Namaste!

First of all, I must apologize for being late. Second, I have finally decided upon a channel name, Amogh Astra Podcast.

In this discussion, I talk to Kushal Mehra, the host of The Carvaka Podcast. We cover issues like why he likes philosophy, what role it plays in everyday lives, why are first principles are so important. We also spoke about why people resist certain ideas that they don't like, which probably stems from a fear of being proven wrong, which in turn, makes them develop an irrational hatred towards the other side. Kushal made a great point about the strange similarity between religious nuts and wokes, in that they both exhibit eerily similar behaviour.

We also discussed politics played by social media platforms and big tech companies and where it will eventually end up. I expressed my fear about this partisanship leading to further political polarization.

Please watch the entire discussion and be sure to share among all you friends. If you liked this discussion and if you would like to watch more such content, please subscribe to my channel.
