This week, things get steamy between Azul and Lady Philosophy. Oh and we also continue with our old friend Boëthius in tackling one of the biggest questions: If there is a good God, how can there be so much suffering and evil in the world?

Alex is off sick so this week we have a special episode with yours truly, Azul! Join me in a journey of discovery through the genesis of Schadenfreude and how it relates to who we are inside... *spooky sounds* It's a short episode, but hopefully as fulfilling as our usual episodes! :)

In this special episode we launch our interview series by talking with Stephen Archer, a Mindfulness Educator with over 40 years of experience.
We get into the neuroscience behind mindfulness, misconceptions about mindfulness, starting a practice in daily life and we also talk about how chasing after happiness could be chasing after the wrong thing!
About Stephen:
www.mwfo.co.nz
Stephen Archer is Managing Director and lead trainer and supervisor for Mindfulness Works For Organisations. Stephen has been involved with mindfulness for 40 years and began practicing while he was finishing a degree in Eastern studies in the UK. At the age of 23 Stephen was formally trained in mindfulness as an ordained Buddhist monk in the Thai forest tradition. His training included working closely with different teachers and completing lengthy retreats to strengthen his practice. Thirteen years later he emerged from the monkhood with the intention to offer his skills and learnings to the public. During the last 25 years Stephen has run workplace mindfulness trainings for organisations including Westpac, Kiwibank, Air New Zealand and NZ Police, delivered courses in healthcare and prisons, and assisted the Mental Health Foundation of NZ to develop their approach to mindfulness. He has worked at the Leadership Development Centre in Wellington running year-long mindful leadership programmes, and is also a trustee of Te Moata, a retreat centre and nature sanctuary in the Coromandel.

We are back with a bang folks! In this week's episode, for the first time in Confuddled's history, Azul just goes on several rants as he attempts to form a cohesive idea and a half. Jumping from Escapism, Capitalism, Fantasy, Literature, Post-modernism, and a dollop of anecdotes, this week's episode covers something that is dear to us all; something that we all face on a day-to-day basis; something that we all need, but may not necessarily want. Tune in to our first episode of 2021!

This week Alex and Azul explore Boëthius' ideas on the Unity, what it is, how it relates to us and how it relates to the Ultimate Goodness. And before you ask, yes, Azul is still fawning over Philosophy, though his jealousy towards Boëthius reaches a new height in this episode!

This week we broach the topic of Escapism in the 21st Century. What does it mean? Where do we find it? How does it relate to Fantasy and Tolkien, and most importantly, how passionate will Alex get? ;)
Disclaimer: Azul mentions Michael Moorcock and how he has never heard of him before, but on second thought he realised that Moorcock is an author Azul has most certainly read and considers quite good! Moorcock is also a widely read and respected author. Azul is quite embarrassed by this so he didn't even bother to record a voice disclaimer and is instead choosing to refer to himself in third person in the hopes of hiding his shame. He implores you to forgive him...
