On this episode, we discuss three current events: the homeless population in Austin, Texas and why gentrification deserves careful consideration, the debacle that was the Iowa Caucuses and how tech is affecting our political environment, and tech companies creating predictive A.I. software that is changing the way we tackle complex issues (such as viruses). We then dive into chapters 8-11 in Enlightenment Now by Steven Pinker. We finish the episode with a deep dive on Karma. We discuss ancient philosophies and our modern perception on how our society approaches karma. You know its a good episode when we have to cut 4 hours of audio down to 1 hour.
"Karma (in Pali, kamma) is a very inclusive term, for primarily it means 'action' or ' doing', though in a secondary sense it has come to mean the law of cause and effect -- a sense which has been much overemphasized by Western theosophical interpretations."
- Alan Watts
