Hope you love it!

Update on the Q&A. Still planning on doing it. Just not yet sure of exactly what form it will take. Didn't realize how much a Q&A would get me to question what message I'm trying to send with whatever platform exists here. I am caught between two positions: 


1. I want to give as much value as I can to the people that make this show and my life possible. Why wouldn't I answer any questions someone is curious to hear my take on? Patreon subs are the closest thing to family that I have!


2. Posting anything publicly makes the intent and message no longer mine to decide. I don't think I am the one to offer clarity on anything. I am grossed out by the idea of giving advice to anyone. I truly see myself as unqualified to give any sort of coherent opinion that does anything but just contribute to the noise that's already out there. Plenty of other people to learn about the world from that seem far more intelligent than me. 

I just want to keep making these podcasts for everyone and hopefully inspire some good conversations. Thanks for understanding. I will keep you all posted when I figure out a responsible way to conduct the Q&A! 


Be well!

One possibly useful way to approach doing Q&A wholesomely is to be like a reference desk-- if someone (not an expert) has a philosophical question or line of inquiry, it can be very helpful to find someone who can say something like, "Hey, why don't you look into (philosoper x's book yyy on the stuff he has to say about zzz)" or "this school of thinkers in the xy century was interested in these same kinds of approaches- maybe give them a look". It's actually hard to find this sort of information just searching and sifting the card catalog/wikipedia way. My sense is you can likely do this without needing to be Answer Guy, Guru, Expert or any of the other stuff that doesn't feel appropriate to garb yourself with. This way you can just be a fellow inquirer, fellow traveller who just happens to have turned over a lot of philosophical rocks and can save the questioner some time- could that work?

Sorry late to the show. I wanted to post this quote at the end about art not being binary and there being multiple truths depending on perspective but found that as a stand-alone troublesome in today’s environment. People can believe what they want to believe and shouldn’t fall into historically ingrained dogmas but there is an issue today with people blurring belief and fact that is dangerous. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
