Assembly of Silence

In this episode Judah makes the case for vulnerability while Noah takes a more cautious protective stance, examining the costs and benefits to being transparent about personal states of being. When is it OK to let out your demons and when do you have to suck it up, keep calm and carry on? We conclude by noting that to speak truth in a world based upon lies is to risk destroying everything. So essentially this whole episode is a zero-sum game.

In this episode we begin by discussing equilibrium and death. We then distinguish between the knowable and the unknowable and speculate about the various reasons we make up so much stuff about the latter. This leads into questions about “truth, freedom and will” versus “lies, slavery and acceptance”. We then realize the value of a good story even if it’s based upon lies. We then accidentally light something on fire, discuss why the brain lies to us, imagine how this capacity came into being, and get drawn back into a bunch of speculation about the heart’s feelings using the overlay of the mind’s thoughts.
