This is a space where I aim to engage people on deeper conversation topics spanning between spirituality and philosophy - examining what it means to be a living, conscious being at all, and what the implications of that meaning are for how we conduct our lives. My hope is to cultivate a deep sense of curiosity and wonder while rejecting intellectual laziness. When we ask the right questions, there is magic to be found in the world exactly as it is that needs no supernatural embellishment.

#05: Rabbit Holes with Rebecca

In this episode, Rebecca Radziejeski joins me in an unscripted conversation for a dive into the philosophical and existential rabbit holes of wonderland. I hope you will enjoy the topics as much as we do. We hit on ideas ranging from the issues with transliterating vocabulary, descriptive vs prescriptive rules, generational divides, the "lone wolf" and "self made man" myths, the ethics of frugality, the absence of American repair culture, and more.
