The Pocket PhilosophersIslamic PhilosophyFellow philosophers, Welcome to another day in our study of timeless wisdom. Yesterday we surveyed the philosophy of Moses the religious branches which his life fostered, and today we pivot toward another influential tradition which has touched all corners of the world: Islam. I sense a deep humility in approaching this topic because, unlike much of the other topics we cover here, I feel like I know so very little. I’m lucky enough to have had some very informative and intimate experiences with Muslim communities in my city—the local Islamic Center opens its...2021-11-2305 min
The Pocket PhilosophersMosesPhilosophers, I hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend. Today, we’re going to begin part II in our Two-Week Philosophical Crash Course. We’re starting in a potentially unexpected place, analyzing the philosophy of Moses. Depending on where you are coming from, Moses might usher images ranging from a Sunday School cartoon baby-in-a-basket, to a sacred-holy prophet, to founder/patriarch. Yet for others, Moses serves as an archetype—not necessarily a historical figure but the representation of humanity itself—a role he would bestow upon the whole of Israel upon his death. 2021-11-2204 min
The Pocket PhilosophersAugustine of HippoToday at a Glance:Christianity was on the brink of extinction, then the Roman Emperor adopted and spread the faith (albeit with force.) St. Augustine was an early theologian working to unify the philosophy of “christandom”—the faith of the new Roman Empire and the Roman Catholicism. Augustine’s Epistemology, Ethics, and Ontology united Plato and Christianity foreverPhilosophers, Welcome to day 4 of our two-week series: Philosophy Crash Course. Today, we’re bringing it full circle as we study St. Augustine of Hippo. I say full circle bec...2021-11-1804 min
The Pocket PhilosophersJesusPhilosophers, Today we’re continuing our crash course, hitting the wave tops of the most important ideas in philosophy. By important, I simply mean those that made the most impact in their time, and continue to do so even today. This week we’re focusing on Euro-centric philosophy, and next week will be Ex-European. Jesus is a figure which could have fit into either category. Interestingly, early Christianity emerged in response to Roman occupation of Jewish communities in Israel, but it was the occupying Romans who would eventually become responsible for Christianity’s European (and gl...2021-11-1705 min
The Pocket PhilosophersMarcus AureliusFor nothing is so productive of elevation of mind as to be able to examine methodically and truly every object that is presented to you in life, and always to look at things so as to see at the same time what kind of universe this is, and what kind of use everything performs in it, and what value everything has with reference to the whole.—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations III, v11Philosophers, I hope you enjoyed day 1 of our Crash Course.

The Pocket PhilosophersAnxiety, Anger. Curiosity, Contemplation“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”— Viktor E. FranklPhilosophers, This morning is all about this space. The moment just before we are filled with the righteous anger of our evolutionary ancestors. Just before we shrink away in anxiety, or spiral down in isolation and resentment.Of course, there are many reasons for feelings of isolation, sadness, depression, anger, and resentment. I’ve found these are experiences best explored through...2021-11-0305 min
The Pocket PhilosophersAnxiety, Anger. Curiosity, Contemplation.It’s not a matter of the right choice or the wrong choice, but simply that we are often presented with a dilemma about bringing together the inspiration of the teachings with what they mean to us on the spot. There is a perplexing tension between our aspirations and the reality of feeling tired, hungry, stressed-out, afraid, bored, angry, or whatever we experience in any given moment of our life.—Pema Chodron (lionsroar)Lovers of Wisdom, Welcome to today’s installment of TPP. We’re jumping right in. The above quote perfectly captures...2021-11-0204 min

