In conclusion, I consider a few of the pitfalls one is likely to encounter if they decide to pursue new values. I also provide a few suggestions for some approaches that might be helpful in beginning the process of adopting a new set of beliefs. Mostly, though, I want to encourage anyone who might be interested in running a values experiment.

Krishna reveals the divine wisdom to Arjuna who is thoroughly confused by what Krishna says as you may have been as well. Some deep Hindu theology is working in the background of this passage that is difficult to pick up in translation.

Money is, as I’ve mentioned, the core value in our societies today. Generally attacked throughout philosophical history, it is currently celebrated as THE value that answereth all other values. However, there might be just one or two very small problems with using money as a value to organize our lives and provide meaning on the way to achieving our goals.

Krishna introduces a series of key points that will be repeated throughout the rest of the Gita: Action is better than inaction, Sacrifice, and the renunciation of Ends. With these concepts, the Gita weaves key ideas from Buddhism back within the structure of Vedic Hinduism by re-imagining the foundations of the sacrificial economy.

Hello everyone! I want to share the audio of my live lecture from Maastricht, the Netherlands a couple Wednesdays ago, April 29.

The lecture is on the phenomenology of AI in the mytho-poetic mind. Hope you enjoy. Here's the write-up:

AI, in itself, may not actually be that interesting. However, the way we perceive and respond to the idea of AI marks a central tendency of human civilization, spanning the rise of the mytho-poetic outlook, to centralized religions through digital technology and, now, AI. By reflecting on how the narrative of AI is presented and distributed we learn much about our deeply ingrained cultural outlooks.
