In this episode of "Death And," mortician Victor M. Sweeney sits down with online coach and podcaster Karl Schudt. The two delve into how death—as the ultimate inconvenient physical reality—forces us to confront both the tangible and intangible aspects of being human. Their wide-ranging discussion covers everything from the economic and moral implications of AI, the importance of voluntary hardship, and the value of putting real effort into things like funerals, strength training, and writing an obituary. Karl Schudt reflects on living both physically and spiritually in a rapidly digitizing world, while Victor shares hands-on experiences from funeral work that highlight our need to balance mind, body, and soul. The episode encourages listeners to embrace both the analog “meat world” and the higher pursuits of thought, as a way to live—and grieve—more meaningfully.
