The Lightning Podcast S1 E16: Knowledge or Action, Super Ego or Id
“Right action is better than knowledge; but in order to do what is right, we must know what is right.” This week, Cyrus Palizban, Zohar Atkins, and Nicolas Sarian use King Charlemagne’s quote as a starting point into a discussion about thought vs action. What is the relationship between the two? Drawing from diverse references - Jewish tradition, Buddhist thought, psychoanalysis, sociology, and investment strategies - the conversation takes a turn into an engrossing discussion about the various parts of the self as understood by Freud, Nietzsche, and Jung. Enjoy!
