The Lightning Podcast S1 E9: I Hope to Hope
This week, join Zohar Atkins, Nicolas Sarian, Anne Dudek, Stewart Alsop III, and Cyrus Palizban as we contemplate a quote from Samuel Beckett, “Confusion too is company. Up to a point. Better hope deferred than none.” What are the paradoxes of confusion, hope, and their functions in our lives? Is confusion a companion? When or can it be beneficial? And what of deferred hope? Is it an alternative to hopelessness? Discussing artifact evaluation, guilt, and innocence, historically and biblically, join us as we attempt to answer.
