In this episode I talk about how I fell off with meditation for a long time, and how I'm now trying to get back into it. I also talk about the difference between concentration meditation and insight or open-awareness meditation, and some of my experiences living in a Buddhist monastery. And I end by talking about bad logic and epistemology in spirituality and meditative traditions, and the overreaching claims people often make involving solipsism, life after death, and other things. Oh and I also talk about toilets and big shits.

I've gotten too many traffic violations (not wearing a seatbelt, and speeding) so now I'm on the verge of losing my licence. I'm probably going to have to do a 'good behaviour' probationary period of SEVEN THOUSAND YEARS! How am I supposed to get no demerit points for that long?? But there are certain reasons why I didn't wear a seatbelt, and the road rules and police are stupid, so I felt like ranting about that.

I talk about how I can't stop eating junk food, how I hate myself and my life, how I'm scared of AI and the future, and about Ian Garry vs Islam Makhachev, and how cringe and gay Ian Garry is (even though he's a very good fighter).

Science confirms what self-inquiry and non-dual practice imply about reality. But also, many advocates of non-duality make overreaching claims that aren't supported by evidence. I break down what non-dual practice does and doesn't imply about reality. Also I'm gay. Just kidding I'm not gay.

I continue talking about awareness and non-duality and how to be more present to the moment, and some helpful auxiliary practices.
