Episode description

Continuing on Why Buddhism Is True. We discuss the "no self" doctrine as articulated in Buddha's Second Discourse and the modularity-of-mind theory that Bob claims supports it.

What are the ethical implications, and do we really need meditation to achieve its alleged ethical benefits?

Continued from part 1, or get the ad-free Citizen Edition. Please support PEL!

End song: "Alphalpha Bhang" by Anton Barbeau, as interviewed on Nakedly Examined Music ep. 50.
