Breaking Down: Collapse

Awesome!

personally i think these topics need an intersectional perspective (acknowledging nation state entities, hierarchy, and underlying systemic problems associated w/ the global west) but i completely understand why that’s a barrier for entry and accessibility. acknowledging global truths about politics can easily be a turnoff when those truths are in blindspots for the listener. otherwise, a fantastic access point into our changing climate and the world that will be on our shoulders in only a few yrs time, if not currently

Guys, I would send you an email but I can't find an address. Your episode on Eastern Religion where Kellen discussed Buddhism was a very good synopsis. A few tips to clear up some of the points: The First Noble Truth is the statement that suffering exists in the world, not that life is suffering. Each of the truths has 3 aspects that need to be penetrated to or fully experienced. Thus, we have to feel the experience of suffering. The third truth, the cessation of suffering, directs us to experience the end of suffering, which is possible. Once we get intimate with what suffering feels like and how we create it we can also have the experience of not suffering. Cory asked what happens when you achieve enlightenment: no, you don't disappear, you cease to suffer. Karma can be simply understood as cause-and-effect. This causes that.

Y’all literally got ahead of yourselves and tried starting another podcast covering a less relevant topic then tried to back track onto this one again because (and I’m just assuming) that the other podcast is not thriving like you hoped (no surprise). I reviewed back when you came out with the “Wrap up” saying exactly this. I have to say the 2 episodes that you released were weak in comparison to earlier episodes and were not information rich. It was also a funny hear you both step around and avoid the topic of ya’ll “wrapping up” like it was temporary the whole time (which honestly just showed that everything did not work out how you thought it would). The weeks since you released those episodes which you used to release every week also shows the decline in quality.