Keep an eye out for a unique opportunity and update from Matt at TPP!**Fellow Philosophers, All this week we’re going to be studying a certain type of phenomenon. It’s a universally human reaction to the ups and downs of life. No matter how much we’d all like to be above or beyond this type of experience, it defines so much of our collective and individual lives. In an interview about his film 2001: A Space Odyssey director (and philosop...2021-11-0103 min
The Pocket PhilosophersPhilosophy of the AztecsPhilosophers, Today we conclude this week’s series exploring the voices of the often overlooked. Tomorrow we’re opening a thread so we can hear from you and include your philosophy, tradition, faith, or worldview into our two-week long series studying access and inclusion in the discipline of philosophy. For this final episode, it’s all about the Aztec Empire. A few months ago we did a piece on Aztec happiness (it’s really interesting and there’s an audio version, highly recommend) But today, we want to take an even broader view and think abou...2021-10-2704 min
The Pocket PhilosophersHypatiaGood morning philosophers, Today we are going to study the work and life Hypatia—often regarded as the world’s first woman philosopher to have her work recorded and preserved, and the earliest ancestor of the feminist philosophical tradition. Her father, Theon (I checked, not Theon Greyjoy) was a slightly less famous philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician that helped to carve a space for their family. What’s most interesting about Hypatia, in my opinion, was the time-period through which she lived. She and Theon were from the ancient city of Alexandria, in Egypt...2021-10-2603 min
The Pocket PhilosophersExperiencing the OtherGood morning everyone, Today we’re here to ask if Philosophy has a gender bias. This question is important not just because it is a question of fairness, inclusivity, and equality, but because of how it reflects the larger purpose of our series this week. Regardless of who is being excluded, it’s more than just immoral or oppressive (though it is those things and more) it’s malpractice. Historically, throughout every society certain people have been given a platform to share their experience, while others are barred from the conversation. Th...2021-10-2105 min
The Pocket PhilosophersAssimilation as Education*Note, today’s reading contains descriptions of forced education, abuse, and neglect in boarding schools and in war. For two years I lived in southern Oklahoma. One of my daughters, in fact, was born there. It was an interesting place to live and to start a family. The land was seemingly barren, beautifully harsh, and confusingly hospitable. At first look, the strong winds, brown rocks, and sparse vegetation was only matched by the even more sparse human settlements and development. In many ways it was and is a land frozen in a mo...2021-10-2007 min
The Pocket PhilosophersBlack Scholarship in AmericaGood morning friends, Today we’re going to begin our survey of philosophy and marginalized voices in the halls of American Higher Education. Specifically, we’ll be analyzing the marginalization of Black voices.As we will see, there are two ways in which this marginalization occurs. First, it is in the physical exclusion of Black bodies. It wasn’t until well into the Reconstruction years that only a few people of color were allowed in the halls of academia (not to mention women and women of color, but more on that later.) Second...2021-10-1906 min
The Pocket PhilosophersWho Owns Philosophy?Hello everyone, All this week we’re going to be “stepping back” so to speak. For the last few months, we’ve learned about happiness, finance, and habits. We’ve read from the wisdom of the ancients and heard from modern philosophers trying to make the future a better place than the present. Regardless of where you turn, however, there is something uncomfortable about the world of philosophy. So many of the theories, events, and words which remain in philosophy’s accessible modern dictionary come from, well, men. And until very recentl...2021-10-1804 min
The Pocket PhilosophersGame Theory Vol. IIWAR is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very...2021-10-1406 min
The Pocket PhilosophersGame Theory Vol IIThe Times 03/Jan/2008 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks—AnonymousThis text was embedded in the coinbase of the first block ever mined by the founder of Bitcoin. It serves as a historical reference and time stamp, but also a mission statement. This infamous quote has no one to claim it, because the founder of this technology has intentionally remained anonymous, despite many attempts to locate or guess their identity. This anonymity, however, is central to the success of the technology. It is incorruptible, unable to be influenced, bought, or...2021-10-1306 min
The Pocket PhilosophersGame Theory Vol. IIUnder the energy currency system the standard would be a certain amount of energy exerted for one hour that would be equal to $1—Henry Ford (FORD)Yes, that Henry Ford. In the December 4th 1921 issue of The New York Tribune Henry Ford declared his intention to redefine value and economics as we know it. In many ways, Ford perfectly envisioned the future of decentralized finance, distributed ledger technology, and something like bitcoin. Replacing gold with energy upends the very basis of the systems which increase outbreaks human violence (ie war), decrease political st...2021-10-1204 min
The Pocket PhilosophersGame Theory Vol. IIWelcome back my friends, Trust, growth, and energy. These are the basic ingredients of the most successful game ever played. Today we kick off Volume Two on Game Theory. Last week we spent time unpacking the definitions, the philosophers, and the basic construction of game theory, gamification, and various social experiments which helped create the discipline. Then we began to study how game theory effects the world in 3 big areas: tech, finance, and war. We wrapped up last week with tech, and continue the conversation today and tomorrow with finance...2021-10-1105 min
The Pocket PhilosophersGame TheoryGood morning Friends, Today we’ll wrap up our conversation on Gamification and Technology. Yesterday we managed to create a common language around gamification, and today we’ll do a quick philosophical analysis. Our ultimate goal at TPP is to increase our empathy and compassion. Bringing light to a few aspects inherent within this complex system will be really interesting and in line with our deepest values/goals. As we all saw earlier this week with the 6 hour Facebook outage, the modern world and the digital world are deeply intertwined. In fact, I think it’s...2021-10-0705 min
The Pocket PhilosophersGame TheoryHello everyone, Let me start today with a question: Do you play video games? Candy Crush, Fortnite, Minecraft? I’m one of the few, the very few, that somehow missed the boat. I’ve never played anything beyond a trial, or found joy in the experience of gaming in general. Similarly, I was also averse to board games for most of my life. All things gaming, anything that didn’t have a “real-world” value just wasn’t sticky for me. I’m not sure what it was to be honest. But i...2021-10-0605 min
The Pocket PhilosophersGame TheoryHello everyone, Welcome back to Chapter 2 of our Series on Game Theory. Yesterday, we introduced the basic concepts of Game Theory while today we’ll be breaking open one of its fundamental and earliest experiments: The Prisoner’s Dilemma.So let’s get into exactly what dilemma the prisoner face, shall we? Like most situations surrounding game theory, we must first understand the rules. In fact, as we will see, rules can be a powerful construct and agreement—a contract of sorts—if leveraged properly. In many instances, the way that rules are establi...2021-10-0506 min

