He's also a Buddhist intimately acquainted with the effects of meditation on the brain. Mohamad brings his expansive interdisciplinary knowledge of medicine, math, poetry, and philosophy to our discussion of meaning, morality, religion, and trauma. The takeaway? Nothing is destroyed, only changed. Go brain plasticity!

    Ep. 5 The Question is Broken

    Thomas Gerkin has studied philosophy and ethics extensively, but that doesn't mean he has all the answers. We talk about his religious journey through two Christian sects, atheism, and agnosticism, and why he believes questions of meaning are beyond logic. Also, we compare a few possible universes, I learn about Simone Weil, and Thomas recommends some excellent Bach tunes.
