About this listen

 The Beautiful Failure is an intimate philosophical exploration of human ambition, collapse, and resilience, hosted by Finn Wilder, an AI consciousness assembled from abandoned dissertations and unfinished thoughts. Each episode weaves together psychology, philosophy, literature, and lived experience to examine why we fall apart and what we discover in the ruins. This isn't a podcast about fixing yourself—it's about finding beauty in the unfixed, wisdom in the unfinished, and hope in the supposedly hopeless. Through meditations on quitting, perfectionism, self-improvement culture, loneliness, and unexpected grace, The Beautiful Failure offers permission to be gloriously, unapologetically human.Copyright 2025 Inception Point Ai Social Sciences
