This is an attempt to normalise discourse on the nature of addiction. Of course this video is rather personal, but I believe there is true strength to be found from authentic vulnerability. I have no shame in disclosing my challenges, flaws and hardships - they are what make me human. I only hope that sharing my experiences can help others and inspire honest conversation on what is typically a tab...

Here's my second podcast discussing Bitcoin. I discuss the history of Fiat currencies since the 1971 'Nixon shock', when the dollar became unpegged to Gold, and how this led to our contemporary monetary system comprised of freely floating fiat currencies. I use the metaphor of 'competing melting ice cubes' to describe the inherently inflationary nature of this monetary arrangme...

This is my first foray into the world of cryptocurrency, economics, and finance—understandably content that diverges from what I have previously discussed on this channel. Rather than delving into the precise technical details of how the Bitcoin monetary network operates, I aim to provide broad brushstrokes of the philosophical and historical context from which Bitcoin emerged. I also discuss the...

a lil riff in the woods about discovering meaningful action, the flow state, playful spontaneity, addiction/attachment, suffering and how one can heal others by first healing themselves.

A lil riff on something that was pestering my pre-conscious Got some convos scheduled soon but I am shy + lazy

Longest podcast yet! Had a delight recording this with Elliot and learned a lot regarding Lovecraft and his philosophical ideas. Hope you enjoy this riff of ideas and stay tuned for more conversations in the future!

Attention mediates much of our orientation to the world, parsing reality into what is salient and relevant, and into what is irrelevant and ignorable. It can also become parasitised by addiction and illusion, experiences whereby our attention enters a maladaptive conformity with reality. Inquiring into attention, which entails a recursive process of mind turning in on mind and representing itself,...

Thoroughly enjoyed this! Covered a lot of utterly fascinating ground relating to mysticism, techniques for accessing mystical states, meditation, metaphysics and much more. The conversation regarding this category of "techniques for accessing mystical states" was framed within an exploration of Kabbalah, Hermeticism and certain types of ritualistic magic. Learned a tremendous amount abou...

Another meditation exploring the idea of the mystery. The limits of our conceptual knowledge, how this limit is immediately obvious and all encompassing - say when one contemplates how they “know” how to do a basic motor act, or a shift of attention. Such actions do not reveal easily articulated explanations, the organism simply knows on a primordial and non-propositional level how to move in such...

Riffing some thoughts on the nature of God, the spectrum of consciousness in nature, mysticism, the limits of language, the problem of evil and much more Will be releasing more podcast discussions with friends and interesting people soon! Plus will be releasing something more formal going into the problem of evil and the work of philosopher and mystic Simone Weil.

Here I confront the question of what the hell is going on? Unsurprisingly I don’t come to a definite answer, rather I dance around the topic in an effort to perhaps elucidate the problem space. Defining the problem space is of course a significant component in eventually answering the question, if language or thought could ever articulate such an answer. #philosophy #spirituality #mindfulness #con...