The Pocket PhilosophersGame TheoryFriends, I hope you had a wonderful, restful weekend. For the last week or so I’ve been doing a deep dive into a philosophical concept known as Game Theory, and I want to share some of it with you. This idea is how researchers have mapped the way humans (and other animals) approach negotiation, competition, and strategy. Even more specifically, it’s the mathematical representation of the interaction among rational decision-makers in a competitive and/or cooperative environment. People who use game theory make decisions based on probability, statistics, and data rapi...2021-10-0405 min
The Pocket PhilosophersHappiness and Habits Ch. 4In today’s final chapter, we drill down to the fundamental purpose and conclusion of this week’s letters. Once we’ve managed to wade through the dark night of grief, growth, and overcoming how do we get clear on our passions and purpose?We see this concept supported in something like Ikigai, an ancient idea which emerged among various Japanese philosophies. In Okinawa, a small island off the coast of Japan, this idea dominates almost every community. Not accidentally, these islands harbor the highest concentration of people living above the age of 100 in the wor...2021-09-3002 min
The Pocket PhilosophersHappiness and Habits Ch. 3Happy people tend to be in love with the process of showing up for their passion everyday, and finding ways to share it with others. In many of the ancient traditions which practiced the self-denial mentioned yesterday, there were a few caveats that are often missing in their modern descendants. (This a continuation of yesterday’s letter.)First, the denial was almost always temporary. If we look at the Vedic stages of life, for example—an idea curated by the earliest Gurus of Hindu Philosophy—we see that there are in fact two seasons set aside specific...2021-09-2902 min

If you didn’t get a chance, you can listen to or read it here. We continue today by attempting to answer the question: how do we find what we really want?First, we have to accept that we do have wants, that it is in fact ok to have them. That it is ok to take up space and affect the world for better or worse. That our needs are valid.2021-09-2803 min

That topic is Happiness. We’re going to build each letter on the next, creating a story arc that I hope delights and surprises each of us. In many ways, this week will be an effort to break down this elusive state called happiness to its constituent parts, and ask what makes the whole of a person truly happy.

Two for the Road: Movies with Matt and Adam79: If.... (1968) and Bananas (1971)Text Matt & Adam!Revolution is in the air. Matt had never heard of the British film "If...." (1968) until Adam had him watch it. He loved it. A young Malcom McDowell stars as the lead "revolutionary" in an all boys prep school as he and a couple friends decide that school should be out, permanently. "If" is refreshingly unique and a little weird. Check it out. Woody Allen's "Bananas" (1971) was one of Matt's favorite films from high school, but now he thinks it doesn't hold up well.

