me won't you? open.substack.com/pub/jaykogen...

Me too but still when my cable goes out I get a little crazed. Weird

Jay Kogen @jaykogen.bsky.social · 02/08/2025

So, is it okay to be that needy? If not, how can we toughen up live with the discomfort of work and life? Let's talk about that, or anything else you want to talk about on today's #PhilosophyPhriday. Ready? Steady... Go!

Jay Kogen @jaykogen.bsky.social · 02/08/2025

Hey kids! Welcome to Jay Kogen's #PhilosophyPhriday!! We live in a world where we minimize discomfort. We can't stand being hungry or bored or waiting or sick or dealing with a crying baby or the electricity is out. & life's easier than any other time in human existence.

Jay Kogen @jaykogen.bsky.social · 28/07/2025

Listen to Will Forte on the " Don't Be Alone with Jay Kogen" podcast. You'll fall in love with him.

Are we experiencing free will or just playing out a scenario the universe has designed for us? If it's the latter, does it free us from worry? Shouldn't you just enjoy the ride? Or does it make you feel like you no longer really exist?

Jay Kogen @jaykogen.bsky.social · 05/07/2025

Hey kids! Welcome to the 4th of July edition of Jay Kogen's #PhilosophyPhriday!! Today: if quantum physics is right & every possible version of us that could exist does exist, what do we make of our lives?

Jay Kogen @jaykogen.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

It's a really good show. I loved working there.

Who's joining me for a great night of music seeing Charlie Kogen & his band sing new songsat at THE TRiP, a good ol' neighborhood bar in Santa Monica on 7/10? Let me know!

Jay Kogen @jaykogen.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

I think there's always time. You could do it with a friend or a stranger. But there are ways and places to have those conversations.

110

Jay Kogen @jaykogen.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

I don't think we'll ever get that choice to me make the country settle down. Unfortunately, where in a weird time where it requires our effort & strength to fight for democracy and justice. I never thought we'd have to be like this. But we do.

Jay Kogen @jaykogen.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

Well being able to take care of another being is a fair consideration. I hope you can find a way to love a cat. Seems worthy.

110

Jay Kogen @jaykogen.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

One of those things seems easy to achieve. But getting the cat will be hard.

Jay Kogen @jaykogen.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

OR You do you think we don't need more experience than just "existing"? Let's talk about that, or anything else you want to talk about on today's #PhilosophyPhriday. Ready? Steady... Go!

Jay Kogen @jaykogen.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

Become someone who listens? Become more expert in a subject? Teach? Dance? Climb a mountain? Invent something? Create art that matters? Enjoy a nice bottle of lemonade? See the perfect sunset? What're your top experiences you'd like to have before you throw off this mortal coil?

Jay Kogen @jaykogen.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

Hey kids! Welcome to Jay Kogen's #PhilosophyPhriday!! What experience do you want to have? Lots of people want things but I think experience is better than things. Do you want to travel? Master a skill? Win a fight? Have someone stare into your eyes & say they love you?

Well, i've been doing this for about 280 weeks, so they're not all Kierkegaard and Chomsky.

Haven't been to the Cannes Film Festival in many years, but, these days, it sounds like it's just one long standing ovation.

Not saying it's going to bring outer peace but it might help inner peace

110

Jay Kogen @jaykogen.bsky.social · 17/05/2025

Can wishing others safety & peace make us feel good? I tried it and it worked for me. Thinking about safety & peace brings peace. What brings you peace? Let's talk about that, or anything else you want to talk about on today's #PhilosophyPhriday. Ready? Steady... Go!

Jay Kogen @jaykogen.bsky.social · 17/05/2025

Hey kids! It's time forJay Kogen's #PhilosophyPhriday! Today: I read that you can find inner peace by wishing other people peace. You think of a friend and say "I wish him/her safety & peace." Then think of an acquaintance and do the same. Then a stranger. Then an enemy.

You wanna be the new Pope? They say a Hail Mary. You make'em transubstantiate with Eucharist. They light a candle. You make'em do the Stations of the Cross. THAT'S the Chicago way.

Jay Kogen @jaykogen.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

To others it means I'm greedy! What do you associate being heavy with? What do you think people presume about you based on your physical presentation? Let's talk about that, or anything else you want to talk about on today's #PhilosophyPhriday late edition. Ready? Steady... Go!

Jay Kogen @jaykogen.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

Hey kids! It's time forJay Kogen's #PhilosophyPhriday! Today: most of us judge each other, even when we don't want to, by how we look. How we present ourselves tells a story. What does your story say about you & is it true? I'm overweight.To some that means i'm lazy. To others it means I'm weak.
