We often hear people say, that there is neither "good" or "bad". The rabbit hole is - if we dont know what good looks like, how do we execute on our next move?
We speak of Covid, of vaccines, of Novak, of liberty - all knowing we are just amateurs and not experts in anything....but yes thats what this podcast is about - figuring out the world as a lay person
We ponder on what life could mean - at least in the context of everyday happiness.
We might disagree with someone, but de-platformining is never an option. I learnt this very late in life.
Some random moments of ego awareness. I am sure all of us sense that dissociation at times.
A meditation on why I become contemplative and meditative on birthdays
Was reading Luke Burgis' Wanting and this idea came into the foreground again. Essentially meditative thought is more unconscious based and hence is usually more creative, insightful.
Had an unusual philosophical chat with my daughter. On the things we measure, it usually indicates a strange broken relationship with that aspect of our life.

Based on a chat I had with a friend on a long drive. A long debate on what it means to find meaning in the present.
The buddhist were wise. We are living on projections of the future. Should we? Be rather than become.
A meditation on trauma and how it might affect us. This is not really a full unknown, but to some of us, it is. Like me (Amitabh), I don't know enough. So learning.
A conversation with a dear friend sparked this debate in my head. It's more a meditation than a debate. Do listen. Follow us on twitter @ManWalksRH
We speak about the rabbit hole and mystery surrounding all our eventuality. Death. And we speak about Arun Shourie's book Preparing For Death
Saswat, Deepthi and Amitabh - speaking about meaning and purpose. This chat was bootstrapped by Luke Burgis's book Wanting. By the very nature the chat is a bit digressive and long winded.
This episode is a bit of a ramble. Does not tie in neatly. I try and plug two ideas together, which I think are related, but don't think do a good job.
The bizarre rabbit hole called dreaming. And why we might be dreaming?
The slow allows us to assimilate more, be more mindful. Versus speed just kills the nuance and makes it another activity - replacing "joy" with activity.
Why in this rabid connected world, we might still be lonely souls with no intellectual harmony within our ecosystem?
My meditation (rabbit hole) on why formal education still matters. And why an MBA might no longer matter.
