Peter Steeves joins me on this week’s episode to talk about the moments of radical break in his life, what took him from science to philosophy and then to everything, and why stones are maybe a better ethical model than anything living. You can check out Peter’s books here and see a number of his performance talks on his YouTube page. We sadly didn’t have time to talk about his performances or his scientific work this time around, but hopefully we can have a part 2 sometime soon.
