Episode description

(Correction: I attribute the quote “I think therefore I am” to Sartre instead of Descartes!) We will be taking things off pedestals with this episode: Buddhism, Heaven, Descartes, and even Pain will be examined with irreverence. “Irreverence” is the word of the day. We will discuss how the “voice in your head”/ the “internal monologue” controls our lives and prevents us from exercising the extremely limited free will we actually do have. If existence is pain, and yet we are destined to existent forever, then the reality of eternal suffering must be addressed. Solo.to/joliartist
