In this episode, Alex and Amanda explore our relationship with certainty and how feeling secure in our knowledge can sometimes be painful. Certainty can exclude possibilities from arising.

Can anything in life really be described as: fixed, settled, dependable, reliable, inevitable, detined, indisputable?



“It's what we think we know that keeps us from learning.”

― Claude Bernard

"Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd."Voltaire


Tao Te Ching – Verse 48

In pursuit of knowledge,

every day something is added.
In the practice of the Tao,
every day something is dropped.
Less and less do you need to force things,
until finally you arrive at non-action.
When nothing is done,
nothing is left undone.
