  • George Berkeley: In Your Mind and Nowhere Else
    It's the anniversary of the birth of the philosopher George Berkeley (1685 – 1753), whose central thesis is that there is no such thing as matter and that all we interact with are 'ideas' in the mind of perceivers.

In this episode, I share some big decisions I’ve had to make since I found out my mother has brain cancer, and how I managed to work my way through each of these to (hopefully) do the right thing.