This week we’re going to look at the theme of mindfulness from various perspectives—today beginning with Skepticism from Ancient Greece. As we unpack this concept, one note out of the gate that I think is important to keep in mind. This word has many meanings throughout history, and I think it’s important we take time to respect that. In some traditions like Stoicism or even in modern psychotherapy, mindfullness is akin to a tool...2021-05-1706 min

I’ll share some historical context in the Backstory section below, but suffice to say this theory is the basis for modern, global legal norms regarding war the rights of nations. While yesterday we considered a world where peace is accepted as our collective homeostasis, today we look at the world assuming that war is our natural state. ThoughtWar is a world apart, where life itself is at stake, where human nature is reduced to its...2021-05-0509 min
The Pocket PhilosophersPeaceThoughtOn the one hand, people of all nations proclaim not only their readiness but their longing for peace and harmony, for an end to the harrowing apprehensions tormenting their daily lives. On the other, uncritical assent is given to the proposition that human beings are incorrigibly selfish and aggressive and thus incapable of erecting a social system at once progressive and peaceful, dynamic and harmonious, a system giving free play to individual creativity and initiative but based on cooperation and reciprocity.—Bahá’í House of Justice in a Letter to all of Humankind, October 1995Applic...2021-05-0406 min
The Pocket PhilosophersPeaceGood morning friends! I hope you all had a great weekend. Today we’re opening a week’s study on the Philosophy of Peace. We’re going to approach this subject like a widening circle—beginning with the cultivation of individual, inner peace, then moving out into various philosophies of how we are to live peacefully with one another. I believe we’ll find that these two perspective share much more overlap than one might think. Today, we begin with a look at Buddhist Philosophy. ThoughtJust as a rocky mountain i...2021-05-0304 min
The Pocket PhilosophersTime to VoteGood morning friends, We’re almost to the end of our week away from wisdom as we slow down to connect with one another. I hope it’s been an enjoyable change of pace and brining you closer into the work we’re doing. As we consider the evolution we’re making from a newsletter to digital/real-world community, we wanted the feel and brand of the Pocket Philosopher to evolve with that change. With that said, we have three ways forward. But, we wanted to hear your voice and allow this space to be the c...2021-04-2903 min
The Pocket PhilosophersLet's Get Together...Friends, As promised today we’re unpacking the details about how we can bridge the gap between a newsletter we consume in isolation (although our daily newsletter will not stop!) and connected community. We’ll accomplish this by adding a few features (mentioned yesterday) that allow us to connect with one another and truly make our work here a conversation. #1 - ThreadsA few times a week, keep an eye out for threads on topics that are generating a lot of interest. You can share your experiences and engage with each other on that week...2021-04-2803 min
The Pocket PhilosophersOur MissionGood morning friends, I’m grateful for the chance to have shared my story with you yesterday. Even if only in some small way, I hope that it contextualized this newsletter for some and offered hope and solidarity for others. Today is all about you! I want to introduce the mission, values, and guiding principles of this community. Because beyond just a daily email, what is emerging here is indeed a community. So what exactly are we all doing here?First, let’s start with the working mission: To increase our...2021-04-2703 min
The Pocket PhilosophersMy StoryHello, I’m Matt. I’m the author of this daily newsletter. We’ve had a lot of new subscribers recently and have been charging through hundreds of traditions, thinkers, and philosophers at breakneck speed. This week, we’re going to take a step back and get to know each other, explain our mission, and invite you into the vision we’re building here. I want to briefly share my story, only so that you can get to know me and what motivates this work. To that end, I hope a quick backstory is helpful an...2021-04-2606 min
