  • IS Geopolitics: Africa Update w/ Brad Pearce

    Brad Pearce joins me on IS Geopolitics. We discuss The United States Military being forced out of Niger and most of the Sahel and the crucial $100 million dollar military drone base being taken by Russian forces. This follows last year's American funded coup. 

    This area of the world is key for American foreign policy and is one of many areas in the Sahel and broader Africa that has seen recent turmoil.

Significance of breaking free from mainstream narratives, the role of social media in supporting personal awakenings, and the journey towards spiritual and intellectual enlightenment.

  • 055 - Why an Italian Zoomer Converted to Buddhism

    Why an Italian Zoomer Converted to Buddhism


    This is the Illegitimate Scholar Podcast and this week I interview Theravada Buddhism practitioner, Angelo. Originating from Italy, Angelo narrates his transition from Catholicism to embracing Theravada Buddhism, discussing its practices, impact on morality, and viewpoints on gender roles, compared to Nichiren Buddhism and Westernized versions of the faith. The conversation extends to Angelo's critical view on abortion, political, and social concerns through a Buddhist lens. I address Buddhism's nuanced relationship with modern ideologies, debating its non-alignment with fixed political beliefs and detailing its influence on topics like immigration in Italy. It contrasts the allure of Buddhism in the West, its empirical approach through karma, and the vibrant Buddhist community across Italy, enriched by diverse practices and historical ties, including those to Julius Evola. The dialogue concludes by underscoring the importance of exploration and learning in understanding Buddhism's role in contemporary society and personal growth.
