Discussions with Dave Dave Barletta

Do you want to listen to what Dan and I discussed?

My younger brother is majoring in psychology. He's taking abnormal psych this semester and in the process learning about my personality from an academic setting. We spend an hour agreeing with each about how great we are. He suspects we slipped up and something useful might've gotten said. I'll let you be the judge

Me and Dan discuss universal unity, the overlap between Zen and Western Psychology, and then Dan explains visualization meditation.

Dan Rotnem the Buddhist badass comes back to clear up some confusion I have about how Daoism and Mahayana Buddhism are mixed together to create Zen Buddhism and then we talk about the 11 precepts of Hollow Bones Zen Buddhism.

In this episode, I finally get my shit together and record a proper episode on a working internet connection with no rookie editing or recording mistakes. This episode does a great job of introducing me as a person and the overarching philosophy I'm trying to illustrate with everything I publish. I talk to my best friend Larry about our spiritual philosophies, and then I narcissistically refuse to admit my flaws while he gives me some valid criticisms about my pointless social media crusade.

In episode two, I talk to one of the wisest dudes I've ever met crawling around the Facepage, Dan Rotnem. We Talk about Buddhism, Daoism, and my sociopathy. This dude is definitely gonna be a regular.