The Pocket PhilosophersLanguageGood morning friends, Welcome to our Weekly Rundown from our study of language. Each of the philosophers we learned from had their own unique take on the subject, but they overlapped in so many important ways as well. Let’s take a look. (Also, make sure to check out the end of this newsletter for some exciting news about next week!) MondayWhat can be said at all can be said clearly, and what we cannot talk about we must pass over in silence.—Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus...2021-04-2307 min
The Pocket PhilosophersLanguageThoughtHe [Al-Farabi] paid special attention to the study of language and its relation to logic. In his numerous commentaries on Aristotle's logical works he expounded for the first time in Arabic the entire range of the scientific and nonscientific forms of argument and established the place of logic as the indispensable prerequisite for philosophic inquiry. ApplicationIf you remember a few weeks ago, we briefly covered the struggle that philosophy (particularly the work of early Greek thinkers like Plato and Aristotle) had in surviving through the Dark Ages of European history. 2021-04-2204 min
The Pocket PhilosophersLanguageThoughtA language is not just words. It's a culture, a tradition, a unification of a community, a whole history that creates what a community is. It's all embodied in a language.—Noam ChomskyApplicationToday we continue our study of language, approaching from yet another vantage point. I believe that one could draw a direct line from Montessori, to Wittgenstein, to Chomsky. Each of these thinkers orbited this problem (what is language?) while also doing incredible work in other fields. The fact that such successful polymaths like these all co...2021-04-2104 min
The Pocket PhilosophersLanguageThoughtThe development of language is part of the development of the personality, for words are the natural means of expressing thoughts and establishing understanding between people.—Maria MontessoriApplicationWhile Wittgenstein was primarily focused on meaning and use within language, Montessori was primarily concerned with the mechanics of development and social function. She was fascinated with children, and spent countless hours observing them and testing hypotheses of their development. The greatest observation she left for us was the way in which children began absorbing language as early as 3 months ol...2021-04-2006 min
The Pocket PhilosophersLanguageHave you ever been so frustrated by a problem, that you ran away to the mountains in obscurity for 5 years? That’s the kind of response studying language can illicit. Ludwig Wittgenstein essentially gave up on philosophy after confronting his study of language and ran away to teach kindergarten. It’s so fundamental to our life that cracking open this subject can drive one mad. But don’t worry, we’ll move slow and together. We’ve got this. Thankfully, Wittgenstein would come back to philosophy and many after him would continue his work, leaving us in a much...2021-04-1907 minHowToBBQRightTalking with Matt Pittman from Meat Church BBQOn this week's episode of the HowtoBBQRight Podcast, Malcom explains what exactly the HowtoBBQRight App is (02:01), and I ask how his crawfish class went (03:24). Malcom explains going caveman for a video this week (5:50). The best hair in barbecue joins the interview, virtually (08:13), and Matt spills the beans as to what he is currently up to right now (09:14). Malcom asks Matt about his process cooking Texas brisket (13:40), and then, he wants to know what Matt’s go-to place in Texas is for BBQ (18:56). Meat Church invites Malcom out to his upcoming BBQ classes (24:50), and Malcom mentions his experience opening the re...2021-04-1654 min
The Pocket PhilosophersEthicsGood morning friends, Welcome to the Weekly Rundown. This week we explored ethics asking what it meant to live a good life, be happy, and do the “right” thing. I’m so glad we had the foundation of happiness and epistemology to build off from the last few weeks. If you’re newer, heading over to some older posts might add a new dimension to this week’s conversation. Now, for a review:MondayOur ability to communicate our own feelings, and to pick up the feelings of others and thus to he...2021-04-1606 min
The Pocket PhilosophersEthicsThoughtYou see, these are experiences that go past ethical judgments. Ethics is wiped out. Our religions, with the accent on the human…also stress the ethical. God is good. God is horrific the end of the world? Now, in the Buddhist systems, particularly as we get them from Tibet, the Buddhas appear in two aspects; there is the peaceful aspect and there is the wrathful aspect of the deity. Now, if you’re clinging to your ego and its little world and hanging on, and the deity wants to open you, the wrathful aspect comes. It s...2021-04-1507 min

