1 hr 46 min - #73: Aliens, Eric Weinstein, San Holo, roots, water, and the Tao with Daniel TorresWe both listened to the the Joe Rogan podcast episode #1945 with Eric Weinstein who had an amazing idea that went something like this:So, there's an uncontacted tribe off the coast of India that have no idea what civilization is, have no knowledge of technology (except the boats and planes they see), and don't even know there is such a thing called "India" that owns them. So, what if we're an uncontacted planet? What if an alien civilization owns us and they simply don't let other alien civilizations contact us, including themselves.We also discussed the artist San Holo, and talked about water and roots in context of the Tao Te Ching. Peace out. Not sponsored by Elysian brewing, but I want to be.Outro provided by Brock Tanya1 hr 8 min

- #72: Existential Weight: On Kundera's "The Unbearable Lightness of Being"
