About This Podcast

Embrace humility by seeing the paradoxes inherent to human nature. Overcome nihilism and doomerism with an understanding of philosophical idealism. This framing requires fewer assumptions than standard physicalism/materialism, and provides more intuitive insight into some of life's greatest mysteries. Why is humility so important? Why is utopianism so dubious? Let's explore the limits of consciousness and learn to take back sovereignty of our story and our soul.
