Indian Atheist PodcastWhen theists weaponise agnosticism Hi everyone. So I wanted to talk about agnostics. Because we do encounter agnostics a lot. And one of the reasons I wanted to talk about this is because there is a whole lot of kind of misguided enthusiasm for soft religiosity going on. And I'll tell you what I mean by that. Think about what agnostics mean when they say that they're agnostic about the existence of God. You can be agnostic about many things, by the way, if you're undecided about something you're agnostic about it. But agnosticism in general in the philosophic sense means not knowing wh...2023-05-0403 minIndian Atheist PodcastWhy religious folks always feel under attackHave you noticed something interesting about how people who try to defend culture often complain about culture getting lost or destroyed? On the one hand, it is actually impossible for culture to get destroyed because culture is continuously evolving and new cultural elements are being created with every passing second.
So culture itself is not going anywhere, but people complain about culture getting destroyed quite often, and religions in. Are always saying that we are under attack. Why is this? Have you ever wondered in any society I. Religions occupy a position of power and the people...2023-04-1603 minIndian Atheist PodcastYou don't have a body.

It involves going after superstitions and irrationality wherever they may raise their heads. But many in India hesitate to engage with religion. This episode is about why it is important to resist religion. Perhaps more important than any individual bit of irrationality.2023-03-1209 minIndian Atheist PodcastMythology is not historyStorytelling has been the backbone of human civilisation for a long time. It has given rise to tales that have changed the world and influenced generations of human beings and their nations. This is perhaps why we often mistake them for history - the actual past. This episode is about disambiguation.2023-03-0508 minIndian Atheist PodcastNo reason to believe 'someone' created everythingBelievers seem to have a great amount of difficulty adjusting to the reality that they are looking at the universe through a human-coloured lens. This is perhaps why they ask "who created everything?" without often considering that the question might as well be "how did everything come into being?" or "what caused it all?". In this episode, I point out that this line of argument should be stopped right at the first word - the "who" part.

Indian Atheist PodcastThe impossibility of being humanThe human condition is something philosophers have wrestled with since long. It occurred to me that perhaps I should get in the ring as well.

Indian Atheist PodcastOur identity in the cosmosThe question about identity is something that has obsessed people for ages. Are we humans? Are we Indians? Are we Canadian-Indians? Are we men or women or bipeds or life forms? Are we Hindus or Muslims or Christians or Atheists? Perhaps we are all of these things. Is there any clear answer to this at all? I am not saying I have an answer. But what I can do is break the question down.2023-02-1214 minIndian Atheist PodcastHow Indian Atheism is differentAtheism is a rejection of god.

This episode is an attempt at disambiguation.2023-02-0514 minIndian Atheist PodcastWelcome to the Indian Atheist PodcastThis podcast is meant to be a closer look at atheism in India and the various dynamics that control its perception, spread, and even its definitions. 2023-01-2804 min

Of course, what goes without saying is that my idea of "growth" is not simply increasing my follower count or my post views.I also spend some time explaining why I am wary of the appearance of being intelligent and how that has to do with toxic strains of Indian culture.2021-08-2320 minRadio VimohThe Indian Atheist problemThe thing that has been on my mind for the last week has been being an Indian atheist and the complications that come with it because much of the impetus behind the modern atheism movement comes from Western atheism movement, a cultural movement which was primarily anti-Abrahamic religions. And Abrahamic religions are followed in India by persecuted minorities. This episode is mostly me talking out aloud about how to strike an internal balance.2021-08-1415 minRadio VimohStar Trek, China, and leaving homeWe all have homes.

MythofictionThe Rakshas SolutionOne hundred years ago, the gods made a prophecy foretelling the coming of a hero who will slay the lord of the Rakshas Dominion. That day is today. It will not pass by like any other day of course. But it will probably not go the way you think it will.

2019-08-2805 minRadio VimohA YouTube for podcasts - Platform vs ProtocolWe talk about platforms so often these days that it appears protocols don't exist. But they do, and they power large chunks of the internet. Email, blogging, and podcasting are perhaps the last vestiges of the open web publishing. So I try to make a case against the much-talked-about YouTube for podcasts.2019-03-1019 min
Radio VimohWhat I hate about writers and artistsIf you are a writer who believes it is not your job to market your work, this is for you. If you are an artist who thinks marketing is a dirty word and that capitalist forces are out to get you, this is for you. If you are someone who thinks the whole system is rigged against you, then consider this a whack on the side of your head. This is your age. This is your time. It is time you knew this.Music is *Werq* by Kevin MacLeod. Never miss an update.

There is some thought given to target audiences, some idea of the duration of the piece. I even obsess over font sizes and paragraph lengths. I script things out and take great pains to create a smooth experience.Though most of my work has some kind of character, I am often accused of being without a personality. All information and no passion. People who are close to me say this is not true, because I do wave my hands around excitedly when talking and smile and jump at fun ideas.So...2019-02-1710 minRadio VimohTalking animals, gods, and aliensA lot of cultural infrastructure that goes into the making of human civilisation is fictional in nature. For example, there is literally no difference between talking animal characters in children’s stories, aliens in adult science fiction, and the gods of mythology. They all come from the same source — human imagination in service of the human survival instinct. They all came into being because we need to understand.Today’s audio is about that. That and Duck Tales of course. Never miss an update.

He has always meant something more to me -- someone brave enough to doubt himself. Valmiki Ramayan makes several mentions of Hanuman's fears.So I wrote a story about self belief and put Hanuman in it. This story is a personal favourite. Also, this is the first episode I have made with sound effects in it. I hope I didn't go overboard. Let me know! Also, this is the first episode to have patrons listed in the credits at...2019-01-2608 minRadio VimohThe City GodWhen you think about it, omnipotence is a somewhat silly idea. We assign it to our gods unthinkingly, never stopping to wonder what we are burdening them with. So I wrote a story to put myself in a god's shoes.2019-01-2306 minRadio VimohKrishna's Song (Hindi)Some say the Buddha said " I am but a finger pointing to the moon. Don’t look at me; look at the moon." Others say the Buddha didn't say so, thus missing the point completely. And the point is missed all around us all the time. So I wrote a story about the music that Krishna is said to have played to do my part in making sure people don't miss the point.**Music:** Kevin MacLeod2019-01-1605 minRadio VimohTalking animals, gods, and aliensWhat can Duck Tales tell us about the human condition? What are we really doing when we tell stories about talking animals? What's up with Star Trek aliens? We are a storytelling animal and it is important that we do not forget that.2018-10-0211 minRadio VimohWhere gods come fromIn addition to telling us that gods created us and how the gods created us, creation myths also tell us WHAT the gods created us FOR. Creation myths they tell us what we are allowed to do and what we are not allowed to do. I believe that the gods come from a place that lies somewhere between two human impulses -- the impulse to cooperate and the impulse to destroy. What happens when an empathetic creature commits murder? The answer is guilt. Guilt happens. And what do we need when we feel guilt? We need forgiveness. So when humans...2018-09-0721 minRadio VimohHuman exceptionalism - How language keeps us thinking we are awesomeWhat if I told you Cows do not give us milk? What if I told you Trees do not give us oxygen. What if I told you that we have lied to ourselves from the beginning of civilisation? The history of religion is the history of language. Religion and the law both seek to define what it means to be human and tell us how to behave. Both are human-centric. Both prioritise human beings. Both tell us the story of human exceptionalism. In the eyes of both worldviews, the human being holds a special place. Religion says human beings were...2018-08-2614 minRadio VimohThe mark-fetching subjectIn which I go on an elaborate rant about the Indian education system and how the middle-class relates with it.2018-08-2011 min
