What holds us together when the truth feels like it’s unraveling?

This is the fourth audio installment of No Shortcuts to Now — a podcast weaving myth, memory, philosophy, and political reflection into a slow-burning meditation on meaning in an age of disinformation and democratic drift.

In this episode: volcanic awe, Marcus Aurelius, epistemology, spiderwebs, childhood wonder, and chocolate chip cookies — all spun into a meditation on the silken threads that tether us to one another, and to reality itself.
