Humans can't interpret many things due to physical and biological limitations; seeing various rays of light, hearing various frequencies of sound, understanding the various dimensions, etc. . Communication also adds limitations to the interpretation, sharing and understanding of knowledge. We discussed these limitations and their effect on human progress.
Virtual reality, robots, electric cars...We've seen technology progress exponentially, and it seems like it will continue to do so; but is there a limit? Mankind has also progressed technologically, but on an individual level we seem to be moving backwards. Our low attention span, and constant hunger to consume content prevents us from reserving time for ourselves and thinking. Today we discussed these ideas, and predicted possibly changes in tech and our society in the future.

This is our first ever episode recorded in person! The current forms of government bring about a false sense of order and peace, however these systems are flawed down to their roots all the way to their application. Today we broke this idea down with a new guest and analyzed different forms of government, and suggested improvements to the current systems. Our focus was mainly on Pakistan's government, but we also explored the ideas of humans as hunter gatherers and discussed how to maintain perfect order and peace; in the process we broke down the concept of heaven.

Discussed various content creators & artists who used clout to enter other fields like music and sports; we brought up KSI, Logan Paul, and even J.Cole . We talked about the growth of these artists and them branching out & possibly trying to change their image, like Joji. Just debated whether such diversions are wrong, or a smart way to grow.
Pascal's Wager, A Simple Surgery, and Donald's Equim.
Thought experiments can send us down a deep pit of daunting thoughts, but they also provide a basis for interesting conversations; and that is exactly what happened in this episode.
Our conversation covered ideas of the role of fear in religion, freewill, the value of happiness & knowledge, and morals. Thanks to a new guest we were also exposed to fresh ideas and perspectives.

Started off by talking about the human mind; many people try to avoid their thoughts and treat their mind as something separate, and as something working against them. We discussed this idea and talked about our own views on the topic. We then went on to talk about Absurdism as we debated over the purpose of life. We commented on religion, as we argued that religion brings order and provides purpose. We ended up talking about the education system, and proposed ideas to tweak it.
Decided to have a lighter episode!
We talked about the pros and cons of each bending style from Aang The Last Airbender, and discussed which style would suit us based on our personalities. We also analyzed the jedi philosophy and highlighted the flaws within it which led to many problems within the Star Wars universe. This episode is about lighter topics, but the discussions are still quite insightful.
Talking about a world without countries: its pros and cons, and its practicality. Talking about the reasons for division/lack of unity, our vision of a community based world and space colonization. Personally my favorite conversation, so listen to the entire thing!
Talked about time travel; whether we would go back or to the future. Broke down the complications in time travel, and went on random tangents. We analyzed Batman's Philosophy of not killing, and debated whether it is right or wrong. We then discussed various characters of the DC universe.
Analyzed the feeling of guilt and broke down the reasons behind the emotion. Then continued on to discuss religion's role in maintaining order, and talked about what we would do/how we would act in a world without religion. We discussed concepts of freewill and reflected on society along the way.
Using a random word generator, we ended up talking about patience. Discussed ideas of Fate and brushed over some Stoic teachings, while self-reflecting whether we are patient or not. We discuss predestination and the idea of freewill, with a few other random discussions here and there.
This is a lighter and more personal episode where we discuss music. We analyze the lyrics, beat and explore our personal connections with various songs and then rank our top 5 favorite songs. Our selection varies from rock, rap, blues, indie, etc.
Talking about the Truman mentality, individual significance and what we'd do if we found out that we WERE Truman.
