  • In Praise of The Gods pt2

    After a 2-year hiatus, The Busyminds Podcast returns. And for the first time, a friend joins me on the show to continue where I stopped discussing Simon Sarris' essay.

    We treated the importance of building intuition via stories against the backdrop of the stupor of rationality.

    You may read Simon's entire essay here:

  • In Praise of The Gods pt1

    In the first episode of this podcast in 2023, I discuss one of my favourite essays ever, written by Simon Sarris. However, I only cover one of four parts; the remaining three will be in consequent episodes.

    This episode which is part one covers my commentary and thoughts on The Stupor of Rationality.

    If you wish, you may read the essay with the link below. I have also attached other links below as resources and materials for better understanding. I hope you take your time to read them.

  • The Power of Useless Things
    You don't know how useful some things are unless they are absent. In the same way, curiosity and leisure are looked down on because they can't be pre-rationalised. However, their absence communicates their importance.
