    46. Doing the roona-thing

    This episode was recorded on 210601. Helena got bit by the covid-bug, and that roona-thing plays a large part in this conversation that also centers around Morphogenetic field theory by Rupert Sheldrake (recommending you read The Science Delusion), The Press Freedom day, with a brief mention of a South Africa article.

    52. Julius Caesar and Shakespeare make an appearance

    This episode was recorded on 210315. 1 yr anniversary - first Buddhas on Corona recorded 14MAR2020. On Corona, on vaccines, direct democracy, risk, science (both soft and hard), cognitive dissonance, entitlement and duty. Helena also reveals that she listens to these episodes once they're published and she LAUGHS along with all three Buddhas. Laughter - it's a great thing, is it not? Both Julius Caesar and Shakespeare make an appearance, fitting on the anniversary episode! Could the fall of Rome be a hint of what might be coming in the aftermath of the Covid-19-pandemic? It's a bit like the boy who cried Wolf in the emperor's new clothes having a baby... Then Caspian saves the day by abolishing the nation state. Yeah. It's one of those episodes. (Like... eh, all of 'em. Yeah. ExActly!) Read more: Dag Hammarskjöld Markings: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2171700.Markings

    49. There are two kinds of people

    An episode where D goes shopping for an argument... without much success, but it makes for some interesting deep messy conversations alongside the general banter. There's contrarianism, astrology and Apple products, Hegelian dialogue and  two forms of Covid (the actual virus and the political virus), IQ tests and the DISC-test, and a whole lot more. We also mention (at least...) these things: Adam Grant book https://www.adamgrant.net/book/think-again/ On Being episodes on marriage: https://onbeing.org/programs/david-blankenhorn-and-jonathan-rauch-the-future-of-marriage/ On Being episodes on racism: https://onbeing.org/programs/derek-black-and-matthew-stevenson-befriending-radical-disagreement/ This episode was recorded on 210824.

    48. Heroes and sticky conversations

    This episode was recorded on 210324.  When Helena became the hero of a 16-year old desperate kid who'd bought her son's Fortnight account, Dominic playing the evil Easter bunny and Caspian counters Helena's cute story with a crazy Santa-movie. Then we go down a rabbit hole where the former Swedish chancellor was arrested and locked up for a few days for a #metoo-ish issue, and out collective and individual difficulty of having the sticky, messy and hard conversations. Malmö University had a public spat on a similar topic with a group of sexology students having some serious issues with the teachings and culture of the department. And then there's the issue of the power dynamics on and on social media platforms, and the dumbing down effect of our "modern lifestyle". About role models and airing dirty laundry in the open or behind closed doors, ending on a fairly serious note, asking if there is a way to help someone start to look within and reflect?
