This episode is a tribute to the whole journey of three seasons and a sign of gratitude to philosophy and of course all my patient and consistent listeners! It's also very personal as I have recited one of my pieces, and the only piece very inspired by philosophy! Hope you like it, art it is

This episode is a revamp version of S1 E5 'To Hope is to Dare'. Since then, my perspective has changed and hence this. I am literally bringing to you my weirdest philosophical thoughts, and this one is surely a risky domain to experiment with! But we can always try, so here it is, the hope-belief dichotomy!

This is a very experimental episode, and mostly a fun conversation on a dilemma that i am faced with every day! Tune in for something really intriguing and fun! References: 1. Loki, the series 2. Identity, Stanford Encyclopedia

The value of a human life, if truly contemplated upon, isn't much! Resourcefullness, productivity, purpose, these are the only parameters of why a human is relevant! Isn't that pretty dystopin, though? Well, happy listening! References: 1. Squid Game, the show 2. 'Docile Bodies' ~Michel Foucault

Technology, an (un)intended necessity of our lives, must be talked about, and why not from a philosophical point of view! This will be a bit technical, so lend me your full seven minutes!

Happy listening!

Can you rationalize your faith? Kirkegaard says no! But do we not critically analyze our religions, especially in the times of globalization when we have better knowledge of the dynamics of oppression. Is it correct to play the faith card as a response then? Season 3 is all about contemplations like these, at the end of every episode, I will leave you with questions like these. Happy listening! The Atheism Test and the beginning and end are an analogy to the Machine test, The Imitation Game (Have you seen a more crazy fan?).

Its the final episode. Emotions are not seen in a very good way in our society, we embarrass people for their self-expression. And that results in a lot of chaos. Tune in to understand what Indian philosophy has for us and our emotions.

When patriarchy exists everywhere, when our society is constructed on patriarchy, and in the favour of men, how can we expect science to not get infected by it. Here is a view of bodies, in the words of Nelly Oudshoorn, a feminist biologist. Biological determinism and its biased reality. If you want to know more, read 'Beyond the Natural Body'.

Gender equality, women rights, patriarchal society, unfair power dimension, it all comes down to Feminism. So, join in for a better understanding of feminism, an ideology and a movement which needs more recognition.

Sexuality, a very integral and sensetive part of humans and their identities! And the most insensitively addressed too. Let's see how Butler addresses it! Also the acknowledgements to 'Gender Trouble' by Judith Butler(They/them).

Our culture is binary! We have been taught to not respect fluidity! Can you hear yourself? Let's see how exactly our culture has seen gender! The books I was talking about and also are a part of acknowledgements for this episode are 'Shikhandi' by Devdutt Pattanaik, and 'Seeing like a Feminist' by Nivedita Menon.

Who are you? A man, a woman, both, neither, who? Are you ideal? Are you confident? None of us really are! These categories constantly bully us, because we are always in the process of performing! Performing gender.

Identity is an integral component of one's life, it is one of the most important dimensions of human complexities. And therefore, debunking identities this time!

Welcome back! One more season of some low-key philosophical talking, life and its lessons. Some heavy words and their weight which lays on our shoulders.

There are so many things i have learnt and i will keep learning, but this are the eighteen most fundamental ones.

Accept the change as it comes, adapt to it with time. Everything is momentary and imparmanent, therefore live in the moment and be happy.

We are always taught that humans are social animals, but we need to remember that it is much more important to remember to be with yourself, to love and appreciate yourself.

Its very hard to be the individual we want to be at times, we just want to meddle with the people around us. But it is very very important to preserve our individuality every time it is attacked.

Hope is a strong word, it is something that keeps you going even in the toughest circumstances, and in the current circumstances, it is even more important to hope. So keep your hopes high.

Do you often judge things as right or wrong, true or false promptly? We all tend to do that. All our judgements are relative and cannot be said to be absolute. The philosophy of Syadvad explians it aptly.