The Pocket PhilosophersEthicsGood morning philosophers, I hope you’ve had a great weekend. Today, we’re going to be peeling back the layers on the conversation of ethics. We have a lot to cover. Chances are, you’ve had some exposure to this topic, and there’s even greater chance that you’ve developed your own personal ethic. So we’re going to dive a bit into the deep end right off the bat this week and challenge some conventional notions and approach the world in a different voice, through a different lens.

That shades “implicit memory” – your underlying expectations, beliefs, action strategies, and mood – in an increasingly negative direction.—Dr. Rick HansonApplicationDr. Hanson goes on say, And that’s just not fair, since probably most of the facts in your life are positive or neutral.

The Pocket PhilosophersHappinessIntroThis week, we’ll be exploring happiness and the good life. We want to know what different traditions, philosophies, and thinkers have left behind for us in their quest for contentment and fulfillment. ThoughtWhat upsets people is not things themselves but their judgements about the things. for example, death is nothing dreadful (or else it would have appeared dreadful to Socrates), but instead the judgement about death that it is dreadful—that is what is dreadful. So when we are upset or distressed, let us never blame someone else but rather ourselves, that...2021-04-0505 min

The Pocket Philosophers(Non)DualismFriends of Philosophy, Today we’re going to fast forward about a thousands years from Plato, through the European dark ages to a time of renaissance and rebirth. It’s important to set up a brief historical timeline so we’re grounded in how thought in particular evolved and struggled to survive over this time. In many respects, thought and open dialogue are the heroes of a journey who face a thousand obstacles on their path to their ultimate destiny.

The Pocket PhilosophersEpistemologyFriends, We’re going to wrap up this relatively dense week with a short maybe even spiritual reflection on knowledge, identity, and being from the Buddha.

The Pocket PhilosophersEpistemologyWelcome back Philosophy People, Today we’re going to wrap up our conversation on Immanuel Kant, but in true TPP form we’re going to use the tail end of our exploration of Kant to set us up and introduce tomorrow’s topic, which is epistemology according to the Buddha. And for good measure, we’ll throw in some ancient science from a guy named Copernicus too. We’re not entirely sure how we’re going to pull this off here on the TPP team, so you’ll definitely want to stick around and see how this goes. Every...2021-03-2504 min
The Pocket PhilosophersEpistemologyGood morning friends, I hope you’re having a great week, I’m glad you’re here this morning, really. I’m excited to peel back the next layer in our journey of understanding how we know what we know. Today we’ll be pivoting from Descartes in France to Immanuel Kant in Germany in the 18th century. Unlike Descartes who joined the army, traveled the world, studied physics, and started philosophizing in his early twenties, Immanuel Kant wouldn’t pick up the mantle until well in his fifties. His reason for joining the game so late...2021-03-2407 min
The Pocket PhilosophersEpistemologyGood morning fellow Philosophers, I hope you enjoyed yesterday and are ready to peel back another layer on knowledge and our ability to perceive the universe. (Also grateful that you returned after a day of challenging even our most basic grasp on reality!) Today we’re going to move forward a few thousand years from Theseus and his ship to France in the 1600s. There we find Rene Descartes who at the ripe old age of 23 began breaking down barriers in the larger philosophical conversation with a much needed evolution in thought, science, and epistemology. 2021-03-2306 min
The Pocket PhilosophersEpistemologyGood morning fellow philosophers, Today we begin a new week, looking at the theme of epistemology. Don’t feel bad if you’ve never heard of this word, it just means that you’re normal and didn’t waste…I mean spend…your college years studying philosophical definitions. Seriously though, this is one of my favorite philosophical concepts and we’re going to have a lot of fun diving deep (at least I will, hoping it’s mutual). Quick introduction, epistemology refers to theories of knowledge, or to put it plainly, how do we know what we (th...2021-03-2208 min
The Pocket PhilosophersOn DyingFellow Philosophers, This letter is by far the most challenging but also by far it has been the most rewarding. It’s also about twice as long as usual. This is awesome because there's so much to talk about, but not as awesome if you’re short on time. In case that’s your situation, I’ve read today’s episode as a podcast, and also included a short synopsis below. If you need to, take a few sessions to read this and check our IG account where we’ll be breaking it down over the weekend. 2021-03-1910 min
The Pocket PhilosophersOn DyingSynopsis:In this way, death was a return to the perfect—hardly anything to be feared at all. And, therefore, the joy of life was discovering this perfection in our lifetime so long as we are on earth. In other words, seeking the highest forms of beauty, virtue, ethics, and art for example gives us purpose in our short few laps around the sun. Hello Philosophy People! Welcome to day 2 of our discussion on death—you are the brave few willing to breach the topic, and I’m hopeful you’ll also see the reward o...2021-03-1607 min
