- Gesellschaft und Kultur
Documented journey and experiences of a clueless guy trying to make sense and thrive in this world. Turns out, the best way to go about doing that is to first of all, unlearn all the preconceived bullshit that has been fed to us by our schools and society. Or, as said by Bruce Lee a bit more eloquently: Empty your cup so that it may be filled.
My name is Dhruv and I’m the solo host of this podcast series. Tune in to listen to me talk about my ideas and thoughts about the process of learning (and unlearning) and the people who have impacted me deeply as well as their principles about life.

Episode 25: Darwin's Theory of Evolution And "Living Fossils"
Dissecting the concept of evolution. It is the most level-headed explanation for how living organisms have developed on this planet. But that wasn't always the case when Darwin first proposed it.
How sharks have more or less remained oblivious to this phenomena. And, some (possible) expansions of this theory that takes us out of the "scientific" plane.

Episode 24: A Taoist Parable
I narrate a short parable rooted in the philosophy of Taoism that contains a profound message about the idea of 'the pathless path'.
It forces one to look within and question the idea of a goal or a destination and the futility of it.

Episode 23: Time Chambers
I dissect a really cool concept of Hyperbolic Time Chamber from everyone's favorite childhood anime - Dragon Ball Z. You might or might not remember it but I'm here to remind you how it was a crucial place and how one can translate the concept behind the time chamber to our own world's reality.
No, you will (likely) not become a Super Sayyan but you are bound to gain an unfair advantage in terms of personal growth and pursuit of your goals, whatever they may be.

I talk about the constant trade-off faced by any creator between consistency and authenticity. How to balance the two using a simple framework I've come to admire more and more. What should one do at times of a "creative crisis".
